Rare LHT28 Posted June 24, 2017 #26 Share Posted June 24, 2017 This has been discussed before & was in the T & C a few years ago (but who reads them) Oceania usually overlooks the liquor/wine brought on unless there is a problem with the guest then they can bring out the rule book All guests had to be over 21 before to buy alcohol onboard that has not changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted June 24, 2017 #27 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I thought in the past the documents referred to three bottle limit ( that was ignored). This is quite different Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted June 24, 2017 #28 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yikes This is from oceania us ticket contract I found on line dated feb 2017 Guests agree that the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be limited to Guests who are 21 years or older and no Guest will attempt to purchase or consume such beverages in violation of this policy under any circumstances, either for themselves or others. Carrier will refuse and prohibit the sale or service of alcoholic beverages to Guests under the age of 21 years. Guests are reminded to consume alcohol in moderation and Carrier reserves the right to refuse the sale of such beverages to any intoxicated or underage Guest. Carrier reserves the right to prohibit and retain all liquor brought aboard the Ship. All liquor purchased ashore must remain in bond until disembarkation. Can this be true? Sent from my iPhone using Forums (highlighting mine) If true, I suspect that this could be a deal breaker for many. Could be the same policy as before with just different wording to better protect themselves from abuse (of alcohol or policy)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted June 24, 2017 #29 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Agree. Hope someone gets definitive answer. We are in Germany now and will board tauck river cruise in two days. May email my ta and have him inquire. Very strange Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted June 24, 2017 #30 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Yep, I hope that is just legalize to protect themselves. Their competitors seem to allow carryon liquor. Edited June 24, 2017 by happy cruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted June 24, 2017 #31 Share Posted June 24, 2017 We were last onboard Riviera this past Easter (2017). We brought aboard a half dozen wines at embarkation and bought another four across several different ports, all of which was consumed in the cabin (no fee) or at a specialty restaurant ($25 corkage). AFAIK nothing has changed and, of course O will have self-protective language in their fine print. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted June 24, 2017 #32 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Understood. We spent 34 nights on sirena in march/April and there was no change in policy. But the change in language is curious Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatbush Flyer Posted June 25, 2017 #34 Share Posted June 25, 2017 If it is I am going to have a boarding problem and it will be last ever cruise on O. Although we all know the personal booze shouldn't be a problem, you should remember that you only represent a rounding error in any cruise line's daily bottom line. Oceania would do just fine without you (or me or any other individual who frequents this forum). It's only a matter of time before some nimrod (or three) behaves in an ultra- bad way (that is booze related) and that policy will be waved in the faces of folks boarding the ship for the following few months.
