Quick question- bringing wine on board

[Victory!]

I know you are allowed to bring a bottle onboard, but two quick questions:

1. Do you pack it in your packed luggage or your carry on?

2. Can you purchase while on the island and bring it onboard?

1. It must be carried on.

2. No, only at the embarkation port. Otherwise, they would have no way of knowing if you exceeded your 1 bottle per adult limit.

 

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board with the following exception - At the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day only, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring one 750 ml bottle of sealed/unopened wine or champagne per person in their carry-on luggage.

It's supposed to be in your carryon. We did have a bottle of wine in our bag coming back from a port stop and security said nothing about it.

If you buy at a port they'll most likely hold it for you until the end of the cruise. Occasionally they miss a bottle in a backpack or bag.

YES, you CAN purchase wine at ports and bring back on with you. However they will take it when you get back on and hold it until the end of your cruise.

On my last cruise in July, we forgot to take our wine out of our checked bags to put into our carry on but it still made it on with nothing said.

True; however, I inferred that the OP was referring to wine to be consumed on the ship.

Throw a few bottles into your checked luggage. We do that pretty often. Worst case they take it, and give it back to you at the end of the cruise. But, for use they have always made it through no problem.

We always have it on our carry-on so we don’t have to worry packing it properly on checked luggage to avoid breakage.

The rules now say: Confiscated without compensation.

 

I am sure they changed it because Carnival realized cruisers had nothing to lose by trying.

 

Now it has become a risk.

I have heard they still give it back at the end of the cruise. But anyway, the loss of a couple $15 bottles of wine mean nothing to me. I still see no risk;)

I think the wine we had in our bag coming back from port was $5 so it wasn't a risk. Had they taken it they could have kept it.

Just to be clear the bag in question was a beach bag. I wouldn't put any bottles in my checked bags. Since DW can no longer drink wine it's a moot point for us.
