Alakegirl Posted February 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2018 two ten-day cruises booked, so how does Princess handle bringing two bottles of wine for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted February 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You can take double the single cruise limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optotronics Posted February 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You can take double the single cruise limit but not on the initial boarding. You get one bottle each at the beginning of each cruise. When you first leg is done, disembark, go to liquor store and embark again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you first leg is done, disembark, go to liquor store and embark again Sorry, but that is incorrect.....you can take double the amount if you are able to show that you are on b2b....done it many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried getting more than 1 each on our b2bs. Learn something new everyday:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted February 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I per person at embarkation so if you have someone else in your cabin, two per cruise. Four total. On our B2B on the Regal in November, I had to show the cruise documents for the second cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted February 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2018 As others have said, you can bring on 2 per person since you are on a b2b. We had our documents ready and they had no issue letting us on with 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted February 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2018 One per person. Each passenger of drinking age can bring one bottle of wine or Champagne (no larger than 750 ml) per voyage, which will not be subject to a corkage fee if consumed in the cabin. When brought to restaurants, a $15 corkage fee applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted February 5, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sorry, but that is incorrect.....you can take double the amount if you are able to show that you are on b2b....done it many times So have we. I always carry the boarding pass for the second cruise and am prepared to show it if proof is necessary. If I remember correctly, only once did we need to show it at the wine desk.

voljeep Posted February 5, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2018 and then, you can always get off on turnaround day and bring 2 more bottles on board who's going to know...or really care???:evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted February 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We do B2B and bring our own wine aboard paying for all above the free limit. We simply show the wine inspector that we are on a B2B using our cruise card which always shows both cruises. Never had a problem or even second glance getting the now 4 bottles (two of us) onboard the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamomo Posted February 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What about when a 25 day booked cruise is in reality a B2B, but was booked as one cruise? I don't suppose we'd be allowed to bring 2 bottles apiece without being charged the $15/bottle for the 2nd bottle per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted February 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The only problem I can see with carrying on the full allotment when first boarding doing a B2B trip is proving them with proof that you're on a subsequent trip. Do they keep record of the total free bottles per person in the cabin during the initial embarkation? It's doubtful. Sounds like a lot of record keeping for a little return.

Do they keep record of the total free bottles per person in the cabin during the initial embarkation? It's doubtful. Sounds like a lot of record keeping for a little return. It's easy, you get another boarding pass for that 2nd trip. Even though I wasn't going to need that boarding pass, I still printed it out to show them since I was bringing on 4 bottles of wine. And they did note it on a list that I had already brought my allotment for the next leg. Not that it meant that much since I'm sure I could have gone right through with another 2.

Even though I wasn't going to need that boarding pass, I still printed it out to show them since I was bringing on 4 bottles of wine. I've never seen the need of printing another boarding pass as the in-transit card get you back on board. And they did note it on a list that I had already brought my allotment for the next leg. Not that it meant that much since I'm sure I could have gone right through with another 2. I've just never taken notice if they recorded it or not. I'll do a test run on the first boarding next B2B to see if they do record all 4 bottles during the first trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only printed out the boarding pass for one of us since I wanted to show them we were doing a b2b. One of the people at the table wanted to take the other 2 bottles and said we could get them on the last night of the first cruise. The other person said "just let them on" so that's what we did.

Their policy regarding bringing on all the bottles at one time is a little hazy at best. For the people boarding the ship from an air flight, it becomes quite difficult. Since we drive it doesn't present any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your back to back cruise has its turn-around day in the same port where you embark and disembark, then your passenger copy of your booking confirmation it will show that on the itinerary. I would hope that would serve as proof that your cruise is actually two cruises even though you only have one booking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked-cruiser Posted February 6, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We are on a B2B2B in July on the Sapphire and don't drink, so there are 6 bottles going to waste i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted February 7, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We are on a B2B2B in July on the Sapphire and don't drink, so there are 6 bottles going to waste i suppose Maybe you can find people to pay you a $5 corkage charge to bring their wine on board.
