Prismism Posted July 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2018 What would be my odds of getting this bottle of Belgian beer to pass as my bottle of 'wine' when boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboatahoy Posted July 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Might work. Only risk is they toss it if they pay too much attention. Sent from my Pixel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhound92 Posted July 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2018 At Port of Miami I had 2 bottles in my bag, they didn’t take them out and look at them or anything, guess it depends on the port / how closely they check Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi You should be fine as long as they don't actually read the bottle. For the sake of one or two bottles of beer, why don't you save it for when you get home? I understand, all these silly rules :rolleyes:, is it really that important? You might find some interesting beers at some of the ports you visit. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted July 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2018 All depends upon how closely they are checking that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there are no good beers on the ship, or in Mexico for that matter. The only ale I've ever seen on the ship is Rebel IPA by Sam Adams, and that beer is just meh.. It's 750ml. I'm thinking I'll give it a try in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrate13 Posted July 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If they actually look at the bottle it's probably a goner. I too enjoy craft beers but I'll save my Delirium or Chimay for home rather than have it taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the trip advisor link. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g150809-d13113594-Reviews-Cerveceria_Punta_Sur-Cozumel_Yucatan_Peninsula.html I will be going this fall, so I might look out for it.

Garth2 Posted July 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2018 No, it would not be acceptable. You are violating the terms of the contract and could be delaying the boarding process for other passengers if security decides to search the rest of the items in your bag.

You are violating the terms of the contract and could be delaying the boarding process for other passengers if security decides to search the rest of the items in your bag. I used to work security in Port Canaveral part-time (I'm retired). Love being around ships but hated getting up at 4:00AM! Regardless, if I were working the x-ray machines when you go through I would flag your bag for a secondary inspection just to make sure it wasn't a bottle of beer (mortal sin). Unless the secondary inspector really took a close look at the bottle it would probably pass because with a cork it does look like a bottle of wine. Most cruise terminals have secondary inspection tables and it wouldn't slow down the boarding process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WifeynMe Posted July 20, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good luck and let us know how it works. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted July 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I've taken Skinny Girl Margarita as my bottle of "wine" with no problems. However they never took it out and looked at it. I think as long as it's shaped like a wine/champagne bottle, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
