marie&rick Posted June 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2019 We are going to be spending a few days in Budapest before our Avalon Envision Danube river cruise in 2 weeks. We want to buy some Palinka alcohol to bring home with us as a souvenir. Will we be able to bring this bottle on board? Can we keep it in our cabin or will they store it until the end of the cruise like they do on ocean cruise ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentchris Posted June 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2019 River cruise lines prohibit certain items from being taken on board, but rely on passengers' common sense and self restraint rather than devoting time and effort to inspecting bags. If alcohol isn't on the prohibited list you may take as much on board as you can carry and store in your cabin, and some lines are quite happy for you to consume it around the vessel. If in doubt check with Avalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisi Posted June 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2019 No problem bringing alcohol onboard with Avalon. If you wish, you may even drink wine & spirits in public areas, and if you have a special bottle of wine you wish for dinner, they allow that as well. I believe there is a working fee, we didn't try wines as we found the ones they had were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted June 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) On my 2 river cruises, yes, you could. Check with your line. Edited June 3, 2019 by Coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted June 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) We were allowed to bring alcohol onboard on all of the river cruises in which we have participated. Avalon will have no problem with your bringing alcohol on board - you can even drink it in the common areas. Palinka tastes like rubbing alcohol imho. 😉 Edited June 3, 2019 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
