Bringing on wine at ports

[PSU]

Does Regent allow you to bring on bottles of wine at different ports? We will be visiting wineries in New Zealand and we would be interested in bringing wine back on board. Is there a limit of two bottles?

Thanks.

The answer is yes you can without a problem.

And with no limit....unless, of course, you're trying to bring a full pallet onboard 😂

You can bring your own wines to any of the restaurants and they will serve them to you -- no corkage fees on Regent!

I have done this many times.  If you so desire, Regent will also keep a bottle for you and then make it available in any restaurant or even your suite.  If you are in an upper level suite your butler will take care of this so you do not have to walk around with a bottle under your arm.  They are most accommodating.

We were in Bermuda and went to Goslings to buy Duty Free rum.  The shop said it would be delivered to the ship and then in turn given to us at the end of the cruise.  When we got back on board after our sightseeing the rum was waiting for us in the suite.

Yes, because drinks are included on Regent, there is no reason to limit the alcohol you bring onboard. It saves them money, after all, if you're drinking yours instead of theirs.

Thanks to all.

I can add that we brought a half dozen bottles on board with us in Miami - 3 great 20+ year old Bordeaux and 3 15yr+ Napa wines - the experience with the wine staff on board Explorer was tremendous - they always decanted our wines in the late afternoon and had them ready for us when we arrived at the restaurant - they loved seeing new wines and talking about how they opened them  - and of course enjoyed tasting them with us - some they had heard of but never drank or had even seen - one of the highlights of the cruise for me!

Same thing on our last cruise - they announced at the distillery that we could buy as much rum as we wanted and they'd let us have it when we disembarked.  We told them we were on Regent and they said, "Oh, never mind - you can take it with you if you want."

 

No worries bringing wine or spirits on board (within reason, I expect).
