If so, it may be due to the stringent limit on what you can bring onboard (e.g., 2 bottles?) and how it doesn’t make a dent in their booze sales. That’s very different than cruise lines with unlimited personal booze allowances. isn't this post on the Carnival board?? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane Hog Posted March 30, 2022 #29 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah, last couple cruises at Galveston they never looked at what was in the bottles. Same at Miami. Didn't bring anything with us out of Long Beach... Next time on RCL I think we'll have to do the "spread out at security" to bring more than 12 water bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviela Posted March 31, 2022 #30 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I read the policy, and a bottle of wine is just that. If it says wine on the label, it is wine. Prohibited Items: Wine or champagne beyond the allowable limit of one 750 ml bottle per adult (21 years of age or older) So each adult can bring one 750ml bottle. Carnival is more civilized. You can pour in your room, and carry anywhere. No silly different glass rules. I prefer to carry my glass to the MDR so my wine has been properly cooled, decanted, and poured. There is no corkage fee for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answered the questions about the “wine” cocktail (supposedly with Tequila in it) and eventually forgot that it wasn’t in the “Ask A Cruise Question” forum. Since folks here are saying the Carnival personal wine limit is only one bottle per person, it’s understandable that they could care less where you drink it. Am I correct in assuming that any personal spirits are also limited? In any case, should you decide to try a cruise line that doesn’t limit personal booze, do be aware that there will be limits on where it can be consumed.

Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted March 31, 2022 #34 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yes, they sell a unlimited soda card, and most cruisers get a free 1.5 liter bottled water. You can pre-order a 12 pack of bottled water for 4.95 and it will be waiting in your cabin. You can purchase 1liter bottles of booze for around 75-100 each to enjoy in your cabin.

Lane Hog Posted March 31, 2022 #35 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) No bottles (including water) allowed, but Carnival has always allowed a 12 pack of canned soda or water per person. They have to be carried on vs. checked, which makes it interesting for some of the larger families who play that card to the max. (perhaps off topic for this forum, but to clarify an earlier post about spreading out my water bottles.... RCL allows either bottled water or cans up to 12 pack per cabin vs. per guest... ) Edited March 31, 2022 by Lane Hog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe817 Posted May 6, 2022 #41 Share Posted May 6, 2022 We've already decided that we are going to take it aboard when we sail Sept. 23 on the Vista. We don't mind being a "test case".

She checked and it was allowed. (it wasn’t funny at the time. I splurged on a nice bottle and wasn’t going to leave it behind easily).

wikoffclan Posted May 7, 2022 #45 Share Posted May 7, 2022 DH is a Manhattan drinker. Order a bottle of Seagrams for delivery onboard and carry on a Martini and Rossi Sweet Vermouth as second "wine" bottle. Have not yet been stopped at the "naughty" table at the port (New Orleans and Galveston). "Wine" is apparently open to discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are to frugal to fly to remote destinations 3.) We drive to the port. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimm9 Posted May 23, 2022 Author #49 Share Posted May 23, 2022 ***Update: I could not bring it. They said because it was a cocktail wine that it wasn’t allowed.
