Alcohol purchase in port

[zeberdee]

Hi,

hopefully a quick question!

Has anyone purchased alcohol ashore in a port the day before disembarking?

 

Next May we are due to visit Split in Croatia the day before we disembark, so will they still take the alcohol away , if so when do they return it as we leave the ship early next morning?

Thank you for any info.

Since it's the last day they may let you keep it, otherwise you'll get it back that night.

I thought European ports didn't confiscate liquor.  But do pick up a few bottles of Dingac wine and Biska brandy, even if they hold them.

In reference to alcohol they may or may not hold it until either the last night or last day if your voyage. On a seven day sailing from Venice years ago the Security Officers allowed me to take the alcohol I purchased back to my cabin but were more interested in the numerous bottles of olive oil that was purchased from a winery.

Many thanks for the quick replies.
