Bringing souvenir drinks/food back on board at European ports

[brookmill18]

Can you only bring food that is packaged? Wondering if it's possible to bring a small amount of local or cheese or something back on board? And I've heard that sometimes they'll allow a bottle of wine back on board and sometimes they keep it until the end of the cruise?

On Voyager 3 weeks ago the ships staff had a drink station set up on the pier before you went through security...they would not even allow you to take those on board.  That being said, if it was in your backpack or bag I'm not sure if it would even rate a second glance on the xray.

I can’t speak to cheese, but for wine, you hand it over, it’s marked with your details, and you pick it up just before you debark. The security booth is where you get back on the ship.

Never had an issue bringing food back on board (even if not sealed).
