CruisingAgain Posted September 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I know the rule is "one 750ml (or less) wine bottle per person over 21". I would like to bring 4 small bottles (187ml x 4 = 748ml) to keep in the frig. It will take me all week to drink the wine in my cabin so I don't want to make the room steward bring ice every day. Has anyone been successful bringing the smaller bottles in Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted September 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It says one bottle 750mL or less, not any number of bottles that add up to 750mL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFromLA Posted September 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I have brought on these with no issues at the Port of Long Beach multiple times. 4 of these mini bottles equal 1 - 750 ml bottle. YMMV depending on the port and security agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunonfire Posted September 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2022 In Tampa I brought 3 boxes of wine - each box was 500 ml. The total was equivalent to 2 bottles of wine. The reason I bought the boxes was the difference in the weight of the products. The boxes are so much lighter. I wasn’t questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kids-in-2-centuries Posted September 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I started carrying on the 4 pack of small bottles last year. I have taken them through Miami, Mobile, and Port Canaveral. I plan to take them through Port Canaveral again on Saturday. I do that because we fly to port and they are just easy to pack, and I don't have to make any pre-cruise stops. I posted about it so I am going to link you to that post so you can see the pic I added of the wine. It is not my favorite wine, for sure, but it is convenient, and nobody has questioned it. I flatten the box in my suitcase but put it all together again in my carry on when we go through the port check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin - you do exactly what I want to do - pack the small plastic wine bottles in my suitcase for the plane and then carry them on to the ship. Based on the responses here I am going to try it in October. If they won't let me take the 4 bottles I should be able to take 1 of them (less than 750ml). Even one bottle will be less expensive than a glass of wine on the ship so I break even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one bottle will be less expensive than a glass of wine on the ship so I break even. I carried 8 bottles (two 4-packs) through Port Canaveral and on to the Mardi Gras on 9/24/22 zipped up in my carry- on bag and not a single word was said, nobody even opened my bag. This has been my experience every time I do it. I will be carrying the little bottles on again on 10/15 through Miami and onto the Horizon. I usually sail with my husband but occasionally go solo. I've decided that the next time I go solo I'm still going to carry on wine for 2 because they never, ever open my bag or question why I have quantity for two in one bag.

Rare CruzerDeb Posted October 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks for this post! I'm sailing on the Sunrise this Saturday and plan on bring 2 four-paks of these small bottles of wine. Much easier to deal with, that's for sure!
