Rare Denmal Posted September 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2022 We are joining the Regal Princess on 11/6 for a 26 TA Cruise. I want to buy a specific bottle of Gin in Barcelona, Gin Mare. It is a Spanish Gin that I cannot readily get in North Carolina. Will Princess Collect it and keep it for me until we disembark. They have done that in the past at ports of call but I have never tried it a embarkation. Has anyone tried it ? I will carry it on and show them , just do not want them to tell me no and waste my money. We do not stop in any other large spanish ports, so my only choice is barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Chat told me there would be someone there to collect it BUT I would like to know if anyone has done it or know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted September 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2022 You can never tell beforehand if the "wine/liquor police" will be setup at embarkation. Your worst case scenario is that they take the bottle from you and return it to you on the last night of the cruise. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona is one of the few ports where the liquor store is past the security checkpoint so you could buy it there,if available and walk right on to the ship.
