Carry-on Wine on longer cruises

[bigeagle12]

We are doing a 14 day cruise.  Are we allowed to carry on 2 bottles of wine each?

[franktown]

No. One bottle each free.  You can carry on more and pay corkage.  That's what we did.

is it a b2b ( back to back ) or a true 14 day cruise?

Our friends did a back to back .. security stopped them .. showed them both sets of boarding passes .. and they let them take them on.

This is a 14 day cruise.  Our friends did a back to back .. security stopped them .. showed them both sets of boarding passes .. and they let them take them on.

Out of curiosity, does each person need to physically carry the bottle on themself? Or can one person put two bottles in their carry-on and just indicate it's for a two-person stateroom?

If it is a true 14-night cruise (not sold also as 7+7), then the limit is 1/pp.  It is 1 btl/pp per physical segment and you can bring on the full quota at the beginning of your logical voyage.

The latter.

Agree no problem on a back to back but it is on a scheduled 14 day cruise.  Go figure.

It depends on the port. Security staff in Europe couldn't care less about how many bottles you have at embarkation.

The ones in LA seem to be the strictest, they need to relax a bit, it's only wine

How about UK specifically?

Which port and what day of the week?

 

You are asking for an answer that isn't possible.  You can take 2 bottles on board in your carry on luggage.  I also have never been challenged bringing wine on board at a port stop.  One person says ok and another no.

Could one break the rule and have 2 cabin mates each bring 2 bottles on board?  Discussed here is some 200 threads!
