No, a couple sharing a stateroom is allowed 2 bottles of wine and 12 sodas. I don’t know if they will carefully enforce that limit, but that is the rule. ”Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages as carry-on items on boarding day. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom.” Edited March 2, 2023 by Starry Eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcg Posted March 2, 2023 #27 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Would be nice if there could be one bottle per person for a seven to eight day cruise, and two bottles for over 12 nights or so. We are going on a 16 night cruise, so an extra bottle would be nice. My sister, sailing solo, had planned to bring two bottles on, but now will only be one. Thank you for the heads up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottles should still be brought via hand luggage/carry on and not in checked luggage. We recommend each guest bring their bottle in their respective carry-on bag for security purposes.

While in line took a drink of one bottle with my meds. Made me throw bottle away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife, son and I have connecting cabins for our upcoming Anthem cruise this month with mine being solo so I could double the points to get us to Diamond. I’m paying for two but now I can’t bring my two bottles on? We were planning on 4. With the alcohol prices on Royal each bottle is worth bringing. I want to see how this is going to get enforced over the next few weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So had planned to take 2 bottles even though we had one adult and one child. That is what we usually do as well, since we always have one adult in each cabin with each child. I wonder when we will get the email on this because if they do not inform guests of the change of policy, I can foresee many people showing up when we cruise in 10 days with 2 bottles for a cabin with one child and one adult registered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longford Posted March 2, 2023 #36 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Just one more bad decision - for passengers. I traveled solo in November 2022 and brought aboard 2 bottles of wine. However, there are ways to circumvent the policy ... which I will not discuss here. 😁 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always. I've found some that were close to equal retail vs. on-board discounted. Not saying all always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just playing devil’s advocate…the amount spent is irrelevant to the allowance. Whether the adult is splitting a super cheap rate on an inside cabin or is massively overpaying for a big suite, the allowance is still one bottle per adult. Four adults sharing a regular stateroom for 12 nights may need those bottles😇 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A discount that used to only be part of the UDP. Now that we are getting a wine discount without having to buy a dining pkg, let's hope they are well stocked on bottles of wine. Might be best to buy what you like early on. 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
