Rare cruisestitch Posted July 19 #26 Share Posted July 19 Generally, the wine that they give you is not exchangeable for anything on the regular wine list. That’s because they cannot resell it in the dining room or the other bars. It’s only used for the giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway180 Posted July 19 #27 Share Posted July 19 Precisely why we always ask to have it removed from our cabin along with the contents of the mini bar when meet our steward. It is of little value to us. Too old to drink cheap bubbly or wine for that matter cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamfish642 Posted July 21 #28 Share Posted July 21 If you purchase a bottle (s) of wine on a Celebrity excursion during the cruise, will the bottle(s) be confiscated upon boarding until last night of the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just turn them in at security. Yes, last night of the cruise, just as if you'd purchased from onboard "duty free". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases yes but sometimes they miss it. I bought 2 bottles of Baileys in Costa Rica and security didn't say a word. In hindsight should have purchased from ship duty free as price was the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a bottle of wine confiscated. YMMV. You can always try it and the worst that can happen is they will give it back on the last night. Or sail Princess. You can bring it on board. Wine and booze is different. They are more likely to confiscate booze. Edited July 21 by NMTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 21 #32 Share Posted July 21 We did wander aboard with an unusual bottle of Pimiento (an Allspice concoction) one time in the Caribbean. This version was, unusually, creamy and green, and I guess security thought it looked more like some kind of avocado skin lotion than it did a liqueur. Told us just to take it with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve carried wine onboard at port stops on many occasions. It’s never been taken off me. Just waved through by security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted July 23 #34 Share Posted July 23 I have had it taken from me. If you have a drink package it is to their advantage to let you keep it as it saves them money when you drink your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLakeGirl Posted July 23 #36 Share Posted July 23 They don’t always have a table set up where you would drop your wine after coming on board from a shore excursion, but sometimes they do. They are more likely to have one on a typical “ spring break “ Type cruise. Less likely in Europe when they have had shore excursions to wineries. In any case, if you are asked to drop your wine off, they would see on your Seapass card if you have a package or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh so obviously when you go through scanner they don't see card but if told to drop off alcohol at the table they would see it. I remember in Costa Rica I bought 2 one litter bottles of Baileys and wasn't stopped but should have left it with them as I had to drop off in cabin then go martini bar so sometimes it can be inconvenient.

I like folks that know the difference in the two…beer is another category.. You want some beer, some wine or some booze? My neighbor says that all the time..

Cruzinram Posted July 23 #41 Share Posted July 23 If you are on a B2B can you bring on 4 bottles and perhaps 2 would be confiscated at boarding and then retrieved at the beginning of the next voyage? Also we walked right onboard with a bottle of Irish Whiskey purchased in St. Kitts no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
