Bring your own wine on board

[jacnapier]

Sailing out of Tampa for the first time. Are there any opportunities for the purchase of wine at the port to bring on board, before entering the ship.:)

Which cruiseline? Many no longer allow you to bring your own on board. Carnival used to allow wine or champagne, up to two bottles, Oceania allows it as does Celebrity. RCI, nada. Lots of good threads on this! Use the search above and type in bringing wine onboard.......Many have more recent info! I sailed with Celebrity last year and they allowed it then! Good luck and Happy Cruising! :eek:

Sailing on Carnival Miracle. My understanding is you can bring it on board but they charge a corking fee.:)

Really aren't any stores close to the port. If arriving at the airport, and taking a cab, you can have the cabbie go over to Kennedy Avenue on the way to the port and stop at Walgreens or Publix. Of course the selection will be limited. There is also a major wine and liquor store on North Dale Mabry in the complex with the Home Depot, also on the way to the port from the airport via Spruce Street, that has literally hundreds of wines. No liquor sales until 11:00am on Sunday in Florida.

 

Beer and wine are sold at drug stores, gas stations and supermarkets in Florida.

 

I don't know what you can or can't take on the ship since we don't carry stuff on.
