Buying Cigarettes--HELP!

[kbd0627]

Carnival WILL let you take the cigarettes with you to your cabin at the time of purchases, no ifs, ands or BUTTS about it (pun intended) :D :D

 

Happy cruising everyone :)

ok...I am confused:confused: Carnival does or does not let you take the cigs back to your room. Can anyone clear this up for me?

 

We were onj the CCL Liberty in June. We bought 2 cartons for our friend since we don't smoke. They put them in a bag and we took them back to the cabin.

Whew! Thanks guys! Kind of weird that a non smoker would be so concerned about cigs, huh?:p

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's any problem with purchasing cigs on board and taking them to your cabin. I think the problem is disembarking. As I recall, if you're going to disembark with more than 1000 cig's, you have to declare it.

ya just popped in an extra ZERO there, KC :D :D :D (it's actually 200 cigarettes and if I am not mistaken, even though the law is not strictly enforced, unless you really go overboard, you are not allowed to bring in more than 200 cigarettes, period! Anything over 200 is supposed to be confiscated, unlike booze you cannot pay duty/tax on the excess. That is the law as I know it, but I could stand corrected)

You are close Captain. You may only bring back 200 cigarettes that were manufactured in the USA (re-importation). Anything more is to be confiscated. You can bring in more cigarettes if they were manufactured outside of the USA such as Canadian or European brands or even Marlboro if it was hecho en mexico. You will be libel for duty of course.
