From the "Alcohol Policy" paragraph in the latest Cruise Answer Book that you receive with your pre-cruise documents..

"You may bring wine or champagne onboard to celebrate special occasions (limit: one bottle per person)

 

Wow, on Grand Princess there will be 2600 people onboard. I can bring 2600 bottles.

Gosh I am sorry, I will put myself in time out. :p

 

Smokin has an "Actuarial" sense of humor, and once I actually figured out a little more about the Actuaries, I have an opportunity to be affiliated with, in my organization, I realized that it was priceless... :p

 

Hey Smokin, is that as in you are a "Smokin" good Actuary or, does it refer to a "habit", as it were, or both?? :)

 

:cool: Or neither???? That I highly doubt... :rolleyes: Oh no, the roll of the eyes!! :D

Back to the subject at hand, is the contract given to you in your package with the luggage tags etc?

 

Depending on whether or not anything has changed the PC will be in the package you receive, that should include your tags. I say "should" because it seems they are always trying new things to make the process more efficient (read: make the customer print them at home). :)

I took 2 bottles of wine with me and had one "detained" on last CB cruise out of Port Everglades. I rather feebly offered up that it says 1 bottle per person (my son, though a minor, is STILL a person...). But they were having none of it.

 

I didn't think it was worthwhile getting into a shouting match over 1 bottle. While it might be "technically" correct that the Contract doesn't specify a limit, I have a feeling that Princess may be well within their rights to determine a limit, given that the Contract does not say "unlimited" wine and champagne....

 

And I wouldn't want to miss my cruise by standing up for a technicality!

We plan on bringing two boxes of wine this Monday. I know people roll their eyes about the boxes but the black box wine is pretty good. Do you think we will have a problem with this?

It depends on if they catch you or not, or it seems it also will depend which ship you might be sailing on, and if those doing security that day are in a bad mood.

So, the answer is ............................ maybe!

I have yet to see any limit on wine or champangne in writing.

 

Mind you I am not planning on bring a case or cases of wine, but I am going to bring more than two.
