Can I Bring Wine on Board

[iancal]

First Carnival cruise. Can I bring a few bottles of grape on board as my carry on.? Is this OK or strickly verbotten. Don't want to put it in a suitcase as I only use a small 21" roller-absolutely no room in that. We have been able to do this on other cruise lines-just wine thought. Thanks

anyone that uses German in a thread about alcohol deserves a quick answer.

 

Yes, you can take a "reasonable" amount of wine/pop/water onboard with you

I took a 3L wine in a box thingy last year and put it in the cabin fridge (on the Carnival Freedom). I'll do the same this year on the Carnival Splendor. No problem whatsoever. They don't want people taking hard liquor however, will confiscate that when you board.

If you will read the info in your Welcome Aboard booklet, or go to Carnival site, you can see that they allow:

 

ONE bottle of wine per person can be brought on board at embarkation only. However, as a solo cruiser, I usually take one in my tote bag and one bubble-wrapped and in ziploc bag, in my luggage. I have also taken a 1.5 litre bottle in luggage.

As stated before, one bottle per person in your carry-on. That wasn't enough for my wife and I for a week so I also put a three bottle wine carrier in my suitcase to keep the good stuff safe.

I thought that technically you weren't allowed to bring it on... though I always have and haven't been stopped yet.

 

I would hide it in your bag, I think they can confiscate it from you.

Carnival explicitly allows one 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne per passenger 21 or older to be brought on at embarkation.
