Hi all

 

as a new member both to the site and to cruising could someone tell me if you areallowed to take wine onboard for use in your cabin and how much are drinks at the bar, ie.. beer, shorts etc..

 

we sail on 30th October on the Transatlantic.

 

Many thanks

Hi Bridmo

 

You can take wine on board for consumption in the cabin. There is a ploicy that they will only stop alcohol being taken on board if you are misbehaving. As for bar prices I can't remember exactly but they are average UK pub prices. A pint of beer was £2.35 and a large glass of house wine £2.45 as far as I recall.

 

I hope that helps.

 

Have a great cruise when it comes.

I always take on a winebox 3l for a 2week cruise, fits in the fridge, we have a balcony cabin and enjoy a glass out there in the late afternoon/early evening.

Thanks for that LibaLass41, we to have a balcony and thought it would be nice to sit there with a drink before going for evening meal but as it's our first time wasn't sure whether it was possible.

 

Many thanks

Ocaeana had 2 bars that we really liked. Magnums and Yacht and Compass.

We enjoyed a pre-pre dinner drink in our cabin and then set off to one of our favourite bars at 8pm.

One thing is....spirits are really cheap by the bottle on board ...Litre Bacardi £11, it's the flippin' mixers they sting you for, I would take some with you, ice & lemon for instance will be provided by your steward..just ask.
