Bringing wine back in port

This has been discussed before & was in the T & C a few years ago (but who reads them)

Oceania usually overlooks the liquor/wine brought on unless there is a problem with the guest then they can bring out the rule book

All guests had to be over 21 before to buy alcohol onboard that has not changed

I thought in the past the documents referred to three bottle limit ( that was ignored). This is quite different

This is from oceania us ticket contract I found on line dated feb 2017

 

Guests agree that the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be limited to Guests who are 21 years or older and no Guest will attempt to purchase or consume such beverages in violation of this policy under any circumstances, either for themselves or others. Carrier will refuse and prohibit the sale or service of alcoholic beverages to Guests under the age of 21 years. Guests are reminded to consume alcohol in moderation and Carrier reserves the right to refuse the sale of such beverages to any intoxicated or underage Guest. Carrier reserves the right to prohibit and retain all liquor brought aboard the Ship. All liquor purchased ashore must remain in bond until disembarkation.

Can this be true?

If true, I suspect that this could be a deal breaker for many.

Could be the same policy as before with just different wording to better protect themselves from abuse (of alcohol or policy)?

Agree.

Hope someone gets definitive answer. We are in Germany now and will board tauck river cruise in two days. May email my ta and have him inquire. Very strange

Yep, I hope that is just legalize to protect themselves. Their competitors seem to allow carryon liquor.

We were last onboard Riviera this past Easter (2017). We brought aboard a half dozen wines at embarkation and bought another four across several different ports, all of which was consumed in the cabin (no fee) or at a specialty restaurant ($25 corkage).

AFAIK nothing has changed and, of course O will have self-protective language in their fine print.

Understood. We spent 34 nights on sirena in march/April and there was no change in policy. But the change in language is curious

Although we all know the personal booze shouldn't be a problem, you should remember that you only represent a rounding error in any cruise line's daily bottom line. Oceania would do just fine without you (or me or any other individual who frequents this forum).

It's only a matter of time before some nimrod (or three) behaves in an ultra- bad way (that is booze related) and that policy will be waved in the faces of folks boarding the ship for the following few months.
