The website I found, that lists all the cruise lines and their various policies regarding, wine, beer and spirits is:

***************/bonvoyage/before-you-cruise/what-to-know/may-i-bring-alcohol-on-my-cruise-ship

This is good enough for me - and all the other cruisers who have more experience with this, who answered with their advice!

None of those precautions (aside from the wine opener) are really necessary, unless you have to feel as though you're smuggling.

Good to know that Cunard is sensible about this. So I don't need to smuggle, with my heart pounding, as I go through security!! :)

This comes under the "don't ask, don't tell rule". When you come back on to the ship, put your bag on the X-ray belt. The worst that can happen is that they will hold it for you, but on the Cunard cruises I've been on, security didn't say anything and I went on my merry way.

 

The above said, don't bring several bottles at the same time. I only carried one on at a time, but if I were to bring 2 or 3, I would wrap them so they don't "ding" when placed on the X-ray belt.

 

Most of all, don't forget to bring a wine opener in your luggage.

Thanks so much for this info - especially the reminder about a wine opener!!

I feel alot more relaxed about bringing wine on board now. It's nice to know that Cunard is sensible and realistic about this.

Am trying to figure out Cunard's policy regarding wine purchased in ports of call. It said "no restrictions..." Does that actually mean that we can purchase wine in the various towns that we visit and bring it "openly" back on board without them holding it until we disembark. I've sailed other cruise lines and their policy was to hold any purchases until we disembarked. I want to be able to drink it on my balcony on board!! :)
