Putterdude Posted September 27, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They keep it until the afternoon of the day before disembarkation...except sometimes on a b/b where it is brought to your cabin on the afternoon of the day before the end of your first segment. Now naturally when that happens I send it back to the duty free shop.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterCaro Posted September 27, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2010 what if you purchased a bottle in the shop on board,do they keep it till departure There's a difference between bottles of liquor purchased in the onboard duty-free shop (which are held until the day before disembarkation) and bottles purchased through Princess Cellars for enjoying in your cabin throughout the cruise. http://www.princess.com/learn/onboard/gifts_services/cellars_culinarydelights/princess_cellars/index.jsp Caro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted September 27, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2010 The bottles purchased through the duty free shop are liter bottles. The bottles purchased through room service are 375 ML only. But yes, you can purchase through room service for a small bottle, at a pretty hefty price though, I might add. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted September 27, 2010 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2010 How do I get a whole case of wine into a rumrunner? With great difficulty.:D However, you can take a whole case of wine aboard without a problem so you won't have to go to the trouble. But the op question related to spirits and yes the Rum Runner product is a great one, we have used it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the op question related to spirits and yes the Rum Runner product is a great one, we have used it a lot. I have a lightweight wooden box that holds a 1.75L plastic bottle of Vodka. The glass bottles I just wrap, put in a ziplock and place it well in the center of my duffel bags. Never had a problem. But, wine - when you buy a case from Total Wine and place it with your checked stuff, what prevents the bottles from breaking. If liquor bottles will break even in your checked luggage why won't an entire case of wine break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are allowed to take wine, champagne, bottled water and soda on board. No need to hide it in your checked luggage. Total Wine has protective "sleeves" that slip over the bottles to prevent brekage. Just tell them you're going to be taking it on board a cruise ship. Have Total Wine box & tape it up for you, get a luggage tag for it at the pier and send it on board WITH your checked luggage to be delivered to your cabin later, or simpy carry it on yourself! We just carry our on board with us! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbb1 Posted September 27, 2010 #14 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Ok, I can take wine but what about bottles or cans of beer? Can we take these onboard with us? My partner only drinks larger so will maybe have to pay the extortionate prices on board. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet a glass bottle well packed in the center of my luggage will break if dropped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 HappyCruiser Posted September 27, 2010 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Officially beer isn't allowed but many of us carry on a few 6 packs in our carry on luggage with no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznliz Posted September 27, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I've never heard that beer isn't allowed. We often take a 6 pack or buy it in a port. Never been challenged. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOATRUNR Posted September 27, 2010 #20 Share Posted September 27, 2010 We arrive the day before the cruise. I find a store that sells beer we put 3 12pks in our checked bags and it has always made it to the cabin. Keep the beer in the 12 pks. I put cans in one time and I was doing Laundry the following day as one can burst from the handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
