Embarking Process at POM (Port of Miami)

[OPAL8]

Hello Folks,

I was wondering if the "going thru customs" process while boarding the ship is similar to going thru TSA at the airports. Am I allowed to bring beverages (bottles of wine, soda, etc.) onto the ship or will they make me throw it all away at the gate?

Thanks.

Depends on the ship they may confiscate the alcohol

 

Yes your luggage will be Xrayed & you will have to show your cruise documents before entering the terminal.

You will not have to throw away any sodas or wine

You will go through a metal detector also. I set it off because of a knee replacement so I have to go through a wand scan.

You go through security -- essentially a metal detector -- when you embark; customs applies after your cruise. A "reasonable" amount of soda and water are usually okay; wine depends upon your cruise line (1 bottle per passenger over 21 for Carnival). Good luck!:)

I see from your other posts you are sailing on Oceania

The sodas & bottled water are included so you will have no need to bring those.

You are allowed to bring wine & alcohol for use in your cabin.

If you take the wine to the dining venues a corkage fee is charged

 

Enjoy the cruise
