bringing wine: would you stop sailing HAL if you could not bring your own?

[CtheW0rld]

so many place such importantance on this...

[maxout]

Would I like it if they did so? No. Is it a "deal breaker"? Not at all.

[Wakepatrol]

Leave HAL and go where? To one of the other popular lines

Ie Carnival,NCL, Celebrity,Princess

 

Where you can only bring a bottle or two?

 

Poll makes no Sense.

It's not going to prevent my DH and I from sailing on HAL--however, if we did feel strongly about it we can sail on Princess where I brought 6 bottles of wine in our carryon on our last cruise with no problems.

[rucrazy]

I voted no.....

We do not cruise to drink wine .. we drink wine to enhance our cruise

[1of4]

Idon't drink wine or alcohol so it would't matter at all to me. Dh doesn't bother to bring anything onboard, we just go to the bar and he orders his drinks while I sip club soda.

[kakalina]

I rarely drink wine and DH not at all. Wouldn't bother us. Now if they stopped allowing us to bring soda onboard . . .

[kazu]

It would have been nice to see the results - did you make it a secret??:rolleyes:

 

In any case - for what my two cents are worth (two cents), we enjoy our wine in our cabin and part of the reason we do the cabin we do.

 

So, if HAL stopped it we would have to re-examine everything to determine what works for us. I'm sure many others would do the same:p;)

 

doesn't mean we wouldn't sail HAL - just means we would be doing some evaluating and comparison shopping - not sold on Oceania yet as you can't get a hot breakfast on room service unless you are in a suite (sorry HawaiiDan)

[mr green]

Just why would anyone try to tell HAL what they could do, to make more money and annoy cruisers?

Or did HAL tell the OP to do just that?

Maybe if they stopped allowing it the prices would be better.

Results are visible to me, did you vote? (may be a requirement)

I would be very sorry to see the wine privilege with drawn even though we buy a bottle every night from the admirals list. We do bring several bottles of bubbly with us. It is interesting to see the source of this question, as he has had nothing good to ever say about HAL and that in fact he would never cruise on them again. I am not a cheer leader and certainly many of the changes in crew numbers and responsibilities is very concerning I still feel HAL is an excellent line and look forward to many future cruises with them.

ok. if you say so... (cheerleader is one word, btw)

 

and for the record, i've had many good things to say about hal. just not lately - they haven't deserved it. if posters who call it as they see it are so distressing to you, i suggest you block my posts.

[earl_m]

It would make no differences to us!!

[Krazy Kruizers]

We don't drink enough wine to warrant bringing onto the ship.

Even if we did drink a lot of wine -- we still would not bring on any bottles onto the ship.

JMO -- but I think that HAL should limit the number of bottles that people bring onto the ship -- 1 per person.

[Typhoon1]

Most other lines do not allow this privilege. If you leave HAL for another line, you still won't be able to bring wine aboard.

[alexspepa]

so this is a good segue into my question:

 

where in Rome do i buy my take-aboard wine for the TA cruise we are taking in October?...never been to Rome. staying in Trastevere.

 

thanks,,,

Your area has plenty of places to buy wine - no worries:D:D If you have never been - I do hope you are going to stay a couple of days (at least) precruise? this is a city that you can explore or days.

 

Have a great time :D:D

[Randyk47]

Since we fly in the day before I guess we could find a place say in Ft Lauderdale to stock up but quite frankly I've always considered that a pain in the backside. It's not that we don't like or order wine on a cruise but four or five bottles just isn't worth it to us. Yes, I understand we could probably buy as good or better wine on shore for a lot less than we'll pay on the cruise.

Am I the only one who thought the poll closing in 2015 is just a little too out there? 2015! Just short of 3 years???

 

Gotta wonder just how far down this thread will be when the poll closes.

[sail7seas]

It means nothing to us HAL permits guests to bring wine, soda and/or water aboard. We never bring any of that with the exception of one time we received a gift of wine at a precruise hotel and we brought it aboard as we didn't drink it before we left the hotel. We ended up leaving it on the ship. :o

 

We enjoy wine with our dinner and are always able to find a bottle on the wine list to order.

 

I'm actually surprised HAL still permits guests to bring those beverages but I am sure they know what they are doing.

Didn't notice that. That's too funny:D. Hey, let's make this a sticky:p;).

No you're not the only one;) I was trying to figure that one out myself - but what the hey - maybe if enough people keep on voting this thread will be here on the front page for at least 2 days:confused::D Three years from now it will take a search engine to find it!

[DizzyDallasDi]

Wouldn't bother me in the least.
