etoilefj Posted May 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi - I'm just wondering if it's going to be a huge hassle if I buy beers at our various stops in Alaska? I know that I can't have it in my stateroom but is there any issue with "checking" it until the cruise is over? Has anyone does anything like this? My husband and I are huge craft beer nerds and I don't want to miss a chance to get some beers I can't find at home. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever said a word about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted May 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Princess randomly sets up an alcohol confiscation table at the gangway at ports of call. Like I said randomly. So don't be upset if they take your alcohol. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyjilly Posted May 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2014 If they take it, they will hold it until the last night of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you stay within the 24 cans/person Canadian resident limit for Canadian customs when you return home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted May 30, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I am not sure if that applies to beer. Correct, usually disposed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkleBee Posted May 30, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2014 my brother brought back wine and and a few bottles of beer from several ports. nobody said anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wehwalt Posted May 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2014 While beer is technically against the rules (no alcohol except the 1 bottle of wine or champagne) I have never known them to make an issue of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R&V Posted May 31, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I to like to pick up a six-pack from visited ports, especially if they are in different countries. Last cruise, June-14, they had set up a table and were reviewing liqueur purchases right after the x-ray machine, We just picked the most crowded gangway and than just walked past the table with the boarding masses and didn't have a problem. I'm sure our room attendant enjoyed the assortment of beers left in our cabin on our departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the security person who is looking at the x-ray screen for dangerous items, there is another person looking at another x-ray screen and this person is dedicated to looking for alcohol purchases (wine, spirits, beer).

Yehootu Posted May 31, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 31, 2014 On our recent Panama Canal transit, I brought usually under 6 beers, aboard from everywhere we stopped. Really like the Bashia from Aruba. I went back and got another 6 pack after they said nothing about the first ones. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnvcanada Posted May 31, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Disposed of usually means that the crew is thanking you silently. We have seen beer taking from people on every cruise we have been on. In Asia the ship ran out of Tiger beer on the ship, we found some off, and we were not allow to keep it. Sat at the Dock and drank two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
