dntw8up Posted December 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi All - Meeting up with family on the Liberty Xmas sailing. I'm not flying, so I'm wondering if I can bring wrapped gifts. Also, among these gifts is a bottle of liquor I give my uncle each year, and perfume for my aunt that doesn't comply with TSA liquid limits. RCCL's fine print suggests both of these items aren't allowed. If confiscated will they definitely be returned at the end of the cruise? Not looking to use either item during the trip, but would want both of them back afterwards. - Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Royal does say that alcohol brought on at initial embarkarkation will not be returned. This could be another rule that is not enforced all the time, but you should be aware of it. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&pnav=5&pnav=2&faqType=faq&faqSubjectId=333&faqSubjectName=Onboard+Policies&faqId=2608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2015 If you aren't FLYING, the gifts can be wrapped...and you CAN bring any liquids you want. If you are flying, you should wait to wrap gifts..but perfume can go into your CHECKED bags, as well as the liquor. You cannot carry liquor on the plane in carry on. The perfume, if it's no bigger the 3.4 oz, can be put into your 1 qt. zip loc bag for carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did RCI extend the ability to bring liquor on board as well as 2 750ml bottles of wine??:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dntw8up Posted December 11, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted December 11, 2015 If you aren't FLYING, the gifts can be wrapped...and you CAN bring any liquids you want. This is confusing as the liquids I want to bring are liquor and perfume, and I know the liquor isn't allowed. I'm just hoping that since it's an Xmas gift it will be returned if it's confiscated. The liquor gift has been a tradition for many years, and won't be consumed on board, but I doubt that matters. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldcity Posted December 11, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Since you have to buy these items anyway, you might just want to consider buying them onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted December 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) If it's expensive booze I wouldn't risk it. The "fine print" suggests you can't take perfume onboard???? Edited December 12, 2015 by bouhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv0828 Posted December 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Maybe a gift card with a note so your uncle can buy the liquor when he gets home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted December 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Maybe a gift card with a note so your uncle can buy the liquor when he gets home? Or, perhaps since you're driving, give him a card and have the wrapped package in the trunk of your car to give him after the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkachu Posted December 12, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 12, 2015 We love cruising at Christmas - we're on Allure this year the 20th-27th. We always bring wrapped gifts and have never had a problem. One year we had a singing Christmas tree for our young son, it was making noise through the box and they asked us to open it - but they let it right through once they saw what it was. I don't have a clue about the alcohol though, as we are not drinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
