Can we buy wine while on port as souvinier? Will it be confiscated?

I'm looking forward to taste some wine in Portugal and Spain. Can I buy a bottle while on port and bring it back to the ship? Will it be confiscated until desembarkation?

 

Thanks and cheers,

Priscila

The ship people will keep the bottles usually until the afternoon of the last day before disembarkation.

Bummer.....hope they will label it properly so it doesnt get mixed up somewhere

They will add your name to the bottles and give you a receipt with your name on it.

Good to know, thanks!

Well that's the rule for sure but their enforcing of it is never that diligent.

 

I've brought booze onboard 3 times, twice unbelievably obvious - in a carrier bag with the name of the alcohol slapped all over it and they just handed it back to me without a word after it had been through the X-ray. 2 of the 3 occasions, it wasn't for drinking onboard but bringing home, so I would not have been bothered if they'd kept it to the end of the cruise.
