Stevie44875 Posted April 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I just read my cruise documents, 18 days away from sailing! I noticed there is a part about their alcohol policy that they recommend you carry it on but if it's in your luggage they will hold your luggage until the ship sails and you must go retrieve your luggage from security. Has anyone had this happen? It's been a few years since I've sailed with Royal but last time I put mine in my luggage and didn't have a problem.

Happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted April 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2016 they do vastly prefer that it be carried on so prepare to have to go schlep your own bags up from security. if it is delivered, then you lucked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other alcohol is still prohibited and if that or wine is brought on in checked luggage there is a high probability it will be held by security until you respond. They will then confiscate any alcohol other than the allowed wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkies Rule Posted April 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I will be sailing on the Oasis in June, solo in the cabin so does that mean I would be entitled to 2 bottles of wine (in my carry-on)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can have two 750 ml bottles of wine per cabin. Occupancy of the cabin doesn't matter. For a solo, it is a plus, for larger occupancy cabins, not so much.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Royal does not charge a corkage fee for the wine you bring on, so you can consume it anywhere on the ship, no extra charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkies Rule Posted April 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thank you for your replies. No corkage fee! Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted April 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Thank you for your replies. No corkage fee! Sounds good. Your cabin steward will provide wine glasses and a corkscrew for in cabin consumption...just ask. Edited April 20, 2016 by Ashland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAGGS Most likely you can carry the 4, but be prepared to have two taken from you. The rule is intended for adults and 18 year olds can't drink. It has been know to happen.

KiwiGal117 Posted April 20, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Unless you switch to have an LDA adult in each cabin on your reservation. Doesn't matter where you actually sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
