NavyVeteran Posted March 26, 2017 #76 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We are elite and will have the AIPB on our cruise in October. If I switch out all my items for a bottle of wine, can I take that bottle to the MDR and give it to a table mate? If it is a bottle from onboard, will there be a corkage fee? There is no corkage in the MDR for a bottle of wine from Princess. You may give the bottle of wine to anyone you want (as long as they are legal drinking age), and there is still no corkage in the MDR for the bottle. If you don't trade out the mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckb104 Posted March 26, 2017 #77 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Oh sorry, I wasn't completely clear there. They sell the 1 Liter bottles of Myers in the duty free shop onboard. AE_Collector Can you buy from the duty-free shop to drink on-board or is that just to take home? 1 liter sounds like a lot. Isn't that a lot bigger than a "normal" size bottle?

It arrives before the end of the first voyage. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And other than if you were doing a B2B how are you proposing it be drank on the ship? Open it up right there in the Duty Free shop? Or maybe downing it the last evening once they have delivered it to your room? Enquiring minds want to know! 1 liter sounds like a lot. Isn't that a lot bigger than a "normal" size bottle? One liter is about 36 ounces give or take. AE_Collector Edited March 26, 2017 by AE_Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted March 26, 2017 #81 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I agree, they have been keeping it through the b2b's at least on ours. Probably due to all the bragging here on CC about ways to beat the system. Most are not on b2b's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sonomaphil Posted March 26, 2017 #82 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That's why you swap for the coffee cards to use on a future cruise when you may not have the AIBP. That will NEVER happen. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE_Collector All I'm saying is that on B2B trips they deliver ordered liquor at the end of the first trip, which can be drank on the second leg. Even if you don't purchase anything of the ship it's easy to just walk past them at the collection desk & take it to your room during the trip. Their collection desk is very lax on collecting liquor. It's almost like you have to force them to take it. (for safe keeping of course). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sometimes, but often they know you are not disembarking and it does not get delivered until the end of the last segment. Even if you purchase it ion the boutique the last day when you are generally allowed to take it with you, if the purchase is made at a ash register inside the boutique it will show you are not disembarking and you cannot take the purchase with you.

Thrak Posted March 27, 2017 #85 Share Posted March 27, 2017 What a bummer they are putting the voyage on the coffee cards now. This is the first time I will be in a suite and can trade for the coffee cards. I already have a partial card so was hoping to save it for fresh brewed on a future cruise!! I have partial cards but never even considered trying to use them for fresh brewed on a future cruise. If I want fresh brewed I use an unmarked card. If my wife then gets it punched the staff all know it started out on that cruise with no punches. I don't need to circumvent the intended parameters of the program.

I haven't run into that problem yet but if I do I'll have another Elite who's leaving make a straw purchase for me if I want it that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
