TSM AND JP Posted October 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I know that when boarding the ship during embarkation, each passenger is allowed to bring 1 bottle of wine on board without paying corkage. However, I was wondering when visiting ports during the cruise, are we allowed to bring on 1 bottle purchased from that port for consumption in our cabin?

XBGuy Posted October 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Princess' policy sure seems to indicate that you may carry-on only on embarcation. However, there are numerous reports, here on Cruise Critic, of people bringing wine on board after port stops. I have brought wine on board after numerous port stops--most recently, Juneau, AK, last month. I was pleased to find a little store that had some fairly good wines at very reasonable prices. No problem walking on with it. That being said, it would not surprise me at all if the rules are different at different ports. I say go ahead and try it. The worst that can happen is they take it from you when you reboard and store it for you until the night before disembarcation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted October 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2017 In some Caribbean ports, I was able to bring a bottle of wine without being held or charged for corkage. Not sure if it’s the norm or not just being strict. But I do ask the security staff at the gangway before getting off and bring a bottle onboard when told that it’s okay.

TSM AND JP Posted October 17, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I was able to bring a bottle on board from a Caribbean port in 2016, but wondered if that was still an option. Great suggestion to ask security when getting off the ship. I'll be sure to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micahs Grandad Posted October 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We have done it a few times and not had a problem. Nice to try wines that we have not had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
