Merion_Mom Posted March 4, 2018 #2501 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Don't understand where you are going? I have never critised anyone for bringing onboard what is allowed and beer was until then.I always get them in the duty free at Barcelona and carry them in the duty free bag. At the top of the elevator there was a board saying no beer which they had just started.I was waived on with the Perrier. No. No, it wasn't. Wait, let me think. Nope. Not allowed. Ever.

Milwaukee Eight Posted March 4, 2018 #2502 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I meant confrontation on here. I don't think they would or should enforce jackets and ties in the Mdr. I think they should enforce the people that come scruffy to the Mdr and a swimsuit in the Dl is a bit much. Or less Agreed. I believe shorts and a few other things are prohibited at dinner but not enforced. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted March 4, 2018 #2503 Share Posted March 4, 2018 He absolutely lied about his beer. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=54249439&highlight=beer#post54249439 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=53387001&highlight=beer#post53387001 Or this post This was still in the terminal at the top of the escalator,they had a RC board saying no beer.He checked the shop carrier bag where i had 6 cans of beer and he pointed to the sign. We just went back downstairs saying we were taking them back to shop then put the cans in a hand case and went back up and walked straight past him and up the gangway to the ship no more checks except card when we got on ship. Sorry Judge Judy i have sinned for the first time in my life. Actually in hindsight i was that thirsty as it was 89f i should have just opened them there and there and drunk them all because i did on our balcony as soon as i got on the ship as it only amounted to 3 pints.

You can stoop to calling me names, it won't bother me. Beer has never been allowed to be carried on the ship. Maybe lying to security about returning them was a first, taking the prohibited item on the ship was not a first as evidenced by your own posts.

Wow. I mean Wow. For someone who claims they drink very little alcohol and almost always has a drink in hand in many pictures of himself and lady, and is now caught smuggling alcohol onboard through their own posts? I just don’t know what to say. I am sure you can cry on Island Lady shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums 6 small cans of beer in an open plastic bag,i always carried them in an open bag at embarkation only because i honestly didn't think they were prohibited and no one ever questioned me until last June so in future it will be a bottle of wine if it is still allowed. I like a drink on holiday. For the last 3 years with MIL dementia i have not been able to drink more than 1 drink at home because we get calls all hours of the day and night to come to tend to her from Paulines brother who lives with his mam and i have to drive with 5 minute's notice.

You may contact the Concierge and they will stock your in room refrigerator as you wish. It will not be FREE. I typically have them stock with a 12 pack. I enjoy a beer in my cabin/balcony. Prices have varied from ship to ship. I track down the crew that is charged with mini bar stock and insure they have a tip. No reason to smuggle alcohol onboard.

In future i might get a bottle of wine or nothing because being D+ we can get free drinks in the DL or CL.

I suppose he could have waited until happy hour and blagged the most expensive drink because its free, or would you class that as stealing.

Thanks i never hide anything because the 6 small cans of San Miguel are always in view and no one has said anything before on embarkation day.

davekathy Posted March 5, 2018 #2522 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Royal would need to make dress codes more than a suggestion before enforcing. If they start forcing people to wear Suits and Ties to MDR or Dinner, they will lose lots of cruisers. Confrontation.... Sent from my iPhone using Forums My magic 8 Ball say's, "don't count on it".

Rare LMaxwell Posted March 5, 2018 #2523 Share Posted March 5, 2018 No. No, it wasn't. Wait, let me think. Nope. Not allowed. Ever. 1998 Cozumel, walked right back on carrying remnants of 6 pack from shore; cheaper than water. I remember my brothers having beer after San Juan in 1991 or 1992. These were also the days though when beer onboard was still much cheaper than land prices, and you could buy liquor in duty free shops and pay a few extra dollars to take it back to your room.

Yep, I remember when I first started sailing Royal being able to to buy liquor in the duty free store onboard and take it back to your cabin for a $25 fee. How things have changed.
