CRUISERMOMX3 Posted January 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Another stupid question, but as a first time solo cruiser, I'm wondering if I have to pay double for my phantom cabin mate, can I take 2 bottles of wine with me. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeduke07 Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nope. Only one per passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted January 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As stated it's one for every adult over 21 in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squierjosh Posted January 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Where are you sailing from? We sailed from Puerto Rico, and there's a liquor store right across the street. We each brought on a bottle of wine, dropped it off in our room, then got off the ship and got another one. They don't keep track of who brings what, just what you're bringing on at that specific moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess, that since we pay DOUBLE we should be allowed that DOUBLE embarkation wine allowance. Very creative. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salvagegirl Posted January 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I am sure it depends on what port and what person is on duty that day. My experience recently has been in new orleans and mobile. All 4 times in new orleans when they xrayed my carry on they have said go to next table for your wine. Hubby has never stopped with me there and they have never questioned me about the second bottle. In mobile recently they xrayed my bag and never said a word about stopping by the table . I could have had anything in those bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slawrence Posted January 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Make friends with people getting on the ship before the security line. Meet up later to exchange wine. Or pre-arrange it on your meet and mingle thread/facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would security know if you are traveling solo? Bags continually go through the scanner. However, I don't do it anymore. With the Cheers program, I no longer find it necessary and ended up leaving the wine I brought on in the cabin at the end of the cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted January 23, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I am sure it depends on what port and what person is on duty that day.

I could have had anything in those bottles. I am not one to break the rules, but this has been my experience too. I do as I am told and go to the table to check my drinks and wine. I have carried on multiple bottles for the people going with me and we do not all meet at the table. I have never had more than allotted, if I had to prove the number was legit, but I had not had any questions about the number I had. Last summer, my friends 17 year old son, who looks 14, got stuck rolling my cooler with a couple of bottles of wine and soda, right past the table where they check. I was checking in another cooler at the time and had handed mine over to the next adult in line with us. My cooler that time was never checked and I see many people leaving the scanners and walking right past the liquor and soft drink table. We leave out of Galveston mostly.

salty dingo Posted January 23, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Practically speaking, if you were to board with a bottle of wine, leave it in your cabin, disembark, obtain a second bottle of wine, and re- board, I doubt anyone would notice. I have never tried this except in San Juan, where they never seemed to care how much alcohol I brought, and there was a liquor store just off the gangway. Just don't bring on two bottles at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISERMOMX3 Posted January 23, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The last 2 cruises I’ve taken haven’t even checked the wine. I went through with 2 bottles for BF and I and no one ever said a word. Carnival Rep never even asked about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
