JimP81 Posted January 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hello! This is my first post and I'm going on my first cruise in less than 60 days! I'm a fancy pants beer drinker and some of my fancy pants beers come in 750ml bottles. I see I can bring on a bottle of wine or champagne specifically but if I try to bring on a similar size bottle of beer am I breaking any rules? Will anyone check it thoroughly to make sure it's wine? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovet Posted January 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2019 You can chance it. If they will not allow it you will have to store it in your car or they will trash it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted January 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Seems like I've seen them looking at the label of my wine. I don't think it'll get through but you can try. Let us know if it works. Edited January 3, 2019 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted January 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would say a 30% chance of getting on board with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in a wine bottle. It comes completely wrapped in plastic, as opposed to topped with foil and a sticker, during the holiday season. If I brought it and they said no, do you think they would let me drink it right there instead of trashing it? It only costs $2.98 at Walmart, but it would really hurt to have to throw it out. I love the stuff alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galveston I bring the wine since you can't buy cheers the first day out of Texas. It seems like they always look closely at my label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobrakev Posted January 3, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would say 100% chance getting it on board. We take wine every cruise. 20+ cruises now. Not once have they taken the bottles out of our carry on bag.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCruze Posted January 4, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yeah it's getting on. They never checked our wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShillyShally Posted January 4, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We were able to do it once successfully on RCCL and once not successfully with RCCL, we did the drink package on our last Carnival cruise and thankfully they actually had some better beer on board than RCCL ever does (I'm an IPA girl and there are NOT a ton of great options on ships lol) but vodka will do when beer doesn't 🙂 I didn't try it on the Carnival cruise but good to know it might be worth chancing again!

Garth2 Posted January 7, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2019 If you're going to try to bring it on board, you should consider whether or not your cabin has a refrigerator, and if so, whether the bottle will fit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket of ice and I doubt if the room stewards care what's in it. Also once opened I don't think it will last long. At least not for me. It is my understanding that all cabins have a mini fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only suites have them on the Ecstasy, Fantasy, Fascination, Imagination, Inspiration, Sensation, and Triumph. The Sunshine has them in all suites and in cabins on decks 3, 5, 10, 11 and 12. The Breeze, Conquest, Dream, Elation, Freedom, Glory, Horizon, Legend, Liberty, Magic, Miracle, Paradise, Pride, Radiance, Spirit, Splendor, Sunrise, Valor, Victory, and Vista have them in all cabins.
