AMA Waterways alcohol policy

[Doglovertoo]

Does AMA allow you to bring on wine or alcohol that you’ve purchased off the ship?  We like to be able to have a glass of wine on the balcony. Thanks.

No problem.  Most alcohol is included anyway, so unless you want some kind of local specialty wine,  you could just bring a glass from the bar to your room. 

 

Join us over in the river cruise forum.  Lots of friendly helpful people.

Yep! Nobody checks at all. You can bring whatever you'd like aboard.

We took" an appreciation of wines" cruise with AMA. Before we left Boston for our overnight flight to Amsterdam, DH picked up a bottle of vodka at Duty free. I was concerned about taking that onto the river boat, but once we arrived, a crew member took our luggage, the bottle and marked our room number on it. We were on the boat quite early in the morning, no traditional security, and were told to go to the main lounge to grab something to eat, and take a nap until other passengers have left the boat for their late day flights and rooms would be ready. We did have a light breakfast, caught a few hours sleep and then headed out to do a walking tour in Amsterdam. When we returned in the late afternoon, we checked in at the small lobby desk, picked up our room key and sure enough, the bottle of vodka was on the counter. Given all the free-flowing wine, and samples at the vineyards along the Rhine, no need to purchase wine to carry on.

Thank you for the responses.  That’s very helpful.

We are considering an AMA cruise and wonder if Bailey’s Irish Cream is included on AMA. We’ve cruised with another line several times and were able to get a bottle of Bailey’s for our room.
