Taking alcohol on board

[L751]

Just wondering, with the limit on what you can take on board. Can you take a box of wine on between the two of you

In theory, it is one litre per person,  but at Southampton no one checks. Your luggage gets scanned, but this is done by port security staff, who are interested in more serious items than a wine box.

Thanks for your reply

How about on a longer cruise, say a world cruise that is also sold in segments?  Can continuing passengers bring on another bottle on "embarkation day."  How about when returning to the ship after a tour of a local winery?

 

Just planning ahead.

I was on a thirty day cruise a few weeks ago and received a voucher which could be taken to the wine shop (once).  “Purchase a litre of wine for in cabin consumption for approx. £12.    “A good duty free price”

Which ship was this please?  Don't remember seeing  any litre bottles of wine  in the wine shop (?), and we certainly didn't get a voucher, although our cruise was only 24 nights.
