Retrieving alcohol bought/ food

[mousefan73]

We are soon to set sail on the virtuoso and I’m curious how Msc handles alcohol purchased in port. I assume when going through security they take it from you but my question is how does one get it back? Do they deliver it to your state room the night before or do you have to go somewhere day of disembarkation to pick it up? I’m just concerned if the former will somehow delay us in  catching our train. i’ve been on some cruises we’re getting your alcohol back has been such a PIA it really wasn’t worth it. Long lines etc.

 

Also I read that food is not allowed to bring on board exceptions are basically packaged items. Can anyone confirm that if I am in the UK and I buy a bunch of food products that are in jars, cans packaging  are allowed? I’m planning on hitting up Marks & Spencer’s just to see what cool things they have right now to take back to Germany.  thanks!!

On our last MSC cruise they didn't not take any from Port. Any bought on ship was held though. Super weird.

Please be aware that since Jan’21, you can’t import meats or dairy into the EU from the UK. Sad state of affairs but Brexit….
