Wine and soda aboard in Barcelona

[izdgrama]

I haven’t boarded in Barcelona before.  We are going on a 26 day TA in November.  Just wondering if it’s as easy to board with wine and Pepsi as it is everywhere else.  If someone has done it, please let me know if anything is quirky.  Of course, we know to pay the per bottle corkage fee and that a reasonable amount of Pepsi is normally allowed.  Please understand, for my husband there is a *huge* difference between Coke and Pepsi.  I just accept it but cannot explain it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️  Thanks!😎

I believe we are on the same voyage, Nov 12th on the Enchanted?  We have never had an issue carrying on wine in Barcelona.  We have not encountered the "wine table" when boarding.  🍷

No problem. One of our favorite ports.

Only saw the wine table once in 21 days on the Enchanted. Was a random port day too which I wasn’t expecting.

Upon boarding the NCL Jade in 2011 at Barcelona, there was a liquor store after check-in, right at the gangplank.

Many passengers made multiple trips to the liquor store, then onto the ship carrying liquor, wine, and cases of beer. No one was checking anything. 😁

That shop is still there...

Love this port!  We actually brought on 2 bottles each expecting to pay corkage, but nobody even cared.  Some folks had a case and no problem.  This was back in precovid months, so things might have changed.

The liquor store after you pass security is still there. At least as of a month or two ago.
