Good morning!  Thank you so very much for the wonderful live review.  We are so excited for our upcoming trip.  I was wondering if you found that you're able to bring wine and/or a bottle of vodka back from the port and then directly to your room?  We are heading out on the Pride 9/29/23 and have heard that, unlike in the Caribbean, you're able to bring back on the ship and to room instead of having to wait til the end of the cruise to retrieve your alcohol purchases.  Thanks so much!

 

Yes, kind of a strange situation since the website says otherwise but you can bring back alcohol and use it in your stateroom.  There's a big sign as you get on and off the ship that explains this.  Not sure why it's different for Europe but it's pretty cool.  Security will remind you that its only for your room.  Not really sure how they would possibly know as you can put a drink in glass or a bottle and there's no way anyone would know where you got it from or what's in the bottle.  Obviously, if you bring a bottle to dinner, that's a different story but otherwise, I don't see how anyone would really know.
