B2B wine question

[w&k]

Hi folks-

 

Doing a B2B in a couple weeks, and we are planning to bring 4 bottles of wine for the 2 of us. 

 

According to the FAQ this is fine, but they are supposed to collect the 2nd cruise bottles, and bring them to us.  Does anyone know who/where collects them?  Or are we supposed to go somewhere to turn them in? 

 

Thanks so much for your help!

I have never had anyone collect or hold any of  our bottles.  Just keep all four bottles in your cabin on the first cruise.  They do all have to be carried on, not put in your checked luggage.

Same here. Maybe they messed up but we have always just kept ours.

Hi 

Don't worry, they might or might not ask to keep your extra bottles. They haven't asked to keep mine lately, either. If they don't allow you to keep your extra two bottles they will show you where to give them in. If they do, they will either deliver them to your cabin on the last night of the first cruise or you will be asked to pick them up.

 

One benefit of the B2B cruises (whether they collect extra bottles or not) is that they give back extras at the end of the first cruise. You can buy more during that cruise and they will give them back after that first cruise. I imagine, that as long as you don't make it look obvious, you are able to bring on whatever you want, either at embarkation day or during the first cruise, and have anything they confiscate available for the second cruise.

 

I have brought 4 bottles of wine, without them confiscating the extra two, and consumed them during that cruise, and purchased additional bottles during that cruise that were available for the next.

You do need to show both boarding passes
