Sure....they don't want people going to the restaurant with their own alcohol which is understandable.....but never have they confiscated bottles on the door. I don't know what food poisoning has got to do with alcohol being taken from us. I made the point because many hotels state quite clearly that you are not allowed anything (including a bottle of drink, even soft ones) for consumption on their premises (it's quite topical, if you don't believe me ask Mr Google). I did not say they search you, that is what you have decided I was saying. No doubt many do take a bottle with them, most likely from duty free, but I am merely pointing out that it is becoming more widespread to state nothing other than food and drink provided or purchased on site. There's also the fact a hotel doesnt scan you on check in and relies on trust whereas the cruise line does the opposite. As for wanting to sell drinks packages that's really a very old argument that bears little relevance to not allowing anything other than a litre of wine or a bottle of champagne to be brought onboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
