Hi,there! They do have a Laundry abord on Deck 7 midship. You can bring 2 Bottles of Wine for Consumption with you. No hard Liquor they said. If you like to drink your own Wine in a Public Place or a Restaurant they charge you $25.-per Bottle Corkage. Finally you can order Liquore in the Dutyfree, but it will be delivered to your Cabin on the last day of Disembarkation.

After the initial 2 bottles of wine you are allowed to bring onboard at embarkation, are you also allowed to bring a bottle or two aboard that might be purchased at various port stops? When we were on Oceania a year ago, it was great to be able to buy the local wine at each port stop and enjoy a pre-dinner glass in our stateroom each evening.

Hi Hawkeye !

 

I am pretty sure the answer to your question is "Maybe". I am 99.9% certain that you are not allowed to bring alcohol onboard from the Ports. However, we have seen many posts from passengers who said it wasnt a problem at all, and we have seen others tell his the alcohol was taken away, and held until the end of the Cruise for them to take home. I hope that helps a bit.

When we boarded in Santorini last year they were about to take our 2 bottles of wine away when we asked if it made any difference if the wine was bought on an organised X shorex and they said yes and tore up the form they were completing for "impounding" our drink. However I have never seen it stated officially that you can keep a bottle bought on a shorex. In our case had we bought them at a local store we would not have been allowed to keep the wine
