yst347 Posted October 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2008 You are allowed to carry on one 750ml bottle of wine per person at embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sure, but wouldn't it be easier to put it in a carry-on bag? One less thing go carry in your hands.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socref124 Posted October 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Can you walk on with wine or does it have to be packed? Thanks in advance. We generally take three 1.5 ltr bottles with us in our carry on luggage and nothing has ever been said.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msnyder6706 Posted October 29, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2008 When we went we carried the one per person, including one for each of our 4 kids. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan555 Posted October 29, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 29, 2008 We bought a 1.5 ltr bottle of wine - will they allow us to carry this on in NOLA since there are two adults? Or is it strictly 2 750 ml bottles? I know NOLA can be picky about these things, and we normally don't even try to do anything outside the designated rules - but we bought this large bottle without thinking.

mics pics Posted October 29, 2008 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok, now I've got a question. I brought a bottle of white wine onboard Conquest and ended up not drinking it because I didn't have any way of chilling it. I know I could have brought it into the dining room to enjoy with dinner, but how do you chill it for the first night? I don't really care for red wines, otherwise that sure would solve my dilemma. So, how do you all chill the wine you bring on board? If you take it into the dining room, do you just drink room temp wine the first night? I know my cabin steward saw that bottle of wine every day just sitting there, should I just have asked for another bucket of ice? I just felt like I was imposing. Maybe I need more courage? :o Thanks in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 29, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I do ask the steward for another ice bucket and ice. No problem. I have also taken a bottle to the dining room on the second day. The waiter has it chilling in a stand bucket when I arrive for dinner. I don't finish it the first evening, and he has it ready the next evening.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mics pics Posted October 29, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thank you so much! I love wine with dinner but paying almost $25 for a bottle I can get for $9 at home hurts. At least, it hurts when I spend too much money on photos. :p I appreciate the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocoehonda Posted October 30, 2008 Author #17 Share Posted October 30, 2008 :confused: Now why would you want to hit a sweet little ol' lady on the head? People post a question, then...Some one always has a smarty pants reply. So, I decided to give you a taste how it feels. I have cruised before.I have never brought wine on board. Now, I know how much I can bring and I can walk on with it (not carrying it in my hands as you pointed out earlier). I just find it extremely discouraging and annoying that some people continue to make op's feel stupid for posting questions here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay&me67 Posted October 30, 2008 #18 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In section 8f of your cruise contract, and on page 3 of your cruise documents, the issue of Liquor policy is addressed. Both documents state that "guests (21 years and older) may bring one bottle of wine or champagne per person on board during embarkation at the beginning of the cruise". I have heard much conjecture on the Carnival board about whether that is 750ml, as some have apparently seen somewhere on Carnival's website, or 1.5L a piece. The website is not my contract with Carnival, nor does it replace the information in writing in my cruise documents. Even though both documents can be printed from their website. I will abide with the written documents, that I will have with me at embarkation, stating I can bring one bottle a piece on board. My wife and I will each bring on board a 1.5L bottle of wine at embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was I the only one who saw the humor in the response? :confused: Not to mention, I don't think a threat of violence is a taste of how a 'smarty pants reply' feels. People, keep in mind you can't hear the humor or whatever in someone's voice on these boards so don't take things personally unless the poster actually called you stupid. I'm pretty sure it was just a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocoehonda Posted October 30, 2008 Author #20 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Really, I did not ask the question to get "Humor". I do not think I asked or said anything wrong. I am a nice person and I love to cruise that is why I joined.I am leaving next week on my trip and I needed to ask a question. I tried to joke back with the "Little old lady". I could have ignored her-Should of ignored her(If I found her reply annoying, which I did). Now, Your telling me I said a threat of violence? I was trying to be a annoying smarty pants back. Give me a break. I guess I should no longer post on here.Seems like I can't win for losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry you felt that way, but Cotton has always been very cordial, and I suspect you truly hurt her feelings by your response. It is very hard to put feeling into type written words, and from what I read, she was just trying to be humorous in her response. I am truly sorry that you did not "hear" it that way.

picklebongo Posted October 30, 2008 #24 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would be willing to bet that cotton's feelings were not "truly hurt" by the poster. Come on, this is a message board where strangers are making comments, these are not family and friends for the most part. Most folks take this stuff with a grain of salt.

readboat Posted October 30, 2008 #25 Share Posted October 30, 2008 When you stop in ports can you bring on a bottle from the different ports? We were allowed to do it in the Med this past May. In fact we brought on 3 bottles one time. We never brought a bottle to the table but there were large glasses in the room and my DH would fill it up and take it to dinner. We also brought a travel cork screw to open our own. Our room steward brought us a bucket to chill it and you can also buy caps to put on the bottle so you can lay it down in the fridge.
