taking alcohol on board

Sorry if i'ts already been discussed, but can you take your own drink on board ship if leaving from uk port, I cant find anything in the brochure on Thomsons policy.

Yes, Thomson seems to be very reasonable in this respect - I don't think you are restricted in terms of taking alcohol on board - or buying it from the duty free on board (not sure if the duty free isn't open on ex-uk sailings - certainly we've been on some cruises where the duty free doesn't open - does anyone else know for sure?). Of course, I assume they intend you to drink it in your own cabin - not the bars!!!! But they don't seem to operate the draconian policies which I understand some cruise lines adopt - 'confiscating' shore purchases and 'saving' your duty free on board purchases until you disembark!! All credit to Thomson!

Hi Kruzseeka

 

The Duty Free on board can't open when a cruise is wholly within EU. If it goes outside they can.

Ah!, so now we know why they call at Agadir on the Canaries cruises, If they did not there would be no duty free.
