Marga Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 We are taking a cruise from Southampton to the Canaries. As a souvenir we would like to buy a bottle of wine in each port and bring it home with us. We don't want to open them on the ship. What is the allowance for this? And how does it work? If we turn them in somewhere, is that safe or do a lot get lost? Will we pay taxes on them upon arriving back to Southampton? We are from mainland Europe.

ChessE4 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 We bought wine in Canaries on Southampton cruise. They keep it in a secure area until the day before you disembark. We packed for air travel to US and no extra duty. Wife lost suitcase at pier, so now we walk off luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I don't think there is a limit on how many souvenir bottles you can bring on board - just what you can reasonably carry. Though there may be a n immigration thing if the value is over a certain amount but I will hazard a guess that you're not going to spend thousands on a single bottle. When you get back on at each port, you'll turn the bottles over to a little table and they'll package it up with your room number on it to be delivered to your stateroom around dinner time on the last night.
