Bruin Steve Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 After 22 Royal Caribbean cruises, I should know this...but I don't. I've never brought a botte of anything onboard with me at embarkation. I'm Diamond Plus, so they give us five free drinks a day each, they send a free bottle of wine to our cabin and they stock the cabin with several free bottles of water (used to incude Coke as well, but they stopped that)...so it's never really been an issue... BUT...say I was going to bring on a couple of bottles of wine...or some extra water bottles (my wife abhors tap water)... The question is...How does one bring it on? Can you pack it in your luggage (or does that trigger something where they tag your luggage and send it to the naughty room...because it may be a tequila bottle shaped like a wine bottle...) and check it? Or do you have to carry it on with you? Is it different for plastic water bottles as opposed to wine bottles? You can bring on two bottles of wine, right? Is that per person or per cabin? Does it have to be ordinary red or white or rose wine...or are dessert wines okay? Cognac? Brandy? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 One bottle of wine per person...we always haul it in our carry-on bags during embarkation...easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instaGator Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Here is the chapter and verse: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/food-drink-onboard-policy It is best to carry beverages on with you. If you put them into your "checked" bags, then your bags may go the "naughty room" and delivery of the offending bag to your stateroom would be delayed.

deep1 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 You're good to go with a couple bottles (1 each adult) of regular strength wine or champagne but cognac, brandy or other high test is verbotten. You are allowed to bring on I believe 12 units of soda in 16.9 oz bottles. Possible that number is per person but I don't honestly know. These items are to be carried in carry on bags. A 12 pack of soda and couple bottles can and does get heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if I wanted to carry on two bottles, I have a bag that's WAY more appropriate: And, you know, I've had a couple of these for years and never used them to bring wine to a cruise! bobroo and Bob_KY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 My question is a little bit different…. I plan on bringing aboard a bottle of Tropical Oasis liquid vitamins. It’s 32 ounces (a one month supply) and is not sealed. They don’t sell the one I use in a smaller bottle that I could bring sealed. I’m guessing it will be examined by security so I’ll carry it separately and present it during screening. Hopefully it’s considered the same as liquid medicine in original bottles and it won’t be denied because it’s not sealed. It would be a waste of money for me to purchase a new bottle every three weeks just to get it through port security…but if that’s what I gotta do…oh, well. The port is Port Liberty.

teddy Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I brought a quart of maple syrup through security in Cape Liberty. The screener asked about it and I showed him the bottle. I didn’t have to remove the cover to let him verify either the seal or contents. For those who are wondering about why we brought it, it was a gift for friends who live in Miami. They met us at the port when Anthem stopped there and we spent the day with them. BrianB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireclan Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I brought a jar of home-canned bread & butter pickles 16 oz) through Port Liberty as part of a "Maryland " gift for friends who now live in Puerto Rico. It did not cause any issues, and if I remember correctly, I packed it in my checked suitcase. I've also brought on smaller bottles of elderberry syrup (12 oz?) in my carry on without question. teddy and BrianB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
