Can you bring your own alcohol on board a cruise ship?

Answer

You are not supposed to bring your own alcohol on cruise ships, but I have been on 6 cruises with two different cruise lines and have never had my alcohol confiscated. Just put it in your checked luggage. I bring along a collapsable ice chest and tip the room steward at the beginning of the cruise (and at the end) and ask him to keep it filled with ice. Always works for me. Have a great cruise!

Answer

As a general rule, cruise ships do not allow outside alcohol an board. In instances where it is carried-on, it is generally confiscated by port security, held in bond and returned to you at the end of the voyage. If you try to sneak it in your checked luggage, the profile of the bottles is discovered in xray machines and you may have to claim your luggage on board, check the liquor into bond and thusly resulting in delays getting your bags. If you do have wine or champagne confiscated, you can usually make arrangements to have it chilled and brought to your dinner table by the ship's head wine steward for a small corkage fee.

Confiscated bottles are generally available for pick up at a designated location on board the ship on the morning of disembarkation. Open and/or partially consumed bottles are rarely returned as they must be dumped in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration's directives.

Happy Sailing!

Answer

No, they will confiscate it. They took all ours from us when we boarded a cruise out of Miami and told us we would get it back when the cruise was over. Of course we never saw our alcohol again.

Answer

Why not? Just don't put it in your carry-on luggage.
