How can you save money on alcohol while on a cruise ship?

In: Cruises

Answer

Take your own or buy some when you get to the ports.

Answer

Many cruise lines are very strict on the ability to bring liquor bought ashore on board. Liquor is generally the #2 revenue source for cruise ships (right behind shore excursions). You can generally bring your own wine and champagne with you, physically check it in with the crew at embarkation, pay a small corkage fee and have the bottles delivered to your stateroom or restaurant on a date/time you specify. Check with the cruise line about their specific policy. Additionally, don't try emptying the water bottles to sneak in Vodka - the cruise lines are on to this, any bottles with broken seals are removed and destroyed if you leave from an American port - due to United States Public Health (USPH) requirements.

Happy Sailing!
