Cruise Alcohol Policies: What You Can and Can't Bring Onboard

General Cruise Alcohol Policies

Most cruise lines have strict policies regarding alcohol consumption and possession onboard their ships. In general, guests are not permitted to bring their own beer or hard liquor onboard for consumption or any other purpose. Any alcoholic beverages seized at the gangway will be confiscated and discarded.

Exceptions and Variations

There are some exceptions to these general rules. Some cruise lines allow guests to bring a limited amount of wine onboard from ports of call. However, any other alcoholic beverages purchased during the cruise will be held by the ship's staff until the end of the voyage.

Celebrity Cruises, for example, has a policy that prohibits guests from bringing any beer, spirits, or hard liquor onboard. However, each passenger of legal drinking age is allowed to bring one bottle of wine.

It is important to note that these policies can vary depending on the cruise line and the specific itinerary. Passengers are advised to check with their cruise line directly for the most up-to-date information on alcohol policies.
