Taking Drink On Board

Can anyone tell me Thomsons current policy regarding taking drinks on board for 'in cabin' consumption?

I know this seems to change very frequently.

Thanks.

I too am interested in this for dream, anyone who has just come back could you possibly confirm?

I was on Dream 23rd Feb to 9th March and there was no problem taking any drinks on board although our bags were usually scanned as we returned to the ship.

You could buy alcohol from the Duty Free shop and the first evening there was an extra discount (Vodka was less than £8).

We bought small bottles of rum on excursions and there was no problem bringing them on ship. Also bought coke and lemonade to drink in our cabins.

We have just returned from Dream and had no problems taking drinks on board for the cabin either.

Thanks everyone - hope they are as relaxed about taking bottles on board in the Med (Majesty).

Well, I´ll know for sure tomorrow!

Thanks both :)

Which "dream" ship are you referring to? Because I was on carnival dream & if you buy it in port they hold onto it until the night before you debark ?

I am sorry but I will have to disagree - the policy does not change frequently - there was a short term (one or two week) trial about year ago and nothing since and nothing before - the trial was only on the Dream.

It may appear to change frequently because once a month someone creates a new thread about the subject !! :)

The more the subject is brought up then the greater any chance of a policy change could be reviewed. :eek:

Have a great time on the Majesty.

I don't know if you will pick this up before you board...

You can take what you want on Majesty:)

There will be no duty free on offer on your cruise as it only sails within the EU:(

Thanks Joe - a bottle of Brandy will be going in my bag.

Yes, I was aware that there would be no Duty Free sales. If anyone wants to buy alcohol before boarding there is an ADESA sales point as you come through baggage reclaim at Malaga Airport (Duty Paid but still considerably cheaper than UK high street or airport prices).

Have a great time, Campolady :)

Thanks for information related to ADESA point at airport, hope to use that. Getting excited, campolady, just set alarm clock for 3.15.am! Not looking forward to that bit!

Have a lovely cruise on Majesty campolady :)

At least you have packed - I am just thinking about it!!!

Don' t envy you the 3.15 alarm call! We are leaving home at 9.15 a.m. and booking into a Malaga long stay car park at 10.15 so not a too early start. I see that you are flying from Manchester which used to be our local airport - where do you live?

Weather atrocious today - 24 hours ahead of forecast - so, hopefully tomorrow will be fine and looking very nice for then onwards.

Really getting excited now. Hope we bump in to you Jay Mac.

Thanks for your good wishes Barnowl and Little Nell - with Hubbys health being so poor every time we book a holiday we wonder if it will be our last together so each one is very special (which is why I tend to get OTT with excitement). At the moment he looks wonderful (looking at him you wouldn' t think there was a thing wrong with him) so, fingers crossed, this will be a wonderful week.

Oops!!! That should read Aldeasa NOT Adesa!

I hope it is a wonderful week for you both :)

Have a great time all

Bye, have a great time.:D

Have a great time. Although the Majesty is not the perfect ship, I have had some wonderful holidays on her. :)
