It possibly will depend on if you have to go through security in CDG. If you buy in MAN you may be able to get it put in a security sealed plastic bag, though even that may not be sufficient. Alternative would be to buy it at CDG.

We disembarked in Feb from Ovation of the Seas. On the cruise, from Sydney, we contracted Covid half way through so were confined to stateroom. On disembarkation day we were collected from our stateroom, taken to the forward elevators, taken down to deck 2 (or was it 3) went ashore from that exit. Told our luggage was a few yards away and the gate is over there. No customs or immigration, we were on the Dock. Our son who was also on board took another 30 minutes to disembark! However, not the best way to disembark.

Just got off Ovation OTS this morning in Sydney. Due to weather, cyclone gabrielle, we lost two ports and had three sea days befor arriving here. I tested positive for Covid on the morning of 1st sea day and was quarantined for rest of trip, normally 5 days. I received medication, premium wifi and room service all complimentary. My wife was tested, negative, and told she could continue to go around the ship, into restaurants but had to take food to eat in stateroom, seems somewhat illogical but there you are. Following day she tested positive and got the same benefits but also quarantined. Fortunately our son was in the next stateroom so was able to bring us the odd beverage and other foodstuffs if we felt like them. He was also able to make use of the Diamond drink vouchers on our seapass cards, which he doesnt have. RCI enquired after our health regularly and couldnt have been more helpful, just wish we hadnt gone down with it at all. Our bags went the night before, at 0830 we were collected from stateroom and taken out through crew exit, picked up our bags at the side of the ship and were told to exit through that gate over there, no immigration or customs. I've never got off a ship so quickly and we were off the ship before my son!

Following as we fly to Sydney on 1st December, where our son lives. Will be on Ovation 4th Feb for an 8 day version of your 1st cruise, then 3 day later will fly back to UK. OH is from Hayle and were in St Ives visiting relatives over last weekend.
