I just wanted to close the loop on this in case someone down the line has the same question and finds this thread. I opened a case with NCL a few days ago to get their official answer on this and they said its no problem -- declare the alcohol when you check in for the second cruise and they will hold it until the cruise returns back to Miami.

If I find this to NOT be the case in a couple of weeks I'll return and update this thread.

Trying to work through the logistics of bringing back a couple of bottles of rum from our cruise but I'm not 100% sure how this works so I thought maybe someone could help.

I am taking two cruises back to back on different ships both Norwegian. On the first cruise we are going to visit Cuba and would like to bring back a bottle or two of rum. That doesn't appear to be a problem; we present it when we get back on the ship and its held until we disembark.

On the last night of the cruise (or on the morning of disembarkation) the rum will be returned to us on the first cruise. We disembark the ship and then get back on a different Norwegian cruise ship -- what happens to the bottles of rum? We aren't supposed to bring booze onboard at embarkation but what happens if you have some? Do they just hold it until the end of the cruise or do they pour it out?

Anyone been through a situation like this before?

Do you have a Travel Agent? They may have this info.

It honestly never occurred to me to get a travel agent but now that you mention it it does seem like this is the kind of thing that they do.

Do travel agents generally cover multiple cruise lines? Does anybody have a list of good ones? My concern with using an agent is my concern about how they get paid; it feels like if I involve a third party in the transaction I'm ultimately paying for that -- which I suppose would be worth it if the overall cost was lower or if it was a significant time savings.

My wife and I are luckily in a situation where we can plan to cruise most any time of the year. We just got started cruising last year and it looks like this is going to be something that we are going to look to do many more times.

I have been looking for some sort of database of past cruise deals or a deals calendar that covers all the major cruise lines -- I'm interested in knowing when historically different lines have run their best deals.

It seems like all the major american lines are always running some sort of "deal" which is pretty much the same over and over again (looking at you NCL with your best deal ever emails that is the exact same deal you are always running).

Has anyone found a database that tracks this kind of thing? Ideally I would like to find myself in a situation where I get an alert one morning saying "Cruise Line XYZ is running their once a year best deal ever" and we could book then.

Thanks!
