Does Champagne count as 2 bottles we can bring?

[Cindyscruising]

I understand we can now bring on board 2 bottles of wine per cabin. Is Champagne included/allowed as part of this rule?

I would like to bring 1 bottle of Champagne and 1 bottle of wine

[Langley Cruisers]

Reports here have stated this is fine. Enjoy. :)

[cruisegirl1]

Champagne is wine. You can certainly bring it as part of your two bottle allotment. Enjoy

From the website-

 

 

Guests may bring personal wine and champagne onboard only on boarding day, limited to two (2) 750 ml bottles per stateroom.

[papaflamingo]

YES.... ABSOLUTELY. In fact I have brought champaign the last couple of cruises. Great way to celebrate Sailaway, or for Mimosas.

Champagne is wine. Sparkling wine. As a matter of fact, 99% (I made that up! ;)) of what passengers will carry on board IS sparkling wine and NOT Champagne.

 

Anything labeled champagne should be from Champagne, France, and is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée. Most countries signed the treaty that makes this so.

 

Naturally, the U.S. refused to sign the treaty, and it is legal to call sparkling wine made in the U.S. champagne, although it is not. :)

[cb at sea]

Yep...it's only wine!

[Keith1010]

Yes, you will be fine.

bit low.. I say 99.5% ( and FTR I actually prefer CA sparkling wine to Champagne. although I like French Chardonnay waaayyyy better than the overprocessed buttered oak staves of CA)

[dreadpirate3]

Just be cautious when shopping, as I found a few bottles that were over the 750 ml limit.

An Alfa Romeo Formula-1 car that is approved to drive on legal streets-road. The only one. :)

 

Not mine unfortunately. :o

WOW This makes me so happy!!! We have 2 connecting staterooms (2 adults and 2 children). This makes me happy!

Beauty car though. Kind of reminded me of the Allard, from such a small picture. I am a total car lover, as well as cruise lover.

It is two bottles per stateroom. According to the rules, unless there is an adult booked in each cabin, you can only bring two bottles on board. Of course, they don't really check. :)

Kinda off topic, but will "Sparkling Wine" explode in luggage while flying? I have flown with other liquors in the past but nothing with bubbles. :D

I have been afraid that it might, but it never has. (that was in the good old days). Now I just enjoy my D+ amenity of bottle in the cabin. :)

 

When sailing out of a Florida port, it is SO easy to stop at a booze store. ;)

That's my plan. Does have one fault though, I'm a fan of the locally produced wines in Missouri and I can't buy those in Florida! :(

Missouri??? WINE?????? :eek:

[Darkwolfe]

Yep! There's probably 20 or more Vineyards around the state. The wines are primarily Concorde and Vignoles grapes. Missouri isn't alone either. Kansas is doing rather well in this area to.

 

Of course, being locally produced, they're substantially cheaper to buy than California or imported wines. But, that doesn't mean they are cheap in flavor, far from it.

 

My two favorites are the Stone Hill Concorde Red (Missouri) and Holyfield's Vignoles White (Kansas).

 

I'll have some aboard Serenade in February. :)

No, it won't explode. Cargo bays are pressurized and heated.

Whew Thanks :D I actually don't drink wine except on the second formal night when we have the D+ bottle delivered to the DR to share with the family. Just happened to be at a wine tasting and in the cruise mood and bought 3 bottles. :D now trying to figure out what to do with them. New Year's is coming up too so there is a thought. After the next two months I have planned I may need them! Thanks!
