swabs Posted November 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2017 We are taking a 3 week holiday in the spring next year. We plan to buy 2 litres of duty free spirits at our departing airport. During our 4 night stay at a hotel prior to our Celebrity cruise we will probably drink some of the Gin/ Whisky purchased. Please can you tell me what will happen to the remaining Spirits when we board the ship? Also Is it best to pack them in our hand luggage or our big case? NB we have the Classic beverage package so no intention of consuming our Duty Free once on board. I await your replies. Many thanks. Swabs.

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If it is found they will take it from you. Usually they return it on your disembark day. If it is in your big case it could delay your luggage arrival and you will be called to the "naughty room" to open your suitcase and remove the bottles. Perhaps the duty free store sells smaller bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted November 29, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2017 You are allowed to take on board two bottles of wine per cabin on embarkation. That is it. All other spirits will be confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBC29 Posted November 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Never heard of any line accepting spirits that have already been opened so drink whatever you open or it'll probably get tossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Either drink it all or leave it for hotel staff. They'll love you. Not only is it unlikely you'll be able to bring it on the ship, since it's already open, but it's unlikely you'll get it through security going home. No way can you take it in your carry on, and do you really want open bottles of liquor in your checked luggage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEcruzr Posted November 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2017 We had an open bottle in a carry on once. Spent the night before in a hotel. My SIL packed the open bottle the next morning, not thinking. During check in they took it. We did NOT get it back. If you purchase spirits at a port stop, they will give it back to you at the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted November 29, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Also where are you boarding, Miami won't let you through with an open bottle of water never mind spirits. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFLG Posted November 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yup, if they find it and it's been opened they will take it and dump it. If it's unopened they will keep it and return it the last day of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOnymously Posted November 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Bought 2 bottles lemonchillo in Sorrento on a Celebrity tour. Had them in a separate carrier going back on board expecting it to be taken and returned at end of cruise and no one bothered just let us through.

AnOnymously Posted November 30, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Spirits of animals without tails not allowed between certain times, because they do not re-tail spirits after hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
