jefe317 Posted December 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It's my first time packing wine to bring on the ship. I know all the rules, but what do I need to do to make sure I don't break a bottle? Do I need anything fancy to protect the bottles in my carry-on luggage? Link to post Share on other sites

They are reusable, good for traveling with wine in your checked luggage also and are inexpensive. Link to post Share on other sites

CruisingAlong4Now Posted December 13, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 13, 2019 are you buying the wine at the port or bringing it from home? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm buying wine at the port the day before, so it will just be traveling in my carry-on from cruise terminal check-in to our room. Link to post Share on other sites
Sunshine3601 Posted December 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 13, 2019 No need to buy special package just bubble wrap and tape the bubble wrap. I put in my back pack and never had any problems. I tell security I have 2 bottles of wine and they put thru scanner and never had me unwrap bubble wrap. Have fun cruisin' Link to post Share on other sites
marci22 Posted December 13, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I also use bubble wrap and XL ziplock bag if I am packing for a plane ride. Pack one bottle per suitcase. For carryon I just put in ziplock with clothes around it. Link to post Share on other sites
SRF Posted December 13, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 13, 2019 For carry on, nothing really needed. I have traveled by air with many bottles and never had one break in a carry one. In checked luggage, I wrap them with clothes for some padding. Link to post Share on other sites
cruisegirl1 Posted December 13, 2019 #16 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Recently at the port of Baltimore, they made me take the wine out of the bag it was in, so they could inspect it. That does not happen very often. I am happy they are cautious. m 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gatour Posted December 13, 2019 #17 Share Posted December 13, 2019 In your case, I would just put in the carrryon. I have been doing that for years with no issues. Link to post Share on other sites

If you are going to carry it on, do it the same way you carried it from the store!!!!! And don't drop it Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, our last cruise was a Spring break and they wanted to check the foil to make sure it hadn't been refilled with something stronger than wine. We haven't used the wine diaper as we usually buy on way to the port. However, friends use them and love them. Link to post Share on other sites
njkruzer Posted December 13, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 13, 2019 We used to live in NJ where many restaurants were BYOB so we had some nice cushioned wine bags we used to carry our wine to dinner. We use those in our carry on for the wine. Never a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
CP3o Posted December 13, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Any friends with babies? A diaper or a pullup surrounding bottle and into some sort of plastic bag will "catch" the fluid on off chance break but I find it pretty hard to break a wine bottle and super easy to break a wine glass, fwiw. It just occured to me this might be a "you might be a redneck" sort of thing................ I'm sure fancier options are better. lol.

vacationlover_mn Posted December 14, 2019 #22 Share Posted December 14, 2019 In Europe we did bubble wrap, then a men’s tube sock, and placed them in big ziplock bags 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
LB_NJ Posted December 15, 2019 #23 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have never had a problem on any ship putting wine in a carry-on backpack. Most wine bottles are stronger than you think. If you are really concerned a little bubble wrap and maybe telling the crew there are fragile items in the carry on will do. Just hope you don't get a clumsy person. Link to post Share on other sites
