Dwright826 Posted October 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sailing with 2 adults. If each of us can bring a 750ml bottle, can we combine the two and bring one 1500ml bottle for the both of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviela Posted October 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The reason is more for how to dispose of the bottle properly, now sometimes they will look the other way, but the rule is one max 750mL bottle per adult. It must also be sealed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsnikel Posted October 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yes. We do it every cruise. We have gone out of multiple ports, and they have never once given us a hard time. In your carry on luggage only (not checked luggage). Make sure you bring a cork screw. Many liquor stores sell an inexpensive travel cork screw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted October 17, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) We cruised Horizon back in August and no one even checked our bottles. We went right through security with our bottles and no one even blinked an eye or questioned it. Edited October 17, 2021 by stobe1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted October 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think everybody told the OP she could bring wine, one 750ml per person, but not sure it was made clear that you cannot combine to make one 1500 one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted October 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yes, you can each bring one 750 ml bottle. No, you can't "share" a 1500 ml bottle. It has to be one smaller bottle per person 21+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted October 17, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sometime yes, sometimes no. Some people have even brought larger box wines. Officially the max size is 750ml, but officially often doesn't mean squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically messaged him (a couple of years ago) and asked if my wife and I could bring a 1.5 liter box of win instead of 2 750ml bottles of wine and he said, no problem. I've done it several times since then and again, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted October 17, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Fair enough. I'm going by the policy on carnival.com. Prohibited Items Wine or champagne beyond the allowable limit of one 750 ml bottle per adult (21 years of age or older) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never intending to try and get something over on Carnival, just trying to save weight and space when packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said he did but the terminal staff didn't bat an eye to our 1.5L box. I simply asked a question, he answered it, and I found his answer to be accurate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
