MSC rules on buying liquor on an island and bringing on board?

[Hunter2]

If you stop at an island and buy rum, etc does MSC take if from you for the rest of the cruise?

Yes. No liquor allowed, they'll confiscate it and return it to you at the end of the cruise.

Official line - no liquor bought in port allowed to be taken to cabin. Unofficial line - we have not had liquor taken from us.

MSC did not take any port liquor from me on my last two cruises with them.  Six bottles in my cabin at one point.

My husband and I were just on the Meraviglia for the 4/9 sailing and purchased rum on Curacao. The rum was taken from us when we re-boarded and delivered to our room the last night of the cruise.

Officially, the rules are that, yes, it will be taken and held until the end of your cruise. 

However, in the onboard real world, it maybe taken or it may not.
