Cocktails anyone?

[Mr. Bill]

Is it permissible to have the makings for a cocktail (gin & tonic) in your luggage or are you require to purchase all alcohol from their bars?



I just found some informatoin in Dave's FAQ that will answer my own question!:





Can I bring my own beer / wine / liquor onboard? Are there any restrictions?

Most cruise lines will not allow you to bring your own alcohol onboard. Disney is a rare exception to that trend. Yes, you may bring unopened items onboard, but you must carry them onboard yourself; do not pack them in your checked luggage.

When considering how much to bring, note that…

1) Liquor is usually much cheaper at the ports of call. You may want to bring only a little bit on and then stock up later.


2) You may not bring any opened containers back into the United States at the conclusion of your cruise.




Since no opened containers can be brought back (meaning I would have to consume all that I took on board) I think I'll simply pay as I go. A Martini (or may two) a day would not break the budget.

I have read you can just put this in your carry-on luggage and bring it directly onto the ship. Enjoy your cruise. - Mike

I admit to doing a bit of a double take when I read gin and tonic described as a cocktail - coming from the UK, I consider a G&T to be a main food group! (and I've always had the fixings with me on our 3 previous cruises!)

Hey gin and tonic is my favorite too!! Go for it. I would put it in my carry on luggage and possibly even disguise it! The drinks on any cruise ship are always exspensive.

Some people don't leave home without their AMEX. I don't leave home without my gin and tonic.

AAHH yes the Gin and Tonic! That is MY favorite drink and now since we got upgraded to a balcony I think I will be bringing some with me just to sit on the deck and chill LOL

Tartan Fan--ROFLMAO..I consider it a main food group as well right up there with fruits and veggies!

Bombay saphire and tonic every night on the veranda yes but I would carry it on in your back pack or carry on as it may get broken in your regular lugage. and also the room stwert will keep your ice bucket full, they have a nice size short glass in cabin too... Have fun

Yes, G & T my favorite drink. Just be careful ordering one from the Hyatt's room service! I drink Bombay Saphire and tonic. When my husband ordered the drinks he ordered exactly that--when they came I took a large drink and to my shock, it was straight Bombay Saphire!!! It was corrected quickly but wow, what a shock to my body. Also, on the ship I ordered Bombay Saphire and tonic and the waitress asked straight up? and I said no, with tonic and ice please. Maybe a lot of people drink Bombay Saphire straight? I prefer with tonic and fresh lime, yummy. Kathy
