New Alcohol Policy - How is it playing out at Embarkation?

[drogers1002]

Does anyone know what the draft beer is in the Disney ships? Are there any microbrews?

My buddy was on in Sept and they stepped up their bottle/can selection, they got some Bells two Hearted, Mission, Castaway IPA and the local FL Microbrew (Cigar City)--their Jai Alai is a solid IPA (they have it on board)

It's not. I've had it. It isn't all that.

Too bad, I was thinking it might be a reason to get off the ship in Nassua.

do they still sell Beer by the case onboard? Something like 24 for the price of 20..

i think the inconsistencies at embarkation happen because it's port authority doing the security checks (bag checks, etc) vs DCL.. But at port, it is DCL crew.

We are going 12/31 on dream out of PC- and will just play ignorant. They don't trash it... Just store it, correct?

Well, admittedly this was earlier in the year when they had just gotten really going. Perhaps they've gotten their legs under them now.

They also have Cigar City Invasion, or did today.

We got on the ship in Galveston with 2 six packs of beer and 3 bottles of wine. There were no DCL people at the security check point just the Galveston port security. They didn't seem to give a rats **** or maybe they just weren't clear on the policy they just knew it was limited to beer and wine. My dh and I got separated and I went through alone with all the beer and wine so I was way over the limit. My dh was bummed he didn't just walk on with a case of beer. I think it really depends on the port. I'm sure at PC the alcohol natzi patrol are really on top of things.

Which Fantasy cruise are you on?

We sail Feb. 6th, 7 day cruise. It is mine and my DH first cruise and we are sailing with my best friend and her 3 boys and DH!

I didn't see a single person stopped, nor did I see anybody from DCL to the side waiting to inspect alcohol. I have a feeling this is going to become a "wink and a nod" kind of thing because of the backlash.

I hope not.

I hope not.

why?

why?

Mostly because I like to play by the rules.

nobody's stopping you, what happens to other people should be irrelevant if that's your concern.

Exactly!

well, technically prior, it stated in the documents that coolers were not allowed to be brought onboard but they always let them through until this change.

And it's when people repeatedly don't play by the rules and disregard them, that's when Disney has to step up and make things more stringent and tighter because people think the rules only apply to others and not to them....

If Disney would get control of their CMs and cause rulebreakers to NEVER get away with it, they wouldn't have to "take their ball away" so to speak. The weak link, IMO, with sooo many of the more stringent Disney polices, is the CMs. All they have to do have their CMs follow the rules.
