NCL Lquid Policy

[coach32]

Just got of the Majesty last week where people carried cases of water and soda on board. Not a problem.

Thank you for the feedback, coach32. Hope you had a great time on the ship. I watched her leave a few days ago, 52 weeks to the day I was last on board.

Hello Boneman and Mary Ann, and welcome to cruise-chat.

I must say, this is a bit confusing. I went to the NCL Web site for the official word (click HERE), and was met with a possibly misplaced comma -- "(no) intoxicating liquors, or beverages, firearms..." (Doesn't anyone proofread these things?) So should that be: no intoxicating liquors (pause), or (any) beverages, firearms... OR no intoxicating liquors or beverages, firearms, etc.

I also believe the comma is misplaced, but the addition of the word "OR" makes their intent more obvious. The way I believe it shoud read is

"No intoxicating liquors or beverages, firearms, etc." OR
"No intoxicating liquors or intoxicating beverages, firearms, etc."

Subsitiuting my own words, and keeping it simple,
"No 'booze' or 'beer', firearms, etc."

If they meant "any beverages" the word "OR" isn't needed. In that were the case it should read,
"No intoxicating liquors, beverages, firearms, etc.

Anyways, what they are enforcing onboard the ships is, "No 'booze' or 'beer', firearms, etc."

We just returned from the Norwegian Sun - an absolutely fantastic Alaskan cruise. We got the tip from this cruse-chat to order a bar set-up ahead of time so that took care of the alcoholic beverages. We took a small amount of soda for mix with us, bought some from the bars (it came to $2.0l per can with all costs added in) and sometimes, if it was convenient we picked up a little while in port. We drank the water onboard and it was just fine.

We are going on the Pearl in January. I am assuming that REd Bull is very expensive on the ship assuming that they have it at all. Based on prior posts since it isn't liquor, I am assuming we can bring it with us and keep in our room. Thoughts?

[LisaP]

Shouldn't be a problem, SEM001. I'd suggest carrying it onboard rather than putting it in your checked luggage. The cans might be mistaken for something else if they are in your checked luggage, delaying the bags' delivery.

And, welcome to cruise-chat!

we just cruised to Alaska on NCL and put one bottle of wine in each bag. we got busted for one of them. We could have paid $15 corkage and kept the bottle. We decided not to and they gave it back to us the night before docking in Vancouver.

Hi amartyn, and welcome to cruise-chat!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's always great to hear first-hand from very recent cruisers.
