The Drunken Sailor 9 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 PandO stated that alcaholic drink from ashore would not be allowed except at port of embarkation. Any brought on board would be held over till you disembarked. Has this now started? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mitch 325 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 as far as i know no other cruiseline even lets you bring the initial 1litre at boarding on board.its a total no alcohol except from the bars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my/our experience, P&O has always been the exception in allowing Passengers to bring 'their own supplies' and in the past also 're-supply' en route as such. I/we do not do so many cruises with P&O, simply because Southampton is so very far away. Although last year out of Southampton, I noted we were allowed to bring a Litre of Spirit and similarly a bottle of wine/champagne each. Precious few other cruise lines allow anything more, than a 'carry on' 76cl bottle of wine or champagne each, (if that with some?). So I think it might be a case of being grateful for small mercies when booking P&O. Similarly said, if we want a drink we also go to the bar too, preferably at Happy Hour!!

Oldworldtraveller 2225 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 On Azura out of Barbados recently they were allowing 1 litre of sprits per person at the port of embarkation but at all ports after that people were having the bottles taken from them and stored until the day prior to arrival at Southampton.

Pylon 0 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Depends whether passengers are security scanned by the port or by the ship when returning with achohol bought on shore !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Countrygirl 237 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 On our last cruise with P&O a few months ago we were scanned on the ship even if we had been checked ashore and all alcohol was removed and stored by security. As we only buy our drinks from the bars it is not a problem for us. Davybe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
