Celebrity announces a New Alcohol Policy

[sailingrose]

Joey, RCI has the same policy but many have brought wine aboard without any problem. I'd just pack it in my checked luggage.

[JoeyandDavid]

I hear you Rose... But thats not us...We will do without..

[elfed]

Oh Dear, so one cannot bring even a bottle of wine or champagne on board at embarkation? Not good. I woudn't mind if the on board drink prices were reasonable but what I've read they are taking passengers for all they can get. I think this ruling stinks. As far as the ruling effecting the 18-21 year olds-that's O.K. But I'm definately not going to pay their dining room wine prices. 28 dollars for wine that is 12 here. Or 8-12 dollars a glass.No way Jose as the expression goes. Maybe I should stick with Carnival.Now you've wound me up!!!!

Regards,

James.

Has anyone ever used a gift delivery service????

[JoeyandDavid]

no .... do you have a referral?

[JohnG]

I've used Ocean Promotions in FLL at 800-225-5536 for gifting customers in all US, Hawaii, and Seattle/Vancouver. Don't know how these new RCL/CEL policies will affect them. Guess I should call and find out.

[JoeyandDavid]

Thank you John.... Keep us updated if you would on what you may or may not find out!

[JohnG]

Ocean Promotions indicated they are having no problem. Probably because they have to pay the cruiseline a fee to deliver.

[JoeyandDavid]

so what i am hearing you say .." if we want something other than what is availible on ship be prepared to pay Premium Times 3"

[JohnG]

Not at all. The cost of a bottle of Frexneit, for instance, delivered, is from $20-30, depending on the port. Other wines are less.
