Unfortunately, the answer is both "yes" and "no." Alcohol policies vary for major cruise lines. They range from no outside alcohol allowed onboard to letting cruisers bring as much alcohol as they choose for a sailing. If this sounds complicated to you, then you are not alone. So, we put together this video covering the alcohol policies for 14 major cruise lines. Plus, we discuss whether you should try to sneak alcohol on a ship and answer common questions about the drinking age and other cruisers' concerns regarding libations onboard cruise ships. In this guide to bringing alcohol on a cruise, we also discuss what types of alcohol can be brought onboard the ship on embarkation day. Plus, we highlight what the cruise lines do to your alcohol purchased at the ports of call. Even when cruise lines allow you to bring alcohol onboard, it is usually limited to bottles of wine and champagne and there might be a corkage fee. These fees are applied even if you don't physically have the staff open the bottle of wine. Further, many cruisers ask about sneaking alcohol onboard a ship. This is not advisable. At best, your contraband will be confiscated from you and returned after the cruise. At worst, you could be barred from boarding the ship. Of note, if your cruise line does allow you to bring alcohol with you, it needs to be in your carry-on luggage.
