Guests are not allowed to bring water, sodas, and other non-alcoholic beverages onboard that are packaged in glass or plastic bottles. A small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sparkling water, sodas, energy drinks, juice, and milk) packaged in cans or cartons may be brought onboard on embarkation day and must be in the guest’s carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12-ounces or less per person.
Guests are not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages of any kind onboard for consumption, except two bottles of wine or champagne per guests who are adults of drinking age (21-years of age or older). Guests who consume their personal wine or champagne in the dining room will incur a corkage fee per bottle. Personal wine or champagne may not be consumed in any other public area of the ship.
Please remember that luggage will be scanned and alcohol outside the cruise line’s policy will be removed and discarded. Security may inspect containers (water bottles, soda bottles, mouthwash, etc.) and will dispose of containers holding alcohol. RCI is not responsible for any alcoholic beverages removed and discarded by shore-side security staff. Such items are not eligible for a monetary refund or replacement.
Alcoholic beverages purchased duty free from the ship’s gift shop, or at ports of call, will be collected for safekeeping and delivered to the passenger’s stateroom on the last day of the cruise. A member of the ship’s staff will be at the gangway to assist passengers with the storage of their shore-side alcoholic purchases, while the ship’s gift shop staff will assist passengers with shipboard alcoholic purchases.
Guests who are under the permitted drinking age will not have alcohol returned to them. Please note: all guests must comply with TSA guidelines for transporting liquids.
