What is the alcohol policy for Carnival Elation?

I am 21+ and I want to bring some alcohol on board. Do I have to put it in my luggage or can I carry it with me? Does it have to be only wine/champagne or can I bring hard liquor as well?






Answer :
Ok while the others are right as far as the policy, they don't care. I almost always put a fifth in my luggage. They never check. My last cruise I carried on my bag. I had 5 bottles of Champagne and was looking for a maitre d or someone to turn it in to--no one. They scan your carry on and don't say a word. They are looking for safety violations--guns, bombs, etc. They don't care about liquor.

While I've carried it repeatedly, I've never used it. Drinks are so cheap on Carnival and so much better than just adding vodka to your soda that I buy all of them anyway. On Carnival, a souvenir glass is about $7. For the rest of the cruise if you carry that glass around you get refills for about $5.50. You can get the drink of the day at that discounted price any day. It doesn't have to be Monday's Drink of the Day on Monday. You can get Monday's any day of the week. I budget about $200 for alcohol for a 7 day.

HOWEVER Kevin was wrong about the ports of call. They expect you to bring on liquor there and as soon as you board there is a liquor table. You go and turn in your liquor, sign in with your name and make the box or bag. They return it the last night usually fairly early. So if you want (and when I was 21 I did), you can stay up all night as you sail back into Miami. Take your bottle. Fill up a water bottle with orange juice and buy about 12 sodas before the bars close. Sit out on the deck drinking all night. The Miami skyline with dawn just breaking is gorgeous.






Answer :
According to the carnival website: "Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages onboard. However, guests 21 years of age and older only may bring one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, on board only during embarkation at the beginning of the cruise."

So, no - no hard liquor unless you want to put it in water bottles. It can't be very much alcohol too. And you carry it with you as it will be checked before you board.






Answer :
im not sure about bringing alcohol WITH you, however i do know that you are allowed to buy liquor at the destination ports, and you are allowed to bring it back onto the boat with you


there is a limit on how much you are allowed to bring on board


however, since you can buy booze offshore and bring it one the boat, i see no reason why you wouldn't be allowed to bring alcohol with you when you originally board



remember its not like they check your bags or anything - it ain't no airport- so i would bring it regardless, because you are NOT going to get caught



thats a good idea too, booze on board is expensive






Answer :
What alcohol do you think they won't be carrying on board? Suppose you do bring the alcohol and just for the heck of it, they scan your luggage and find it and then they confiscate it? Because they can and they will.

You're going on a cruise to have a good time. Budget your money so you don't have to buy it. What's the purpose of bringing all your own drinks on board....what's next? Bringing all your meals too?






Answer :
I don't think they allow it, I think carnival only allows water bottles and a few sodas on board with you.
