4 cruise lines that let you BYO alcohol
Cruising is often associated with a fruity cocktail on a sunny deck, with perhaps a mini umbrella or two. However, anyone that’s been on a non-all-inclusive cruise, knows that your alcohol costs add up quickly and you can be left with a thin wallet by the time you disembark.
Although most cruise lines have pretty strict policies when it comes to alcohol, here are four that will loosen the noose a little when it comes to their BYO guidelines.
1. P&O Cruises (UK only)
According to Cruise Critic, there is no rules for the amount of alcohol you can bring on your trip. However, P&O does reserve the right to remove alcohol at embarkation if the need arises.
2. Disney Cruise Line
This cruise line will let you bring beer and liquor on board, but the alcohol is only to be consumed in your own cabin.
3. Azmara Club Cruises
Just like Disney, the amount of alcohol you bring is flexible but must be consumed in-cabin. However, passengers can pay a $10 corkage fee for consumption of personal alcohol outside the cabin.
4. Princess Cruises
Princess Cruises in Australia allows passengers to bring on a 750ml bottle of wine or champagne per voyage. Their website says “Additional wine or champagne bottles are welcome, but will incur a $15 corkage fee each, irrespective of where they are intended to be consumed. Liquor, spirits, or beers are not permitted.”
Do you think all cruise lines should follow Disney and Azmara’s lead, or is paying for your drinks at the bar fair? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
