can you buy alcohol bottles on royal caribbean

[NoraLynn]

Based on information from cruise passenger discussions, it is possible to purchase sealed bottles of alcohol, such as liquor, on Royal Caribbean ships. These purchases are typically made at the duty-free shops available on board.

However, there is a significant policy regarding these sales that guests should be aware of. The purchase of these bottles is for off-ship consumption only. Standard procedure for the cruise line is to hold any purchased bottles on the guest's behalf for the duration of the voyage. The alcohol is then delivered to the passenger's stateroom on the final evening of the cruise to be taken ashore. This policy is designed to control the consumption of personal alcohol in staterooms and public venues, and it also applies to any alcohol that guests purchase while in a port of call and bring back onto the ship.
