| NCL beverage policy

FROM 15 Jul, guests sailing
with Norwegian Cruise Lines will
be prohibited from bringing any
beverages on ships as carry-on or
checked luggage.
The cruise line has made
the change to speed up the
embarkation process, saying
guests who attempt to smuggle
alcoholic beverages on board in
beverage containers slow down
the process.
Liquor, beer and non-alcoholic
drinks such as water, soda and
juices are included in the policy,
but purified or distilled water in
factory-sealed containers for use
with medical devices or for the
reconstitution of infant formula
are exempt, along with wine
bottles for personal consumption.
NCL said the modified policy
will bring it in line with “other
travel industry procedures for
transporting beverages and allow
security personnel to focus on
other screening efforts”.
