    Hey Sandy

    This is from the HAL web site:
    Bringing Alcoholic Beverages Onboard
    Except for wine and champagne, alcoholic beverages purchased in the vessel's shops or otherwise brought on the ship cannot be consumed on the ship. Bottles and other containers will be collected for safekeeping and delivered to your stateroom on the last day of the voyage.
    A corkage fee of US$15.00 applies to wine and champagne brought to the restaurants or bars for consumption.
    Room Service offers reduced-price stateroom beverage packages for in-stateroom consumption of alcoholic beverages.
    It does not state that there is any maximun amount that is allowed, so I would assume you can bring more than a bottle or 2 onboard.

    While I have never tried this, I have widely read about people who have brought entire cases of wine on board HAL ships, even had it delivered to their state room for them. Good luck!

    I usually bring 2 bottles of wine on Board. Also I buy a bottle on the first night at the dining room to have with my meals . make sure you wrap it well. you don`t want it breaking in your suitcase.

    There is no reason to pack either wine or champagne in your suitcases.

    You can pack it in your carry-on and take it right on with you at check-in.
