*Update*& Clarification On Shipping Boxes/ Bringing Alcohol

[jdybnsn]

Looks like someone has sort, and got, clarification directly from DCL now about shipping boxes head & bringing alcohol/soft drinks aboard the Disney ships, following all the rumours & unofficial reports from last week.
This appears to be the result, and it looks like good news

"First, a general rule.

There are no restrictions on toiletry items either in carryons or in checked luggage, your shower gel, shampoos, sunscreens and the like are quite safe in either. If you pack them in checked, I do suggest placing them in a resealable plastic bag of some kind to protect from leakage as there is a lot of luggage and it's not handled very delicately to get it onboard in a timely manner.

Carryons:

Carryon rules have not changed. No hardside Igloo-style coolers. NO ICE. A rolling softside cooler bag full of the beverages of your choice is acceptable as long as it can go thru the airport style scanner they use at the entry to the terminal. The small rolling check luggage airlines allow is your guideline on size. Your carry on can contain other foodstuffs, they cannot require any food prep from the kitchen. Just be reasonable on what you bring is a good guideline. Also be aware there are drinks and snacks available for sale in the terminal.

Boxes:

You can ship one box per stateroom, of a size in line with a recordkeeping box, 12 inches on a side is a good guideline, no more than 20 lbs. Full instructions that you are required to follow are in the DIS DCL FAQ post stickied at the top of the forum.

Checked:

This is the biggest change folks. No water/liquor/sodas/other foodstuffs in the checked baggage, either bulk or single items. Yes, that includes no checking cases of beverages with the porters. If you want to bring it, you'll need to bag it up and carry it on yourself per the carryon rules above."

Thanks for the post.

We will be on the Magic in 13 days time and intend to take a

bottle of Champagne to have on our balcony, and a bottle of Vodka

for a pre dinner drink. They sell water bottle packages so will buy that

on board.

Will let you know how the new rules are going when we get back.
