You can buy the allocated allowance as for EU countries - not strictly 'duty free' but usually referred to as such.

Which cruise line are you going on? Many of them will not let you bring booze on board (because they want you to buy their drinks!) and will confiscate it and give it back to you at the end of the cruise. If you want to know more about your cruise, got to

for loads of info.

I am on a Med Cruise with the Island Escape, was just interested as to the allowance in tobacco. Not interested in alcohol as i know it will be taken from me!

You could well find it's cheaper to buy it on arrival
