This is JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION...but I agree with the first few posters. I believe that purchases onboard, whether it's photos or excursions or supper club or bar bill, should be anticipated as part of one's overall vacation expense. With the exception of bringing onboard those alcohol items which are permitted, ie 750ml wine bottle per guest, I think (once again, it's my humble opinion) that it's tacky and tasteless and cheap to put booze in your luggage and attempt to sneak it onboard.

 

I wonder if potential smugglers would consider it OK to bring cases of beer or wine or bottles of liquor in their luggage to a fine land resort such as the Southhampton Princess or the Wyndham Casa Marina or the Cabo Azul Resort & Spa. I think not.

#1) Should we really start discussing tacky and tasteless things seen on a cruise? LOL :p

#2) It's not prohibited to visit a liquor store and take your purchases to a hotel room. Therefore it is not necessary to smuggle because they don't care how much you drink as long as you aren't disturbing other guests. And, isn't a cruise ship a floating hotel/resort??

Hey Redhawk94,

 

Don't know when you're going to cruise but have you given any thought to downsizing your cabin and with the savings, purchase beer on board? Just a thought.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

Uh, no. Never have felt the need to smuggle on mass quantities of beer, or any beer at all.

 

I'm sure someone has.

I'm in the crowd that doesn't think it okay to ignore the rules you don't like and do as you wish. The rules apply to all of us and you clearly know you are forbidden to bring beer aboard. There is plenty of beer available on the ships, in all the bars. YOu'll have no difficulty getting all you want from bars, lounges and even room service.

 

Your crushed cans in your suitcase could leak all over my suitcase and wreck my things. :( It isn't okay!

 

Isn't it amazing how the first few people to respond to a thread about sneaking alcohol always discourage it?? And even more amazing, sail7seas is ALWAYS posting about just purchasing onboard, not sneaking on, etc.....you'll find him/her on EVERY liquor thread available. :confused:

I just don't understand why the SAME people EVERY time vehemently try to discourage people from taking liquor beer on board. What are you, the cruise police? You're not going to discourage anybody from trying to take liquor onboard. It's pointless to keep trying.

Insinuating that those who take on a bottle or two of alcohol or a case of beer can't afford to buy their own onboard is rediculous. The only reason we can't take anything on board is because the cruise has a monopoly on alcohol and are charging between $5 and $15 for every drink. Yet they allow people to bring on water and soda. It just doesn't make sense. IMHO they should allow passengers up to two bottles or two cases and then it wouldn't be a problem.

I just get tired of reading the same old crap by the same people about not bringing liquor on board. If it bothers you so much why don't you pass by the topic and reply to something else!
