My daughter had a cold and needed lung treatments it ran $400.00 You have to pay cash and submit it to your personal insurance first, if or what they don't pay you can submit to the travel insurance.

From listening to others on here they tend to check the bags of the under age a little closer. I hav never had a problem. I always take about 6 bottles. Even if they spot it the will give it back at the end even if they don't it was worth a try. in 2004 I took a soft cooler full of beer through the walk in x ray and no one said a word. I put a couple bottles of water on top.

They will not allow you to carry on wine anymore. I brought a bottle for each night in my checked luggage. They charge $12 a bottle to open it and serve it to you. I told our waiter he could charge me every night or I would tip him the money at the end. So I tipped $80. at the end.

"BUT...taking booze into a public area onboard the ship is a big NO-NO...it can have serious consequences"

 

We will be on our 1st cruise shortly and I was wondering how does drinking your own beer at the pool works or anywhere else away from the cabin ? How is that done without breaking the rules and looking tacky? In a way it seems from the above post you can get in trouble for that?

 

Can you perhaps pour your drink into a bigger carry around mug and head to the pool ? I have no idea what's the etiquette in this regard or how the smugglers do it. Please dont flame me for asking this. I am just curious and its better to know the "how to" and the "don'ts" before we leave.

 

Thank you kindly.

I took a case of beer in my soft cooler put it right through the x ray machine. I have a small soft cooler looks like a bag. I put ice in it take it to the pool and open it pop the top of my beer and pull it out and drink it. I don't make it obvious. But it dosen't look tacky at all. I took bud light and it was served on the ship. I even put it back in the bag on ice to keep it cold. No one knows if I bought it on the ship. If you have a drink you can make it in your room or take it in a can of pop. I don't mind spending $8.00 for a drink but I don't think it hurts to make a few of your own.

I have put booze in my checked luggage. I bubble wrap it and double seal a meal it. The only thing is it weighs a lot so if it is possible buy it when you land and take the bubble wrap and plastic bags. The airlines only allow 50lbs and that goes fast. I have never had a problem sneaking it in my luggage. If they catch you oh well. I haven't heard to many people with that story. I have a owners suite on Liberty in july and am throwing a party so I hope to take alot of the booze.
