silverado44 Posted June 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Your bottles will pass security and go either to your room or the naughty room. Invest in rum runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted June 2, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2010 They might make it... they might not... it's the gamble you are taking with smuggling.....PERIOD ! Questions are...

happy cruzer Posted June 2, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I would put your chances at 50 per cent. They do xray every bag for security reasons. I think it depends on if they are cracking down at the time and at the port you are cruising from. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 2, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Okay, I have to go there...were you dipping into the vodka early :cool:? You got a few typos in there buddy. LOL Luckily for me there is a rule on CC about mentioning someone's typos ... I know I sure make lots of them. Especially before Iv had my morning coffee. People must think I start drinking early.

It WILL show up as an alcoholic beverage on the security X Ray. Whether they do anything about it or not is a totally different question. It will be properly identified by security. They are not Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optiron Posted June 3, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 3, 2010 rumrunners.com I think that will get you there. I bought some for friends going on Grandeur OS last year and they worked fine. Having said that I don't know that I'm going to bother as Carnival will let me buy 1L bottles from Bon Voyage. Admittedly at very inflated prices,but at least I'll be able to make a drink to suit my taste. My understanding is RCI doesn't offer that option-I may be wrong-don't really care as my Glory cruise was a better deal. :) As I recall there was a code or something on the order of repeat customer or some such that got you a discount- don't remember exactly,but if you search these boards for rumrunners or rumrunners repeat code I'm sure you'll find it.

I have only brought on Baileys because they don't sell that brand through the BV club but another irish cream and I only like Baileys. It's a hassle to smuggle and might not make it. To me I'd rather spend an extra 20 (the bottles are about double what we pay at home) through the BV department and just have it waiting in our room. But we don't drink a whole lot either so we can go either way. Good luck whatever you decide to do. BTW I use bubble wrap around my baileys with a large ziplock and then roll jeans around it, that way if it breaks it's contained (hopefully) in the plastic and soaked mostly up by the jeans.

angelkisses Posted June 3, 2010 #22 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Unless it has changed the discount code is simpley the word REPEAT I had soft drinks in one of my checked bags last month. I was not aware of the new policy that sodas had to be carried on. My bag arrived late to the wrong and inside my suitcase was a letter from Carnival stating that during x-ray it showed to possibly contain a prohibited item and therefore bag was searched but it checked out fine.

ChefSusan Posted June 3, 2010 #23 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You can get rumrunners from Amazon dot com. It's one investment that we can highly recommend. Four cruises straight and we have not experienced any problems smuggling on board sweet tea vodka and bacardi rum. We'll be using them on our next cruise to Alaska. Only smuggling a bottle of Kaluha that we bought on board Glory last month. Figured with the cool weather we'll be experiencing coffee and kaluha will be our daily DOD. Good luch!
