It finally happened...ooops!.

[sheilb4]

Just got back from a 4nt on the Inspiration out of Tampa.....packed 2 bottles of champagne and my little travel iron....

They took my iron and one bottle of bubbly...left me the other (thank you)

and returned both on last night.....

Yup....they are truly all clamping down now. My first experience....so beware out there cos' noone is "immune" :o

Thanks for the update on this;)

Not a problem for anyone here. No one on CC smuggles booze on Carnival ships.

Indeed, indeed, I know that of course, just thought I should make a joke for the carnival employee reading this....:p hmmmmmm......

My thoughts exactly, Michael. :D

Yikes! I would be more concerned about the travel iron.

[golfadj]

wonder how many employees it takes to watch us?

[CRZCRAZY]

Is that anything like a "how many does it take to change a light bulb" thing? :D

The other day someone ask John H. if anyone from Carnival did monitor CC. His response was that he did not know, but maybe someone should.:D

He said that he did not have time too and relied on Host Mach to keep him up to date on the going ons over here.

I've read some of John's e mails that include some from at least one poster from CC who loves to report on liquor smuggling threads. This individual even attaches a link to the thread in his e mails. Just be aware!

Like John Heald personally cares if someone smuggles booze? He does not own Carnival:rolleyes:

:confused: perhaps you meant to post in the "How many cruises" thread? But on another note I am so jealous of your cruise history and future:D

DH and I have already decided that this upcoming cruise will be our last on Carnival. WE can be just as anal as they are. We will find other places to vacation and be free from people going through our luggage, and what our drinking habits are. Restrict us and we will/do restrict you. No wonder your profit shares are slipping. Consumers have wallets that you are trying to get to. Well Carnival, when we board, we will not spend 1 cent extra on anything. Suck it up!

I'm not trying to smuggle anything on board but I'm curious. Are they actually x-raying every piece of luggage, or just spot checking pieces of luggage? I find the travel iron funny because I use to have one that probably only warmed up to the heat of a 100 watt light bulb!!

Sadly, if you fly anywhere...you still have people going through your luggage and restricting items. At least the OP got them back at the end of the cruise, an airline would have dumped them in the trash.:cool:
