Opened alcohol-end of cruise

[brnsnbrws]

I was just reading on another board that people dump out thier opened alcohol because they can't bring it through customs. Hope we haven't got our room steward in trouble but we have always given our opened alcohol and any left over soda and water to our room stewards. Seems a waste to dump it if someone else can drink it.

I have always given my opened bottles to either my room steward or dining room staff.

I don't recall reading on any .gov site that you can't bring open alcohol in under ICE rules. AFAIK, your only problem will be if you have it in your car.

They dump any leftover booze. Who knows what's in it. Would you drink anything left from a stranger?:eek:

Not talking about room stewards dumping. By the end of the week I don't consider my steward a stranger.

i took mine home...to Canada! didn't have a problem with it in my suit case

I took my leftovers home with me. I told customs I had it. I put it in the very back of my truck and didn't touch it until I got home. No issues.

In the rare instance that we've had any leftover, we've had no problems taking it off the ship & home with us either.

I didn't have any problems on my last cruise. Since I bought most of my drinks on the ship, I had almost a full bottle. Since it was a plastic bottle, I put it in my suitcase wrapped in a pair of slacks. No problems.

If someone can find an actual US Customs regulation about that I'd be very interested. Don't believe much of what you read if it's not on a .gov site about regulations.

We didn't have a problem with it going through customs in NYC last summer. We had it in carry on because we didn't have to fly, so it was clearly visible to the agent.
