Idislikeusernames Posted December 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My Husband and I don't drink wine and were wondering if we are able to bring a small bottle of Vodka on board in lieu of wine? Is there any accommodation for those who do not drink wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolin Posted December 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2013 But you can buy a bottle of Vodka from Bon Voyage and have it in your cabin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idislikeusernames Posted December 18, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thanks for the info but 65.00 for a 14.00 bottle of vodka is too much for the amount I will drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENDRICKSFAN01 Posted December 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Google rum runner travel flask or look on Amazon. Look at my pic. The bags us the back are them with 750ml of vodka each. Oh and to all those who will certainly post how bad I am for smuggling. I already know. Bwaahhahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted December 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Since you are a light drinker, buying drinks at the bar shouldn't be a big expense for you. Also, there is a big markup on bottles from Bon Voyage, but if you like your drinks weak, there are about 33 oz per liter bottle. So, technically you could get 33 drinks out of 1 bottle. Drinks at the bar will run about $6-8 plus 15% gratuity on each drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoorewiz Posted December 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I 2nd Rum Runners, I use them every cruise. I end up buying a lot of drinks, getting free drinks from the casino as well as drinking what I brought on. Basically I am an alcoholic it seems.

cruise_gal21 Posted December 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This is our preferred method :D A little more work, but worth it. Only we buy the shrink wrap seals and completely seal them back. DD takes one with liquor and I take a wine. DD and I still contribute to the cruiseline with beer and non-alcoholic beverage purchases. To each their own :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YubaSutter Posted December 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Buy a rumrunner and put the vodka in it. Place the the rumrunner in a cargo pocket of a pair of pants and put it in your checked bag. Enjoy the $14/liter vodka during the cruise. Works every time.

Sent from my iPhone 5C using Forums mobile app. It's fun to eat popcorn while reading the mayhem between the pro alcohol smuggling group and the folks who tow the line and do not smuggle alcohol on the ship. :D To answer the OP's question, no you cannot bring on vodka in place of wine. You have to decide if it is worth the risk of being caught and having your vodka confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODA 564 Posted December 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 19, 2013 My Husband and I don't drink wine and were wondering if we are able to bring a small bottle of Vodka on board in lieu of wine? Is there any accommodation for those who do not drink wine? We accidentally took multiple mini-bottles and a pint bottle on our last cruise. In a checked bag. We figured the worse that could happen would be confiscation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idislikeusernames Posted December 19, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks for all the replies, just think it is a shame they are so specific. To me it would make more sense to say you are allowed 1L of alcohol per person rather then make it specific by saying only wine. We get migraines with wine and don't want one during our holiday. O well. Won't ruin my holiday to have no alcohol. ONLY 15 MORE DAYS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol sales are their number 1 money maker, if they let everybody bring on alcohol they would in turn raise the price to cruise. GO MIZZOU!!!!!!!

HENDRICKSFAN01 Posted December 20, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 20, 2013 At least carnival allows that and some non-alcoholic drinks. Most lines don't allow anything. Even though I smuggle they get my money in gifts, casino, or excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rccranbob Posted December 20, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I took a cruise Thanksgiving week, I had 2 rum runners in checked luggage, also carried on 2 12 packs of coke and one 12 pack of water along with 2 bottles of wine. Also while in Nassau I purchased a bottle of Bacardi pints and put it in the pocket of my cargo pants with no problem. And yes I did have a $200.00 bar tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENDRICKSFAN01 Posted December 20, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 20, 2013 All that and a bar tab wow. :p must have been a good time, well if you remembered it, lol. I bring a lot of SOA (smuggled on alcohol) back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl25th Posted December 20, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We are going on our 6th cruise next month and we have always "smugged" a fifth with us....about two weeks before we cruise I go to our local party store and ask him to order me the fifth in a plastic travel bottle and put it in a gallon size freezer zip lock baggie and put it in the middle of my checked bag and it has always made it to the room.....I always figure the worst that can happen is they confiscate it.....it's not like they make you walk the plank...LOL :D Good luck and a have a great holiday!
