CruiseFun07 Posted September 21, 2006 #26 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If it's clear, just put it in a water bottle. Even if they take it out at screening, they are not going to open it. If it is a caramel color (like rum), but it in a 2 liter coke container and carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbowler Posted September 21, 2006 #27 Share Posted September 21, 2006 When you board ship ,you give your bags to a porter to be taken aboard and delivered to your room. those are checked bags. The bag(s) you keep and take on board are x-rayed when you board. These bags are the ones most likely to have booze removed. Wine is allowed in carry on bags. This said I personally have never had any drinks of any kind removed from bags. Probably will happen on next cruise on Feb. 3rd. okbowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortysmama Posted September 22, 2006 #28 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We've always taken a few bottles of liquor in our luggage and never had a problem. In order to have a drink before dinner on our balcony, we pack a couple of quart sized plastic bottles. On our breakfast menu card we would order extra juices...orange, cranberry, grapefuit...etc and then transfer them to the quart containers and put them in the fridge for later use as mixers. It works our wonderfully. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynneL Posted September 23, 2006 #30 Share Posted September 23, 2006 They kept it at the port itself? I thought they would take it onboard & return it to you the last night of your cruise.:confused: Yes, because it was a Port security person that found it (the x-ray baggage screener). We had to go over to a desk in the port to get our slip accounting for it & was told that was where we had to go back to at the end of the cruise to retrieve it.

Kbears Posted September 23, 2006 #31 Share Posted September 23, 2006 We brought on our liquor also. I brought on some small bottles of flavored rum, they go very well with the sodas i got at the bar with my soda card. We also put Kahlua and Irish Cream in small water bottles. They went very well with the coffee and the hot cocoa. Oh yea, I had to bring on the hot cocoa also. Princess ships do not offer free packets of hot cocoa. I guess I am a little cheap.

coiran Posted September 23, 2006 #32 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Any liquid found in an unsealed bottle will most likely be confiscated - just a warning to those who transfer booze int water bottles - just keep it in the original bottle and put it in your checked luggage.

Ron So far we have not had any problems. I have actually carried on the bottles also. I also take a lot of small bottle waters to drink throughtout the trip. My bags are always heavy getting on.

Ron Ron, What do you base this info on? How do you know this? I have never had A problem before and always make sure the Bottle does not look half empty... What are they going to do check the seals on water or soda bottles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micbear Posted September 23, 2006 #35 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I can only tell you what has worked for us in the past. I have put the liquor into empty water bottles and walked on board with it in the carry ons. I brought Kahlua and the little sample bottles of rum that I just threw in and no one questioned. I also had a flask that I filled up with Amaretto. I cruised this year in January with a lot of alcohol, and again in June with a fair amount, so it is very recent. I also have spill proof containers that I have filled (Baileys is yummy in after-dinner coffee too)! I just like what I like and don't want the huge bar tab! Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

That is my Micbear... she really did enjoy her after dinner drinks. I found the best water bottle to use was the Deja Blue water. Nobody thinks it is anything but water. A little goes a long way in the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortysmama Posted September 23, 2006 #37 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The rules about carrying on liquid are specifically meant for the airlines...and it's only for carry-on luggage or purses etc. BTW...that includes toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo etc. They initiated those rules after the last attack on the British airlines. As far as I know it doesn't apply to carry-ons for the cruise...but you can double check with Princess or your TA. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicaletta Posted September 24, 2006 #41 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I would agree to just pack it very carefully in your luggage. I usually will wrap the bottles in plastic and then put lots of clothes around them to give it some cushion. Coming home from our cruise we seen someone who packed liquor in their checked luggage and didn't cushion it and the luggage was soaked and reeked of liquor.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagmanss1 Posted September 24, 2006 #42 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I was referring to airlines checked luggage.

Take it, pack it, hey it's just Freakin bread:D :eek: LMFAO..... What A Tomato is going to explode!!! And corn on the cob will kill? What will these do implode and kill people.... Yep!!!! Headline... Killer tomato kills 120 passengers when it exploded... Corn Killed all onboard when it impaled all except for the white corn the yellow is what did them in...
