lls-con Posted September 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I came up with the idea of putting rum into a plastic apple cider/apple juice container because I thought the color would be close. Do you think that would work? Thanks, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt2890 Posted September 28, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yes so long as you dont try and carry it on. You may encounter the rules/policies police on the forum though, so watchout! :rolleyes: Enjoy your cruise and let us know how it went :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticcruiser Posted September 30, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I came up with the idea of putting rum into a plastic apple cider/apple juice container because I thought the color would be close. Do you think that would work? Thanks, Lisa fresh off the Elation, we had friends that carried 3 liter water bottles, and went to the liquor stores in port, poured their clear vodka, rum, etc. into the water bottles and walked right back on the boat. they then poured into smaller water bottles, and carried them around the ship and into the nightclubs and ordered sodas the entire night....adding a bit of their "water" to their sodas.....cheap way to get drunk as I found out. SO YES, IT DOES REALLY WORK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahcir Posted September 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2006 On the Carnival Spirit, Alaska, 04, the security guards were actually opening water bottles as we boarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted September 30, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2006 On the Carnival Spirit, Alaska, 04, the security guards were actually opening water bottles as we boarded. I haven't seen it done personally but i have heard about them opening up water & soda bottles or carefull checking for a seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob42 Posted September 30, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I would just put a bottle of rum in a zip lock so it doesn't leak and just pack it in the middle of one of your Checked Baggage. Face it if you fet caught you just loose the bottle until you return. All this putting it into other containers does not decrease your chance of getting caught with it. Face it chances of them finding it in checked luggage is about 3% and that is because of leakage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted September 30, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2006 A good way to get rum on board is to pour it down your throat while you are in post, and then just walk on the ship. I've never heard of rum smuggled that way being being confiscated.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of rum smuggled that way being being confiscated.;) Half the ship does that in Cozumel. Its called Carlos & Charlie's. Sometimes its the best entertainment in the islands,:D sometimes you're the entertainer.:eek: As a Smuggle policeman, I have no problems with smuggling booze this way. Ahhh, other than hangovers.

ConquestCruiser Posted October 1, 2006 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Don't sweat it!! Just pack it in your luggage!! No problem mon!! Worked for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triciaa Posted October 1, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well, I know this will not be good for the "good wine" enthusiasts, but I found "Block Wine", It's literally a cardboard boxed wine that is 5"x5"x5". It's a "boxed wine", (in a plastic bladder) but it's very good! I'm looking forward to bringing it with me on RCI Monarch of the Seas in November. From what I've been reading, RCI does not allow any alcohol to be brought on the ship. From a previous poster, I learned to drain a boxed wine, then re-fill it with whatever I like (ie: scotch, vodka, rum). I found this wine cube (literally 5"x5"5") from Grocery Outlet for $1.99...and beleive it or not the wine is actullay pretty good! It regularly sells for $8.95....... I plan on bringing a little wine (block wine) as well as a "bladder" of scotch on my next cruise. A big thanks to the other poster who suggested this!!

gazingm42 Posted October 1, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2006 For someone who doesn't drink. Why don't the cruise lines allow you to bring rum, etc, back to your rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted October 1, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Pack it in your checked luggage and lock it. Pack it well to protect againts gorillas and/or butterfingers. If you can't wait until your luggage is delivered to your cabin and don't want to purchase at a bar, you may need to get a little innovative.

zydecocruiser Posted October 1, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2006 For someone who doesn't drink. Why don't the cruise lines allow you to bring rum, etc, back to your rooms? It cuts down on the profits derived from selling overpriced drinks at their bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted October 1, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It cuts down on the profits derived from selling overpriced drinks at their bars. Yes, that, and also it lets the cruise line avoid some liability if, for example, some spring break kid smuggles liquor into their cabin, drinks themself into a stupor, and stumbles unseen over the rail and into oblivion. If they were getting drunk in a bar the cruise line may be liable, but if they "prohibit" bringing in liquor and someone does it anyway, it's their fault and not the cruise line's.

gazingm42 Posted October 1, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 1, 2006 So do they 'police' the bars as well. What stops someone to get just down drunk and do something stupid, like that hasn't happen. Do they stop them via the sign n sail card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
