Has anyone had wine/liquor leak in luggage?

If you buy the wine that is available aboard the ship you will not have to worry about leakage/breakage.:D

I've taken plastic bottles of wine or liquor and put them in a foodsaver bag and vacuum sealed them. I figured this was the best way to avoid a leak. It has worked well for me!!

And pay $200 for a bottle of Dom Perignon that my husband paid $109 for at home? Or pay nearly $30 each for several bottles of Asti that we bought for $10 each? No thanks, we'll bring it with us. Fortunately, we don't have to fly to the port. We carried on eight bottles of champagne and sparkling wine on the Legend last month. We used a rolling tote that matches our luggage -- it was a breeze taking it onboard the ship with us. No way would I attempt to put it in our checked luggage, but that's just me. (The plastic bottle of coconut rum was a different story. That I put inside two ziplock bags and packed in the middle of our checked bag.) :p

Or on your taxi ride to the ship... have the driver stop at a liquor/wine store and purchase your wine locally. Then you can carry it onto the ship.

It's only money.

I would like to take some wine with me on my Cruise in March, but I just keep picturing all my clothes in a shade of Merlot.:confused: Any packing suggestions. I would rather not bring a box wine. But I will if I have to!

Have you heard of or seen lock and lock containers? QVC sells them and I have seen some at Wal*Mart, they come in a variety of sizes. They are very sturdy and leakproof. I use them for toiletries, etc. I've had stuff leak inside them, but it has never leaked out of the container.

 

I also just saw some Berringer White Zin in little plastic single serve bottles at Wal*Mart, in a four pack. I bought some to try pre-cruise ;} seems like they had other kinds too, if you are a fine wine drinker, these may not be your cup of tea, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Or you could just buy wine locally before boarding and carry it on, instead of having bottles break because you are a cheap sun-of-a-gun and are willing to screw everyone else becaue you think you can sneak in a bottle without breaking it on everyone elses luggage...:rolleyes:

I will buy the wine in Lauderdale and carry it on the ship now that I know I can. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Ventureman, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?:p

True, but it's my money, and as long as Carnival allows us to carry on wine or champagne, we'll do it. ;)
