Why you shouldn't smuggle

[Merion_Mom]

- because if you don't pace yourself, and drink it throughout your cruise, you have to finish it all on your last night.

 

HIC. :eek: :D ;) :rolleyes: :D :D

I don't mind leaving some for housekeeping, my compliments;)

You can always share some with new friends that you've just met ---- or someone you'd like to meet.

 

It's a great ice-breaker!!!!

On our last cruise the cabin steward told us the people who had our cabin the week before left us a bottle of wine. Talk about an honest steward.... he could have taken it for himself and nobody would have been the wiser.

 

I've smuggled in the past but end up bringing most of it home. I think if I want to drink I'll just buy them on board or in while I'm in port. Good thing we don't drink too much...would hate to miss the ship!:eek:

That is why there was a bottle of wine in our fridge last time we cruised. We threw it out since we don't drink but the room steward never stated anything about it and I know that RC did not give it to us for free just to say hi on our first cruise with them.

I just don't see the need. Sounds like a hassel. There is plenty found at the dozen or so bars on board.

Ellen, that is a good solution.

 

OT you have the same first name and my maiden name initials..eem...and my bd is 09/20. its a small world out there.:D

[MrPete]

The last couple of times I took off what I brought on. I just wasn't worth the aggravation, and I don't think I really needed a drink that bad.

 

Now, if you could put a foo foo in a bottle........

We have done that.....we tell them we are doing so.....or else it might wind up being thrown away

Speaking of throwing it away...........You threw it away????:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

Wish i would find a unopened bottle.........

 

 

I agree about smuggling......we rarely do that anymore.........found out we had most left at the end of the cruise........

But it does save you the effort of going up and down the hallway that last night, pilfering luggage.

RCI's stupid (IMO) rules about not being able to take on a bottle of Wine while visiting European, or South Americas ports is the reason I refuse to sail with them except in the Caribbean or Mexico. I now sail with Princess. I could see banning hard liquor but a bottle of Fine Wine? Give me a break!!:rolleyes:

I do I do! yuuuuuum I love mojitos now if I could just figure out a way to smuggle all the stuff I need to make them......... any ideas?

 

I need fresh mint (peppermint extract will do in a pinch but NOT the same) I'll need LOTS & LOTS of sugar (again splenda is spendid but NOT the same) then some tonic & fresh limes oh & how will I keep my mint not limp?

With a little planning it could work. Buy the mint and limes at the last minute before boarding and carefully put them in your checked luggage. along with the white rum in RR Limes will travel well but mint needs to be wrapped in paper towel and protected. Bring the tonic water on board with you since it is not prohibited. Put the mint wrapped in paper towel and limes in the refrigerator in your room. Get the sugar at WJ - they have it for the iced tea and cereal. This just might work. :D:D

I AM a martini fan but definitely not the traditional kind. Try a French Martini (vodka, chambord, splash of pineapple) or a Tangerine martini (vodka, peach schnapps and a splash of orange soda)

Would be tough getting my ingredients on board.......errrrrrr, I think!?

 

Forgot to mention, tangerine is best rimmed w/ tang
