Fawn Posted May 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2009 OK, I know the drinking age is 21...I'm not here to open up that particular can of worms! :O Can you bring alcohol/beer/wine on board for consumption "in you room"? If so, do you just bring it on in your carry-on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyforce6 Posted May 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2009 You are allowed to bring a bottle of wine or champagne (750 mil) per each 21 and over cruiser. I would bring THAT in my carry-on. Now the smugglers bring whatever they want in their CHECKED luggage. Rumrunners flasks are cool...I have one I am going to use....or maybe wrap your bottle in alot of bubblewrap and a giant baggie just in case it breaks and leaks in your luggage and onto everyone elses. Good Luck!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieSte Posted May 26, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I believe Carnival allows you to bring on a bottle or 2 of wine. Check out the rules on their website to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebat1 Posted May 26, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Beer & Liquor (any wine more than 1 -750ml per pax)in your CHECKED luggage. Soda & 1- 750ml botle of FINE wine P/Person in your carry-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylock Posted May 26, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hey All. This is one of the cruises I'm considering for a last minute getaway with my two girls, 18 and 19. Any other 18-22 college age kids onboard?? Are the ports any good, or are we just all here for the party??? LOL Would this be the reason for your question? Yeah, just carry it on in your carry-ons.

summer08bride Posted May 26, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2009 we brought a small amount of liquor, a container of fruit punch, a 12 pack of soda, a 4 pack of redbull, a regular sized bottle of wine, a large sized bottle of wine, and 2 water bottles. I believe everything but the liquor was in one suitcase with other toiletry items (shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, bug spray, etc) that we purchased in Miami. (we put this stuff in a bag that was folded up in our other suitcase when we flew carryon only). we put the liquor (plastic bottles) in my DH's shoes in the suitcase with our clothes. checked both, and everything made it to the room without a problem. we wondered if we should have taken the wine carryon, one with each of us, rather than packing them together in one suitcase, but they were heavy and we decided to take our chances.

Good Luck!!:D OK, I get the why the rumrunner flask may be undetectable...but how in the world do you smuggle beer in your luggage??? And the flasks...they don't break or leak as they are throwing your luggage around??? How about soda...can I carry a 12 pack of that on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawn Posted May 26, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Would this be the reason for your question? Yeah, just carry it on in your carry-ons. Heck, they can smuggle their own!!! LOL Put down the torches people...j/k.... I actually ask because I normally travel DCL, where it's perfectly acceptable to carry on whatever and however much liquor/beer/wine you would like. I'm not a huge drinker, but sure helps keep the price down! And as I said...the drinking age and all the accompanying issues is not something I wanted to raise on this thread!

YayGirlsTrip Posted May 26, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I believe they just do random searches of checked baggage, so if a luggage that contains alcohol isn't checked, they won't know. I don't believe they x-ray checked baggage. Anyone - is that correct? But I would certainly feel safer on the ship if they did x-ray all checked baggage for other dangerous things!! We are taking some rum runners. We'll stash (not "smuggle" - it's not illegal drugs) one in each bag we check. That way we'll hopefully end up with some, even if others are removed. :D And about the "one" bottle of wine per person... a relative recently went on the Conquest and had FOUR bottles in her carry-on bag. No problems. Weird. And on other threads people have talked about putting beer cans and bottles in their carry-on's. I'm not that brave! :D And I don't drink beer.

Upandadam Posted May 26, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think they do x-ray checked luggage. We borrowed some luggage once and the friend hid a pair of handcuffs in it as a prank. The first evening prior to receiving our luggage we got a call to come to security. The cuffs showed up on the xray. Guess, they're a no-no. Needless to say, they got a good laugh out of it, as did my wife. The funny thing was, they didn't care about the bottle of rum sitting in plain sight.

I drink beer, but I'm not that brave either!! For wine, I refuse to pay the markup prices on the cruise...so if I want it, I carry it!! For a shorter cruise, I may just stick to rum and beer completely! Just ordered myself a rumrunner set. Can see it being a nice addition to our little battery rechargeable blender!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penetangjudy Posted May 26, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 26, 2009 When we did our last cruise the man who owns a liquor store in Ft. Lauderdale who sells to over 3000 cruisers/wk said they put all the luggage in a big warehouse and use sniffer dogs that are looking for illegal things, bombs and drugs. There is no way they could have the time to put all those suitcases through an x-ray scanner, those are his words :) We got our stuff through no problem, a 60 of vodka, 40 of tequila and some Baileys for our morning coffee :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought a pair of scissors and they were longer than that and much easier to 'use' if that was my intention (of course they wouldn't have made good drinks ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was homeschooled her whole life...the last one of mine to graduate so bittersweet! She'll start at MontCo in the fall where her big sis goes. That's one of the reasons we always loved Disney was because you could bring on anything you wanted to drink. It really does cut down on costs and is just more convenient...especially if you have little ones you put down for naps or at night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
