Do you think RCCL would care if I had one bottle of alcohol in bubblewrap in my checked luggage? By the looks of other posts on this, I kind of think they would leave me alone and worry about others who pack whole suitcases filled with alcohol.

Any opinions?? & Don't anyone start with the whole ethical reason/laws of RCCL b/c I've read them a million times & just don't care to hear them anymore [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I doubt they would care. If you're worried about it, get a collapseable water bottle and put the booze in there. I did. Also, the first night there is a special on four bottles of rum or vodka for $25, with only one corkage fee applied, for a total of only $35. We decided to skip "smuggling" next time and just get the special. Much easier and less worry.

If the bottle breaks in the suitcase you would lose the booze and probably some clothes as well. I don't know if I would want to walk around the ship smelling like a mint julep.... [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Donuts, is there anything they can't do....

[LiLBxQt]

hahaha Im sure those bags do get thrown around ALOT before getting to the room, but I'm sure if i pack it well enough, I should be fine. In any case, I'll make sure to pack it in the bf's suitcase [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Why would you want to bring one bottle of booze on board? I could possibly understand if it was a $100 bottle of something...but just one bottle of liquer seems a little silly to MAXCAT...

1 bottle in each suitcase for the 2 of us [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Only bringing it to drink in the room & don't plan on being in the room that much. Only one of us is the real booze drinker; I prefer beer so....
Figured we're gonna be in bars/clubs around the island at night, and will probably do most of the drinking there [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

If it does not come in a plastic bottle, I use those big water bottles. I have even used those and put clear booze, like bacardi limon in them and carried them on in my carry on luggage and they never noticed.

LiLBxQt,

The answer to the question you asked "will they care?" is - Yes, they will care.

The answer to the question you didn't ask, but the one many people are answering "will I be likely to get caught?" is - No, you're not.
