Indeed.  If I was Cruise Ship Security, I would find this thread of particular interest.... just sayin'.

 

Edited to add: I work in bar consultation, loss prevention specifically. There are a million ways to tamper with "sealed" bottles, and I've seen every one of them. Except the alcohol is exiting the bottle in the cases I see.

 

Best/easiest way is to just throw a couple bottles in your checked luggage of cheap-o stuff you dont mind losing if they catch it. And if they do, who cares, your out $30

Depends on the people working. I've had them actually open my factory sealed 12-packs of Coke Zero, looking at each can. Other times I breeze on through with my 12-packs and wine.

Tough to predict frankly.

 

I will say that it seems they've been more lax lately, at least in Charleston - lines to check in are MUCH smoother than even 2 years ago. Granted our last cruise was this time last year, things may have changed again.
