Rare sparks1093 Posted February 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The cruise lines are aware of this method and do look for it. If it becomes too prevalent then cruise lines will prohibit wine from being brought onboard, the same way that many no longer allow bottles of water and soda.

If you want to make a cocktail in your cabin, order a bottle of booze from room service. It's as easy as picking up the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I really doubt that anyone who is contemplating replacing wine with liquor in order to save money is really all that interested in sailing on one of those lines. Another thing to think about- do you really want to sail with them on your favorite cruise line?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted February 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2018 With the number of times alcohol smuggling questions get asked here, one would think there are a lot of cheap alcoholics amongst CC members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted February 19, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 19, 2018 You can pre-orrder a botttle of liquor in advance of boarding an HAL cruise and the bottle will be in your cabin when you board. No need to sneak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic6318 Posted February 19, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Is a hundred dollars to have a bottle delivered to your cabin going to break your budget? Are you going to spend money on anything else on this cruise that you could cut back on? If the answer to the first question is yes and the second no, then, if I were you, I would just put a couple of smaller bottles in my checked bag and hope they don't find them. No point sneaking around. Put them in a ziploc bag in case they break. good luck have a great cruise oh yeah by the way, welcome to cruise critic. If you spend some time learning from this site about your ports of call or your cruise line, you might save yourself enough money to pay for the bottle next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
