I've been on a few and love em! Booze is expensive on the ship so make sure you bring enough money for that, gambling, and tipping. It really adds up quickly.

I enjoyed roaming the boat. There was always something going on. Of course, I enjoy me time, so I had no problem walking around, sitting down, reading, taking a nap, etc. |

No it's not their policy either (had to look it up though).
I assume what he's saying is just to pack it in your luggage and it will often get through. I know that's what we do with Carnival. I've only been on two, but on both we put a couple of bottles (750s, not 1/2 gallons) in each bag and I figured if it got on, great, if not, I'd get it back at the end of the cruise since I left it in the original containers. Last week we got all six bottles in. You can also carry on two bottles of wine if that's your thing. Also, when you're leaving a port they tell you to check your liquor, but they don't always pay real close attention to if you go to the check in table or not. Leaving Cozumel last Thursday, I carried a 3L bottle of Jack Daniel's straight to the room. |

I look back at the trouble we went through to hide booze in mouthwash bottles and just laugh.

Been on 7. Not really looking to go anymore (at least for now) but #8 will be this spring since it's a family thing.

Only on Chiefsplanet.
Let's go on a CRUISE and then see what we can do to pinch every last penny on incidentals. |

'Merica! **** yeah! But freedom isn't free. Naw there's a hefty ****in fee. And if you don't sneak on your booze, someone else will. Freedom is bringing booze on the boat!

Having lived there, I can tell you that your smuggled American booze is horse piss. The stuff you can get on-shore is WAY better. |

I'll keep that in mind, because the Mediterranean cruise is on my list of musts. And it's damn near at the top. I'll bet that was gorgeous. Got any pictures? I know we're not supposed to post vacation pics on here and whatnot, but let's make an exception.

IIRC, we checked in our luggage, got our safety briefing and the luggage was delivered to our room.

They're in a scrapbook somewhere. It was in the mid-90s so it was all done with a film camera. Oh the horror.

Your drink tastes better when you think you’re cheating “the man”.
