Out to sea! Posted January 7, 2015 #76 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's like saying if I don't go to a restaurant, that will be detrimental to those waiters. They're not doing any work for me, so there's no comparison. It would be if you were sneaking food into those restaurants in violations of their rules.

Out to sea! Posted January 7, 2015 #77 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Whether or not you eat in the steakhouse has no bearing on this discussion. If you did not smuggle alcohol and you wanted an alcoholic drink on board , you would have to be served by a bartender. If you decided to not drink on your cruise, then it would not effect the earnings of the bartenders. But you are drinking on board and by smuggling you're taking money from their pockets. Watch, next the poster will claim that even in that scenario they wouldn't affect the bartenders because they remove the tip anyway. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZbeachboy Posted January 7, 2015 #78 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Watch, next the poster will claim that even in that scenario they wouldn't affect the bartenders because they remove the tip anyway. ;) That does not affect the scenario because you cannot remove the auto tips from drinks. I don't drink so none of it matters to me. If they get by with it good. for them. They have to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know personally but several here have shared that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see by my tag line, about 45 days ago, next one coming up in 60 days. Haven't tried Celebrity myself yet but I can guarantee you they don't throw in the drink package on an inside cabin. Balcony or suite, probably, inside no way. Hoping you get caught so you'll stop breaking Carnival rules. Have a great/dry cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDawg Posted January 7, 2015 #82 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Good golly, another booze smuggling thread. Anything changed since the last one?:rolleyes: Here's a new twist why don't we all bash those non-drinking, non-gambling, non spa spending penny pinchers out there who hardly spend a dime on the Ship. They are the ones affecting everybody else on-board! :mad: Do you know how much booze I have to buy to generate enough tips for the crew and profit for Carnival to make up for those cheapskates! :eek: Discuss.;) Edited January 7, 2015 by DirtyDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping you get caught so you'll stop breaking Carnival rules. Have a great/dry cruise! On the one we have booked for the fall we did have to do ocean view for a little more but still hundreds cheaper than CC with a drink package. Last spring we did Connie and after a price drop and upgrade to Balcony we went for 389 each with drink package prepaid gratuities and onboard credit it was only five nights but it was a deal.

He has no way of knowing if the majority are caught. does he poll the people afterwards and ask them if they were successful in smuggling the alcohol on board.

If they get by with it good. for them. They have to live with it. That's NOT true. You can adjust the 15% anyway you like. The tip is 100% in your control.

It like law enforcement try to tell you how many speeders they did not catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
