PattBenatar Posted July 24, 2017 #51 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Were they taken because the cork had the corkscrew hole in the top? Why would you resurrect a old how to smuggle booze on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs C Posted July 24, 2017 #52 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So you are allowed one bottle of wine each, if you want to bring more, can you do that and pay an extra fee? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bharkins12 Posted July 24, 2017 #55 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I saw them confiscate two bottles of wine from the couple in front of us on our last cruise. Counldn't quite catch what they were saying to them but something about the labels not matching the caps??? So they were looking certainly checking closely on that trip. That was on the Dream last May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted July 24, 2017 #56 Share Posted July 24, 2017 What is it about all the "how the rules don't apply to me" posts on Carnival? For heavens sake, just order a bottle on board for twenty bucks. I personally think they should deny boarding for those who are caught doing this. Just sad. The booze from the fun Shop is a lot more than $20.00- around $80.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisewenn Posted July 24, 2017 #58 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Has anyone ever brought on their allowable bottle of wine. Just wondering how closely the seal is inspected. Has anyone replaced the wine with alcohol and gotten away with it? Or caught? I have those sleeve and cap things that you stick under boiling water and it looks professionaly sealed. Just not sure about the screw part that separated. How closely do they look at the wine bottle? Can anyone tell me?__________________ Hi OP, My experience has been that our wine sailed through every time without even being looked at. We both have a backpack-style cooler that contains our 12 sodas, removed from the box, with the one bottle of wine. I wrap the bottle in bubble wrap but leave the neck visible. We unzip them and say, "This contains our soda and wine," then put them on the belt. A few suggestions; [edited to add-if you do reseal your wine] don't be that person who isn't prepared or has TOO MUCH stuff. We have everything out and ready; we use a porter for ALL of our luggage, and our carry-ons consist of the cooler bags and a small backpack with our cruise documents. Fumbling around and causing a delay will get you attention you don't want anyway. We pack anything else we bring in our luggage and have never had an issue. As long as it is plastic, not glass, you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why one day soon we won't be allowed to take wine onboard either. Always someone who has to ruin it for others because the rules don't apply to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfreel Posted August 31, 2019 #60 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We tried this on the Vista. They lady at the table after the X-ray pulled both bottles out and the. Peeled the seal off and shook her head no. She didn’t even inspect the second bottle just kept it. Didn’t inspect out sodas either. No no we have soda and nothing to add to it.

Since this thread was started and resurrected, they have changed how they manage carry on liquids. The carry on scanner caught the mini bottles being carried on by the women in front of me at Port Canaveral. Both women had to empty their backpacks completely.

One person can carry both bottles if you are close together in line. No need for two bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trummy Posted October 13, 2019 #68 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Please don't do this. We can no longer carry on bottled water or soda because of this very same thing, Don't people realize that the cruise lines read these boards? Please don't post this crap. I don't want to loose my bottled wine priviledge because some people don't want to follow rules. Edited October 13, 2019 by trummy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big rumrunners get caught in carryons. Sometimes make it in checked baggage. Small ones can fit in cargo pockets with no issues through security as long as no metal (keys, coins, etc) in pants/shorts pockets . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

They also stock wine making and bottling supplies. I bought corks for 10 cents, shrinkwraps for 7 cents, and a bottle corker for $8. The room steward was most helpful in allowing us to borrow his cork screw. My wine of choice is a lovely reisling in a beautiful blue bottle. Good to go. On out last cruise, the Celebrity Reflection, we carried on one real bottle of wine. It was confiscated and held because it was larger than 750ml. I figured it was the size of 2 legal bottles so it would be fine. Wrong. It was, however, just as good when we got home. 😄 On 2/6/2015 at 3:26 PM, msweezie said: Has anyone ever brought on their allowable bottle of wine. Just wondering how closely the seal is inspected.
