Leo Jay Posted September 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I don't really drink, but I'm just curious. When I did my first cruise last month, the alcohol in the gift shops seemed cheap as all get-out -- certainly cheaper than the alcohol I've bought as gifts on land. Why do people bother with the whole smuggling bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarribbeanTina271 Posted September 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2005 When you buy the alcohol on board or in port, the cruiseline holds it till the last night of the cruise........ so you can buy the drinks from the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony&jackie Posted September 22, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Try this math on for size: You can buy 2 liters of Crown Royal in the gift shop for 36 bucks. A double Crown and Coke at the bar was 11.39. I will definitely smuggle my own on board next time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted September 22, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Because I'm a big lush and my tab from buying liquor by the drink at the bar would exceed a small nation's gross national product? Because I'm cheap? Because service by the pool isn't fast enough? So I can loudly proclaim in the (pick your favorite location: casino, dining room, poolside, restaurant, hair salon) ___________ that I made my drink with liquor from my room and free dispenser punch?
