Is it better to smuggle a bottle of vodka and rum on the carry on or in checked luggage?

 

p.s. why do people bring crockpots onboard?

[mrdood]

Crockpots? Never heard of it. Oh and ps even in the checked luggage, it is not a sure thing... for the booze, not the crock pot.

Just use your imagination ;) !

It's not smuggling, it's called creative packing....(as per a fellow CC'er). Put it in your checked luggage, locked up...people suggest plastic bottles of course and maybe in a plastic bag in case it would leak...If it leaks, you'll be stuck in the laundry room. You don't want to be there - there are mean people posing as IRS agents/law enforcement officers doing their laundry on your quarters! ;)

[CruiseFairy]

you're allowed to lock your luggage?

Yep - If you are flying in, just lock it before giving it to the porters. Zip ties work really well for quick locks if you don't have regular locks anymore.

Crock Pots?

Ok, I can imagine almost anything, but for the life of me I can't think of any purpose for bringing along a crockpot.:confused:

Its a longtime running joke on this board.

You have all got me SO worried now that I am actually, for the first time, putting Gin in huge water bottles and bringing a backpack with them strapped on the side so it looks like I am Mr Athletic who nees his fluids after a hard workout.

 

I already got busted once by the Carnival Booze Patrol on embarkation foolishly trying to smuggle bottles of beer I grabbed from the concierge lounge at the Intercontinental in Miami (hey, they were free, what can I say?) on the way out the door. How humiliating. Reminded me of when I was 16 and the cop poured it out illuminated by the headlights of my Volkswagen that one Friday night after the football game.

 

Sheesh

 

DW and the kids thought that was hilarious. I think I started speaking to them on day 3 of the cruise.

 

There should be a law against persecuting booze smugglers

Hello,

 

On my recent 10-22-05 Glory sailing i packed a cooler with 2 bottles of wine, 3 flasks of Baileys, 7 big bottles of water and a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi and ice. It was unlocked and made it to my cabin ok. My other luggage was locked. All of which were checked in through baggage.

 

Have a nice day................

Definitely checked luggage, in plastic bottles and then place the bottle in a large ziploc bag. The ziploc can then be used later to carry back wet swimsuits, etc from ashore. As far as the crockpot goes....i believe it concerns a running joke about there not being enough food available on a cruise (like that would ever happen!), so people sarcastically suggest that they need to smuggle a crockpot aboard to ensure they get enough to eat.

Now was that necessary ;) !!!
