Rare BlerkOne Posted August 26, 2018 #105 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Carnival cruise line is the worst with trying to sneak liquor on board, just put your stuff in a plastic bottle and put it in your luggage. If you take it onboard, they charge you a $25 uncorking fee [emoji849] screw you Carnival. Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app That little, huh? Have you ever been on a Carnival cruise?

Sent from my Moto G (4) using Forums mobile app I was referring more to the idea of pouring one's booze into a glorified baggie to avoid detection. It just smacks too much of the "hiding your booze" behavior that's supposed to be one of the symptoms of problem drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U4icmusic Posted August 26, 2018 #108 Share Posted August 26, 2018 They are not glorified baggies. I don't use them anymore because I get the packages, but they served us well for years and still look brand new.

Imurex Posted August 26, 2018 #109 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Worst case scenario, they confiscate it. You can buy it in port also. If you buy bottles on the ship, they won't give it to you until the last night of the cruise.

Luckiestmanonearth Posted August 26, 2018 #114 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Today i heard there were 13 people denied boarding for staying to smuggle alcohol. Don't know if it was rc or carnival but good for them for enforcing their rules. This did not happen on Carnival. If you listen to John Heald, they are the fun ships and if this is how they do business, they will lose many customers.

Purpleflower6 Posted August 27, 2018 #118 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I don't know what you paid, but the last time we were on Carnival "which was about 5 ys ago" we paid a $25 uncorking fee in the dining room for a $20 bottle of wine we took on board. The next night we paid $65 for another bottle of wine from the ship which cost us $20 on land. Bottom line.....get drunk ***** the islands.

Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app it was obviously a mistake of some sort Corkage Fee A $15 USD corkage fee, per 750 ml bottle, will be charged should guests wish to consume their wine or champagne in the main dining room, specialty restaurant or bar. A corkage fee is a charge assessed at time of service at a restaurant for every bottle served that is not bought on the premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted August 27, 2018 #120 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Booze in a Rum Runner, mouth-wash bottles, etc could be a violation of some states open container laws. So there is a possibility that local authorities could arrest or ticket a person if the booze is discovered in the port. What??? Let me add some clarity to open container laws. Those pertain to use or being a passenger in a motor vehicle. Your comments lend themselves to transfer of alcohol from one container to another, that's not related to open container laws. .

We've sailed since the Mardi Gras and the corkage fee has never been $25. Ask a bartender for a wine glass. Fill it in your cabin and carry it to dinner or wherever you are going in enclosed deck areas. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restasured Posted November 9, 2018 #125 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On 8/24/2018 at 4:41 PM, Lottacruises said: Do stores consider shoplifting and other shrinkage into their prices? Ships aren't "loosing" anything. Passengers, if forced to pay for drinks will simply drink a bit less. I have "smuggled" booze on, years ago, and bought as many drinks from the ships bars as I would had I not "smuggled". I made a drink in the room and took it out but had I not had the booze in the cabin I would just simply not drink as much. I set limits on how much I will spend on cruises.
