KtBarker Posted April 13, 2006 #176 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Look, it's really getting silly debating this issue and it's really a matter of personal choice. ...maybe I just don't get how it is a matter of personal choice, when the rules clearly state you can't bring booze on board. (excluding your one bottle of wine). To me that just says, I'm arrogant and think the rules don't apply to me. It's not a matter of personal choice it's a matter of I'm going to break the rules, or I'm NOT going to break the rules. Personal choice is what color dress pants you are going to wear in the dining room, or what you are going to order for dinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsb Posted April 13, 2006 #178 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Kurbanfan--now we're arrogant rule breakers!:D Kinda feel like Robert Redford and Paul Newman in the Sting or Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I don't think we're as bad as Tony Soprano--yet. This cheap, selfish, arrogant rule breaker is heading to Meijer for a case of Labatt's. Need some practice before the cruise comes around. I'll probably feel bad paying only $16/case rather than the $124 I'd pay on board. I might just make an airplane out of a $100 bill and float it out the car window to see if it makes me feel good. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaki321 Posted April 13, 2006 #179 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hey, I have posted this on other threads, but my dilemma is that they don't carry Maker's Mark on the ship - - not at the bars or through Bon Voyage services. I was ready to order a bottle for hubby, but no go. From what I understand, Jack Daniels is the next best thing, but it's a step waaaaaaaaaay down from Maker's Mark. DH said "yuk, plew, ewwww" when I suggested it. :( I also suggested Jim Beam and he shot me the evil eye. Apparently, I know nothing about kentucky straight bourbon whiskey! Ok, so I am back to smuggling or ordering from somewhere to have it delivered. Bad Kaki. OR - - I could bring some mini's for him, if they make em. Goingcruisin, I think you mentioned bringing mini's? How many have you brought? Where did you pack em? Any troubles? Venture, have you talked with Well Wishers yet about the liters of liquor delivery? I want my DH to have his Maker's Mark one way or the other. He doesn't like anything else, and I think he should be able to have it on his vacation. So, flame me if you must, but I don't care :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KtBarker Posted April 13, 2006 #180 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I agree. It's a choice. I have never smuggled booze on board (I think simply because I'm too lazy to lug it.) Would I some day... maybe, but I don't feel it is my 'right' to do it becuase of the drink prices on board, or whatever other reason I can think of. I have cruised, and done all inclusive resorts, if I expected to not pay a lot of money for booze I'd go to another all-inclusive resort. I prefer cruises. Please feel free to smuggle if like to do it, just be able to admit that it is wrong! :p Don't justify smuggling booze, just do it if you feel you need it for whatever reason, brand, timing, consumption amount.

I would call WellWishers. It sounds from the posts that I have read that they have banned the delivery of cases of beer... not necessarily spirits.

gypsyrose Posted April 13, 2006 #190 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I emailed wellwishers and just got a reply back that all orders placed before they were "asked" by CCL not to deliver beer anymore will be delivered. Phewww....I feel better now. Cheap, selfish, rule breaking ME wants to enjoy a cold one on the balcony:D Everyone have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... if you are ordering through Wellwishers, and Carnival is allowing it, how does that make you cheap, selfish and rule breaking?

Cruise, J.D. Posted April 13, 2006 #195 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Smuggling is a no brainer to me. Why pay Carnival's prices when you can just put your own alcohol in your luggage? You don't even have to hide it when you put it in your checked luggage. They don't care, if they did, they would confiscate it. I would hate to think I wasted hundreds of dollars on Carnival booze when I can bring my own and Carnival will even keep it iced down for me. Less money I spend on booze means more I can spend somewhere else. We all know the real rule is "Don't ask, Don't tell". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILov2cruise Posted April 13, 2006 #197 Share Posted April 13, 2006 You are all complaining about the price, did you ever think that if you didn't smuggle than the price would be lower. I have read it all, you all still buy a drink here and there but if you don't smuggle you will buy 2 more drinks here and there (million people x 2 drinks) is alot of money Carnival is losing. Who pays the price for the smuggles, the non smuggles. What are you really saving, $50 for the week. I'd bet my last dollar that all you rule breakers are the same ones who complain about the dress code rule breakers. Do as I say, but not as I do.

That's because you have too many B's -- http://www.labatt.com/ Just kidding. Ok, I nominate you for membership. Guys?? Is he OK? Your name alone is good enough for me.
