cmalibu1 Posted January 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well I guess that leaves the two of us to pack our own!! Pretty sure everyone does it, and I havent heard to many people getting caught. Just make sure its not excessive, and that you are smart about it. Just pack it tight and good (in your carryon)! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph7021 Posted January 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Let me be the first to tell you that although someone out there may actually answer your question........you will also get the following: *smuggling is against your cruise contract *smuggling is against the rules *what kind of example are you setting for your children? *do you lie at work also? *you are raising the price of the cruise for everyone *the stocks are sure to drop if you all keep smuggling *this is exactly the sort of thing that makes Carnival look cheap I am sure I am missing a few comments........however, how about no one say the above comments and ONLY respond if you can answer the OP's original question! Whadya say? Or am I ruining all your fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun! Wrap in bubble wrap and pack in your checked luggage.....never a problem. The bubble wrap (we always take extra) can be used for the return trip, bringing home the duty free purchase, since you can no longer carry it on the plane.

emilyrose Posted January 17, 2007 #10 Share Posted January 17, 2007 do a search for "booze" or "alcohol" and you will have stories coming out your ears. People get testy because someone posts a thread like this at least once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midazolam Posted January 17, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We brought a bottle of Amaretto and a bottle of Souther Comfort. We had it in our luggage and had no problem at all bringing it on board. But. I must tell you that we had some the first night and never bothered to drink in our room again. It is just no fun for us to drink alone. The socializing was much more fun on deck. We took most of what we brought on board home with us.

Nicknak100 Posted January 17, 2007 Author #13 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I know its annoying but i just never saw a clear answer. thanks a lot for you help everyone! BTW, extra alcohol is only for a little pre-deck party fun! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csradave Posted November 27, 2013 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation Day: Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the steakhouse. (A corkage fee is a charge exacted at a restaurant for every bottle of liquor served that was not bought on the premises) On embarkation day, each guest may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages on board and only in their carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 bottles and/or cans, 20 ounces each or less. Just thought you'd like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Geegitz Posted November 27, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 27, 2013 6 years ago you probably could have brought on 2- 30 racks of beer and 5 bottles of booze and a case of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
