Bringing Alcohol on a Cruise?
Curious about what people think about this, I found a few sites that show you how to get alcohol on a cruise such as:
http://www.rockbottomcruises.com/alcohol_on_cruise.html
Would you take the risk?
Have you done it before?
Have you heard of anyone getting kicked off ship for doing this?
Tell me about your experiences.
I'm sure most people have snuck candy into a movie theater so I don't see much of a difference here. What do you think?

People do not get kicked off ships for trying to smuggle alcohol on board. Usually the worst that can happen is that the cruise line will take the booze and store it until the end of the voyage, or they will pour it out (or drink! lol) in front of you.
On my last cruise I was in Hawaii and I think it was in Maui where 2 women got caught for trying to smuggle 2 bottles of beer on board. They flipped out at security and made a big scene, but in the end they handed over the beer and their cabin # so it would be tagged and given back at the end of the voyage.

Google "rum runner flasks" for all the info you need. There are probably other companies selling a product like this cheaper, but these work and don't leak. 10+ cruises under my belt and never, ever an issue. They will not kick you off, the worst that will happen is they find something(which is usually someone trying to bring a bottle), after your luggage is scanned you would get a note in your cabin indicating they need to do a secondary screen on your luggage and that you need to go to a specified room. They open your luggage in front of you, if anything is found they hold it until the end of the cruise. Now if you were trying to get illegal drugs or a bazooka on board they would probably throw you off, but half the ship tries to get alcohol on board and no cruise line debarks passengers for that, even if caught.

You are typically allowed so many water bottles per person as well and you can buy new caps online that when you screw them on the water bottles they will have the perforation intact and appear unopened. Must be a clear liquor of course. I have never done this on a cruise, but I will if we ever take one. I have used them to take vodka into concerts before though

Exactly. I've never understood why there's so much subterfuge on this topic; just put in your checked luggage and it will be delivered to your stateroom.

Just put what in your luggage? Do you use things to help it get through x-ray, or do you just throw the alcohol in the way it comes in a bottle?

We had it confiscated from checked baggage on Royal Caribbean. We had two bottles, one plastic, one glass, in different cases. The plastic liter made it through, the glass on didn't. We had to go and claim our case and they searched it and took the bottle. They would not return it at the end of the cruise either.
