That's my reasoning for always buying a soda package on board; pure convenience. In the end, I figure that at worst I break even on a port intensive cruise, but a sailing with a bunch of sea days, I definitely come out ahead. I don't drink coffee, so I get my caffeine from Diet Coke, even with breakfast.

I've never been on a cruise, but I have thought about putting rum in a saline solution bottle to have a rum & coke in the room (while she takes her sweet time getting ready) if we ever go on one.
There are literally thousands of threads on booze smuggling on Cruise Critic.
