this is the best advice currently. 2 years ago, just toss it in your checked baggage and and no worries. Now the people working the xray units care and will see it and take it in a lot of cases.
I used to smuggle with the best of them. they're enforcing things now that they never enforced before. If you're up for the challenge hit cruise critic (as suggested above) for advice. Otherwise buck up. Bon Voyage is high, but not as high as per drink at the bar.
next cruise is 2 bottles of wine as carry-on and BV for a liter of booze.
