I don't want to be judgy, but is it really worth it to bring 16oz of booze onto a cruise illegitimately?
just 16oz? No. But depending upon drinking habits and how many are being served you can save HUNDREDS of dollars bringing your own booze aboard. While cruise lines are generally quite happy to make arrangements to bring your own wine they are decidedly against letting a passenger bring their own booze.
As noted in another post there is a maximum limit that may be placed in checked baggage per passenger.
For TSA purposes having a bunch of sunscreen bottles in checked bags should go through no problems. However, if they decide to screen and detect the alcohol, they might decide to determine whether the quantity exceeds allowances - that could be a problem.
A strategy I have found that works quite well is to purchase at a local liquor store after arrival in the port city on the way to the port. Take a few minutes to fill the bottles and distribute them throughout all your luggage that is being carried and checked aboard the cruise ship. Then you wont have any limits to worry about.
Fair winds!
