Hello

I am cruising on the Carnival Celebration in about a month. After reading Carnivals terms and conditions, I see that it is not encouarged to bring alcohol on board but you can bring 1 bottle of champagne/wine.

My goal is to bring aboard some beverages, preferably some liquor, beer, and cokes that will last me for most of the 5 day cruise. Do any FTers have experiences bringing aboard alcohol onto cruises and even some strategies for doing so?

Will plastic bottles explode in checked cruise luggage? How do you get beer to stay cold without a fridge in the room? Is the coke card worth it to make mixed drinks or is bringing my own coke aboard the best idea.
