i think that i posted this before.....i have never had a problem taking booze on board.....on short trips [carribean ugh], put in checked baggage....
on many , i've run them thru the xray coming back on board at ports...
on some, i could buy from the duty free or a ship bar at reasonable prices...
however, the cruise lines have policies against this, so read the fine print and decide...
most of our cruises have been on small ships [biggest 2k pax once, smallest 80 pax]....the majority on 100-500 pax...
after 31 cruises, we are having trouble finding another to go on...but arew still looking...
