Question

Anyone take alcohol on a Carnival Cruise ship lately? Did you pack it in your luggage? Any problems?

Answer 1

My brother tried to sneak some booze aboard in his luggage.  They found, and confiscated it.  We where able to pick it up when we returned.  If you are bashful, don't even think about it.  They tend to make an example of the ones they catch.  I did manage to sneak in about 6 cold beers!

Answer 2

i never have problems carnival allows you to bring on wine, but i usually pack something like rum or applepucker wrapped up real good and rewrapped around a towl and put it in my check in luggage.

Answer 3

Wrap it up good in your luggage - the only thing they will do if they catch you is take it away.  It will be returned the last day of the cruise.

I have always taken on alcohol in my check in luggage and never had a problem.

Answer 4

I packed it with the shampoo and other bath things and didnt have a problem but who knows

Answer 5

probably would be confiscated. If you buy alcohol on board they keep it for you and give it to you before you get off the ship. If you bring your own, they have a corkage fee.

Answer 6

We just took a Carnival Cruise in September.  

Carnival does allow one bottle of wine or champagne per passenger, no problems.  As for booze, a guest sitting at our dinner table told us that she packed a bag full of 'nips' in her toiletries bag and had no issues. In fact, she asked her stateroom attendant to clean out her mini-bar refrigerator so that she could keep all of her own stuff in there, and it was never questioned.  

I have also read that people are allowed to take cases of bottled water or soda with them, if you tag it like your luggage, but we have never done that.
