How can i successfully sneak booze on a cruise to the bahamas??

Question

i am going on a cruise to the bahamas in a month, and i know that the drinks are not too much more expensive on the boat, but after 10 days of being on the boat, that can suffice for a huge bill in drinks. Sooo....has anyone tried or know of THE BEST way to sneak booze onto the ship? ie: a suitcase full? dump out a case of water bottles and fill them with vodka? any other successful, sneaky ways would be great!! :)

Answer 1

My good friend is a travel agent she goes on alot of cruises, She's been on over 100 cruises.  They do x-ray all of your luggage.  If they do see the bottle they won't open your luggage they will call you down to the main office and will make you open your luggage and confiscate the alcohol.  Any alcohol purchased on the cruise ship is locked away and given to you at the end of the cruise.  She said to wrap the bootles in bubble wrap and hide it between a bunch of clothes has worked for her.

Answer 2

i just went on a cruise last week and I brought a bottle of rum with me. Just put it in your checked luggage. Don't try to carry it on because they run your carry-on stuff through a metal detector. They don't check your checked luggage at all.

We just got back from a cruise and I took a small amount of liquor in a flask, about a pint sized bottle.  I packed it with my clothes and other toiletries.  They say they that x-ray baggage before it goes on ship but I am not sure of that.  They will place ALL of your carry-ons through a scanner just like the one at airports.  Best bet is carry a few small bottles packed with toiletries.  Also, when you go into ports buy some mini's; like the kind they sell on airplanes.  This last trip we bought some minis and I put them in my pouch and they went right through the scanner.  Most times they are looking for big bottles of liquor.

Also, when you get the booze to your cabin, don't leave it sitting out; always keep it in a drawer or your bag.  The room stewart  will sometimes tell you this.

You can try the ideas that are already here, but I know several people who have gotten caught, and had their stash confiscated.  The cruise lines have been more diligent about this with the amount of "accidents" involving smuggled alcohol.

Answer 5

Just put the bottle of booze in your suitcase and walk on board. as long as the bottle doesnt leave the ship, you'll be fine. They have thousands of passengers and don't search the bags, especially because the baggage never leaves the ship, so you never violate customs.

If your really worried about it put the booze into a medicine bottle, like tylenol PM or something, or even a listerine bottle.

check the cruise lines "allowance" for cosmetics. You can bring a half gallon bottle of "listerine" ;) ;) on board.

When I was in the Navy I did it all the time.

Answer 6

Take your booze and hide it in between many clothes, and when you first get on your baot and get your luggage they probably wont find it and you wont get in trouble but if you do just say you 4got ! works everytime , and they normalyly let u keep it :)

Answer 7

Wow!  you must be a heavy drinker if you would drink a caseful of water bottles filled with vodka in 10 days.  

If you are a casual drinker, just put a bottle of liquor in your checked baggage and it will get there just fine.  

You actually will enjoy the cruise a lot more if you are sober than falling down drunk.  Drinks are in the $6 range and a few of those each day is not going to break you, I hope.  You would not consider sneaking your own booze into a club.  Why do it on a ship?

Answer 8

Purchase it by the bottle on board the ship.  You will likely get caught if you try to sneak it on.  The inspections are very thorough.
