Sneaking liquor on a cruise ship???

[SS Junk]

Baller enough to go on cruise. Broke dick enough to ask for liquor smuggling advice...

[Snatch Napkin]

Wow, just wow.


All inclusive is so much cheaper than the example they will make out of you if they feel like busting you.

Absolutely tip the person cleaning your room when he/she meets you in the beginning.

Good luck.

Wondering if this was a reason why some cruises were hit with the shit virus a few years back...

[Rick Modena]

Have never been on a cruise and I don't ever think I will.

X2 hopefully they dont decide to steal the silverware and towels! BTW if you do the shampoo bottle idea use some lemon juice as it is acid based and will help you rinse out all the soap fully.

Step One - Amputate your leg. The amount of booze you want to smuggle should help you make your decision on where to cut.
Step Two - Get a hollow prosthetic leg.
Step Three - Fill leg with booze.
Step Four - Limp your way onto the boat
Step Five - Tip your housekeeper.

If the crew didn't get sick, then it's a definite indication. However, cruise ships are infinitely worse than hospitals or handling money in regards to viruses and bacteria build up.

I've been on one and will never get on another.

OCD much? Sounds like you have a healthy respect for germs!!!

Give me your reasons, I have my own, but people will think that I can't give an opinion since Ive never been.

1) Too many old people and by old I mean over 60+
2) Really, how big can it be its a ship with many rooms to accomadate 4k+ people at times, it seems to me that everything is cramped.
3) I've heard about people missing the ship and it leaving you and being stranded in some island or worse, Mexico.
4) You have to eat their food and drink and from what I understand its not cheap.
5) Noise, I've seen those bitches leave Galveston and Florida, they make a shit ton of noise, I cant believe that you can sleep on that behemoth.
6) I get sea sick on small boats if it gets rough, I can imagine paying a shit load of money only to be sick and miserable...

Well, there are pros and cons. Your vacation starts as soon as you step foot on the boat. There's also as much as you want to do or as little as you want to do, at any given time, but it mostly revolves around spending a shit ton of money--drinking, shopping, auctions, casino...

I, for one, don't like being told when I can eat, who I have to eat with, being searched every time the ship makes berth. I also didn't like only being able to spend a few hours at port. I'm also not a fan of spending three times as much in alcohol as I did on boarding passes, port fees, and tips, and never catching a buzz.

You do get searched by customs so be careful. you may want to even call ahead of time to see whats the process and whats allowed.

I dont know the whole story but my aunt got stopped after they found a single round of .22. they decided to question her to almost the point of missing the boat.

[Baba Ganoush]

Just have el'Capi'tan bring it on board for you. Apparently they're pro's at getting booze on board.

I've gotten my OCD's under control, dammit! As long as my hands are clean.

Seriously, though, it's a floating motel with staff that do the bare minimum in cleaning. Dust can't build up as much on water, so you don't notice how unclean everything is at first.

The cost for a 5 night cruise for two was twice as much as we spend to go to St. Thomas for a week.
I seriously have an issue with being told what to do, so being told what to eat, when to eat, who to eat with... etc. doesn't work for me when I'm on vacation.
The over abundance of douchebags and dumbbitches with no respect for others really puts a damper on my happy go lucky personality. However, it does leave a lot of room for creeping with no guilt.

The noise doesn't make it into the ship as much as you think. You do notice the vibration to some degree, though. That actually helps you sleep.
My cruise bounced around Katrina. That made it rock enough to scare the crew. Until that happened there was absolutely no indication that we were going over swells. Me and my ex wife were the only two that didn't get sea sick, but we were also smart enough to stay out of our room or hallways. Pot helped as well.

Get the biggest bottle of mouthwash that you can find, then replace the contents with your favorite clear liquor and a drop or two of green or blue food coloring. Pack it in luggage and done.

1. Most people on Carnival ships are under 50, well under in fact. There are a few seniors obviously but they usually stay in the casino or the library.

2. The ships are 900+ feet long and have 11+ decks that you can access and there are several other decks for the crew. So imagine a building that's 3 football fields long and 11+ stories and divide the space by 4,000 people. Yes the buffets are crowded, you can avoid that by eating in the dining rooms.

3. You know exactly when the ships are leaving and they give you an emergency number to call. If you buy an excursion on the ship they won't leave until it's over and you are back. If you go on your own and lose track of time they will generally wait for half an hour or so if you let them know you are coming. No call, lose track of time and get lost though and they will leave without you.

4. All food is included, except for the steak houses on some larger ships. Juice, milk, water, tea and lemonade are free. Booze is about the same as regular bar prices here, not cheap but they also don't serve well drinks. They also have an ice cream/coffee place and it's not free but the prices are very clear and cheaper than Starbucks.

5. Some cabins are noisy, it is a working ship. My last cabin was in the very front of the ship and on deck 2. The waves were breaking over my cabin and there were some loud bangs, I still managed to sleep well though. When they winched out the ropes though it was very loud and the side thrusters shook everything. Don't get a cabin at the bottom of the ship or the very top and stay in the middle and it'll be quiet.

6. Bonine works wonders for most people. I've been a little queasy when we sailed through a tropical storm once but never got sea sick. Just drink a lot, it cures the sea sickness.
