Carnival Cruise Line to ban bringing bottled drinks onboard

Report: Carnival Cruise Line to ban bringing bottled drinks aboard to cut down on passengers sneaking alcohol
LINK
quote:
The days of creatively toting alcohol onto a Carnival cruise ship are numbered.
Starting this summer, Carnival is banning passengers from bringing bottled beverages aboard its ships, according to a USA Today report.
The ban will begin July 9, the report said. Carnival will still allow passengers to bring a bottle of wine or champagne.
Carnival's ban means passengers can no longer bring bottled water, soda or any non-alcoholic bottled drinks with them. If those drinks are in cans or cartons, though, it's OK to bring them aboard.

The water bottle method when it first started was very effective, but has since been figured out. I agree with the article that for the most part it was just a hassle and delay at embarkation.

this puts an end to any future cruising options IMO.

I have never cruised, is alcohol that expensive on a ship? So expensive you have to sneak it in?

Fill scope bottle with vodka, add blue food coloring.

How about they stop being assholes and charging $8 for a beer and maybe people will be willing to buy the booze on the ship.

Some people at work went on a Carnival Cruise last year and spent a week cleaning out shampoo bottles and sunscreen bottles to sneak on their alcohol. Exhibit A of why I don't go on these things with these trashy arse people.

Why don't you just shove a vodka soaked tampon up your arse like a real man?

Rum runners work way better anyway. I've been with a group that got 10 bags through with 2 in each bag. And tons of people were getting busted around us with regular bottles.

I find this interesting, I just went on a Disney Cruise, and they let you bring in as much alcohol and drinks that you could fit into your carry on.

Such a sad day. I think the first OT thread I ever read was on sneaking booze on in water bottles.
Posted on 6/9/15 at 1:40 pm to Slinky
aawwww, they have finally figured out the vodka in the water bottles.

I just got off of cruise a few days ago (not Carnival, which from my understanding brings together an incredibly low-class segment of society). The trip was organized by my family. While I certainly had a nice time, I can unequivocally say the trip was my first and last on cruise-liner.
I understand why people try to sneak alcohol aboard. While the prices on the ship weren't completely outrageous, they weren't exactly cheap either. IIRC, a bottle of Budweiser was $5.95. Cocktails ranged from $7.00 - $15.00 with VERY meticulously measured small portions of alcohol. There was an "all-inclusive" daily alcohol package offered for $50. But the catch was that you were obligated to buy it everyday if you went that route. $50 x 7 = $350. Maybe not a horrible deal (relatively speaking) if you planned on getting shite-faced on the boat, but it didn't make much sense to buy when 4 of the 7 days we were on land all day.
Again, I'm glad I went and was grateful that my family included me in the experience. However, the on ship experience felt much like a floating daily time share pitch.

I always smuggle liquor on board, and have never brought on bottles.
