Bringing wine onto Carnival Cruise

You can bring whatever you want. I brought a case of beer and emptied a couple of 2 liters of sprite and put Crown in the sprite bottles.

I asked the guy who got the bag out of my car, and he opened it and saw everything was sealed under my clothes and he said you are good to go

Cans? Where did you hide it.

You can bring a few bottles on Royal Caribbean, not sure about Carnival, assume they would be the same. The Royal ships charge a corking fee if you bring it to dinner, not sure about the rest.

You can bring bottled water. You can bring canned soda. There is a size limit if you bring a cooler and if it is larger than the allowed size, they will take it. You can bring 2 bottles of wine each.

For liquor I don't even worry about "hiding" it in other bottles. I just keep everything in their original bottles and wrap it good in bubble wrap and pack it.

No problem. I brought two 5ths. You'll still have a $250.00/day bar bill. It's unavoidable. You'll be at the pool and will be unable to resist the $15.00 Mai Tai in the Gorilla coconut.

The absolute best way to go...if you can...is to go with a large group that offers the "All You Can Drink" card!

I did this last year...and doing it again this year and it is the only way to go.

Your group must have over 35 people and every single person in the group must participate in the offer.

Only some travel agents' groups are allowed to use the offer.

For a 5 night cruise the AYCD card was $225 per person. Trust me...if you like to drink at all...it's a bargain! It includes all liquor...even premium stuff.

My husband and I drink Red Bull and vodka. They charge separately for this! They charge $7 a shot for the Grey Goose. They charge $6 a can for the Red Bull. They also put a 15% tip on each drink. So without our bar card, each drink would've run us $14.95!!!!!

We pretty much we got our money's worth on the first day/night!

And it's really nice not having to worry about a budget since you're already paid in advance for it and it's really great not to hold your breath as you see the dreaded "Sail and Sign" bill slip under your door the night before the cruise is over.

I've been on 13 cruises and that is the worst! The party is over and then you see your bill for $1,000 in bar tabs! LOL

Have not heard of this.. Wonder if those radio station cruises do that.. I just check my S&S bill on the TV to see where Im at.. Also there are certain drinks you can order for more milage towards getting drunk like the goombay smash.

LOL I hear ya Woody! I does encourge more drinking! At first we were thinking...gotta get our money's worth...but after the first night we just kept thinking how screwed they must be getting with out group (group of 50 people)!! LOL

Damn 225 though? for a 5 day? We went on a 7 day and brought our own and drank a few specialty drinks and we only had like 80 in drinks on our S&S including a big coconut monkey. We were pretty lit up on most days too and did a booze cruise for good measure...
