Was having to go back to your room to make a drink a pain in the arse? I feel like it would be. If not, how did you get around that?

When I went on a cruise we used the rum runner flasks. With the cruise kit you get 3 - 32 oz flasks, 3 - 8 oz flasks and a funnel. We carried the 8 oz flasks with us pretty much everywhere on and off the ship. They easily fit in your pocket or snorkel gear in my case.

In the large flasks we filled one with rum, one with Crown Royal and brought a fifth of Wild Turkey American Honey for shots in the other. We also filled the 8 oz flasks with the same so we didn't have to do it first thing on the ship.

It was a 7-day and we got a few of the "drink of the day" which were all pretty darn good and a snorkeling excursion had free beer and shots. Between the "DOD", provided drinks on excursions, trips to the Dollar bar and Carlos and Charlies we came home with probably about half of the liquor that we brought with us. Didn't stay smashed the whole time but if felt like a drink or buzz it was available for cheap since we got the "all-you-can-drink soda card".

With the 8 oz flasks its no problem carrying them around getting a coke and pouring some alcohol in it. Probably wouldn't want to sit at the bar and do it right in front of the bartender, but if you're discreet it won't be a problem.

I saw some people at a table near us that got on an elevator a couple/few times and they would be right back. One time they did it I asked them if they were making sure the evacuation or escape route was clear and they told me that it was where they were making their drinks. We did it a couple times but it wasn't really necessary. But they didn't have flasks so for them their options were probably the bathroom (which would have appeared strange to bring your cokes), elevator or going back to their cabin.
