If you have a jacket with deep pockets, consider hiding it in there. That way if they do search your bag it's one more obstacle for them to search in a sea of luggages to search.
Listerine bottles. Silver tequila, light rum, vodka, etc and dye with appropriate food coloring. Using rumpleminz will ensure you don't get it jacked.
it'll taste like listerine the whole trip if you do it wrong, and that's more than likely. if its Carnival, just throw that bad boy in your bag
You'll get a letter sent to your cabin saying you can pick up the alcohol on the last night of the cruise. That's it. Except on the brand new Royal Caribbean ships. On those, they won't deliver the bags to your room and instead will make you come to the front desk to pick them up. Then they'll give you some spiel about picking up the alcohol on the last night. Again though, that's only on their brand new ships.
So basically if you are going in Carnival, you might as well atleast try. Im going on one of the newer ships in 2013 (Carnival Magic).
Went on a carnival cruise. I put rum into sprite bottles and put it in my checked bag. No issues. Their drinks are overpriced
Not sure if its been said yet, but buy a bunch of IV bags. Fill with vodka, clear rum, and tequilla. Because of HIPAA and privacy shit, they aren't going to test your IV bags,
sneaking alcohol on a cruise ship is incredibly easy. its nothing like airplane security, nobody gives a shit.
This is probably the best solution as the wine bottles are usually dark anyways. Just make sure to get a bottle with easy to remove foil over the cork. The mouthwash bottle idea is too obvious now.
Going on a carnival cruise out of charleston Monday. We got rum runners for our trip. Hope they make it.
I bought 2 packs of water bottles. Use knife to puncture one bottle so you can drain the water and squeeze it to get it out of the package without opening the outer packaging. Once that bottle is out, it's easy to get the other 11 out. Refill bottles with alcohol and put them back into packaging. It will look brand new. The 12th bottle is the only one that you'll need to fiddle with a bit to make it go inside without tearing the outer packaging, but it is pretty easy (much easier than it would be to remove it while full).
lolwut. Airports don't give a flying fuck about alcohol as long as it is under their 3oz limit. I had the whole front half of my backpack full of minis on my flight to phoenix last year.
i dont know anything about airplane liquor policies. i was saying you can smuggle anything you want into cruise ships. unlike airports, they dont give a fuck.
You're paid $2.378 million dollars a year to catch passes not to evaluate cruise line baggage screening processes.
Forget about washing out a shampoo or Listerine bottle you can never get the taste out. Google Shampbooze or Smuggle Mug. Used mine last week and worked perfectly.
To @941Gator's credit, they checked some bags. But most of us got through unscathed. I buried a handle in between my clothes and I doubt they ever even opened my bag. Others had shampoo bottles checked. I guess its just a matter of luck.
i would always follow the lead of drug smugglers and fill up a series of condoms with alcohol, and then swallow them
i had a cop in the parking lot apparently stake us out and watched me ball-sack a bottle of moonshine. he waited until i got near the check-in and pulled up to me. smelled the bottle, gave me a strange look, and asked me to dump it.
How does it work on cruises? Do they x-ray checked and carry-on bags and then look for liquids? Do you have to go through a metal detector also? I'm just asking because that website just sells plastic pouches with a screw top. How do you sneak them on them if they're physically searching bags. Shoving them in your pockets seems rather obvious without insisting you're hung like a horse.
i've said it already on here plastic flexible flasks are the way to go. shampoo bottles can get your vodka tasting like head and shoulders even if you wash it well
Just got back from one a couple of weeks ago and they were as strict on it this time as I have ever seen in 5 cruises. It was mostly luck from what I saw this last time. Saw almost every usual trick get busted at check-in. Even the '4 middle bottles filled in an unopened 12 pack of bottled water' trick failed. Saw them open one guys 12 pack of water (still in the plastic shrink wrap) and open every bottle and smell. So basically dont try anything in your carry on at all. Checked bags were also a crap shoot this time as well. Talked to 3 guys in the same group who did the listerine bottles and one guys got took while the other 2 didnt. And they all packed the same way. There were a few others as well that I talked to who had their shit taken from checked bags too. Im sure its happened before but this was the first time I had heard of shit taken from checked bags. Safest thing I know of now is you're allowed 2 bottles of wine (or it may be 1 per person, cant remember) but all I know of would be to fill those and somehow recork without making it look like it was tampered with.
When I was in pharmacy school, a group of my friends went on a cruise and smuggled a shit load of booze on to their ship. Their method... print a bunch of prescription labels and slap them on amber vials. Then fill the large amber prescription vials with booze. They didn't even get questioned.
Buy a couple bottles of Martinelli's Apple Cider, pop the top, and drink/empty out the juice. Buy a bottle top fastener from a brewery shop and re-install the bottle caps after filling with your favorite alcohol. The bottle is dark anyways. This works well with a wine with a bottle cap though I can't remember any brands.
