that seems like a pretty good deal depends on when you go, but there will more than likely be some kids on the ship. drinks werent as bad as i thought they were going to be. coors/bud was 4 bottles for ~12 bucks. the carnival drink of the day thing was btw 5 and 10, but they were usually loaded with alcohol. we brought a few bottles on board in the luggage too, just lock that shit up and they will never see it. we did all the tips in advance, no one asked for anything on the ship. ---

> [@dreid](#): > > you can drink wherever u want on the boat. spec drinks are like 8 bucks each in the keep sake glass. my wife and I spend 350 for the week and we drunk light. Pop pass is 20 dollars for unlimited pop all week. if you buy bottles on the boat, they lock them up til u get off. Same if you buy bottles on islands. they take them. You an bring on up to 2 bottles i believe. When you go to dinner, tell your waiter you cant make up your mind and they’ll ask you what 2 entrees you would like. We had a guy next to us do this every single nite we were on the boat. the pop pass for us was like $45 for a week (each) :cjerk: i got 2 entrees once or twice, i dont think there is a limit on that ---

> [@originalsin](#): > > hmmm so they dont rly check your bags?? was it carnival that you snuck the bottles on?? yep, carnival. between 5 of us we brought 4 bottles no problems. i had my bottle in my luggage on the plane, and then locked the suitcases before we got to port. carnival even says to lock your bags, so im not sure when they would check them. ---

Royal Caribbean told us that they will scan and search any baggage, and check you at every port. They really do not want you to have your own shit. $$$$ in their pockets. We are going to the St. Thomas, St. Martin etc… strip of islands in October. just about $1000 each. This will be a little better for us as my brother is getting married on an island so we have open bar one night for that, and my parents are covering open bar for another night. 2/5 free aint bad. ---

2 years ago on royal carribean, at the ports they never searched us, I could have brought my girls purse full of hash and they wouldnt have known. ---

Yeah, not seeing the problem. Sneaking it on the ship is a piece of cake. Shampoo bottles with whiskey, body wash with 151. Do yourself a favor and leave the faggy Tequila Rose at home and only bring the hard stuff. If you really want to take a chance, you can fill ziploc bags with clear liquid and put them in your luggage. Take extra precautions to make sure they don’t open, and use ones with very meager linings. You could bring more than one would imagine this way. ---

on carnival you can get buckets of beer, they are $20 for 4 16 oz beers (tip included). Also in my experience, the drinks on the carnival cruises I went on were nice and strong, they didnt skimp on the alcohol. ---
