White/clear booze like Vodka, regular, clear non flavored is the way to go. Infuse your vodka with fruits do you? Gets a strawberry color? Hmm......there is the Fruit Punch flavored one available.  Oh, you don't want to spend $5 on Pedialite and carefully cut the bottom edge of the plastic seal so when you put the cap back it back on it does not look opened? Happen to have a different colored drink need? No problem. Gatorade to replace medically needed electrolytes anyone? You can tell I have been on way too many cruises. Can't imagine smoking as a hurdle coming even remotely close to the above. Just don't smoke in the room and don't give the smoke a chance to get into the room. Oh, and pack Fabreeze.

I'll have to think on the getting into a bottle without breaking the seal. Also, can you think of a flavor of gatorade that looks like whiskey? I'm stuck on that one.

A few dark colored rootbeer bottles might work for the whiskey. |

Plastic bottle of Apple Juice that I need for medical reasons and they don't have on board readily available for my stateroom. Remember, when doing check in luggage scans, the cruise line checks contents of bags via a large airport type x-ray machine used for luggage when checked in at the airport also. These guys are generally employees of the cruise line and are trained to look for bottles that look like booze. They are not really looking for bottles of gatorade or other similar stuff. The folks checking the carry on stuff are generally port employees, not cruise line, at least from the three ports I have used. They don't care what the heck you bring as long as it is not a weapon and you smile. I always smile as they see my bottles of port. One time was asked, told them it was a special anniversary bottle for the table for the wife and he had just blown the surprise as she was next to me. He turned red, apologized profusely and let me on my way.

No one should feel sorry for them. They do well with me as 5th cruise in 12 months coming up in December.  BTW, The tip for opening bottles at the table with no corkage fee. Simple. The minute I get to the dinner table, I advance tip the waiter, assistant and head waiter. I let them know when the cruise is over, will tip them some more if they make it a memorable time for us. Amazing what that will get you. In three cruises this year on the same ship, they all knew my wife and I and all were incredible with us knowing money was given up front and more to be given at the end. Basically the waiters from the first trip told the ones from the second and the two told the third to look out for money. Those poor guys will do the world for you if you treat them well. Not something all do. Some folks cut out on tip night to avoid it. Hurts me to see that.

NONE of them condone alcohol as that is where they truly make their money, at the bar. All post that clearly for all to see online and in the package you receive when you book your cruise. All will generally confiscate your booze and hold it until the last night or morning of departure. If they choose to, can refuse to allow you to board, period. You ARE allowed to bring wine on board and present it at the dinner table for a corkage fee. Do folks bring booze on checked in luggage? Yeah, of course. Do all get nailed? Nope. Is it openly allowed? No way.
