K… so what if you bring aboard “screw cap” wine or champagne? How much do they charge to unscrew it? An exorbitant amount, I am sure. So in other words, they are gonna screw you, to unskrew you.

Did you pack the vodka, or just carry it on? I am traveling with a family of 5 (3teens) and was thinking of packing or takeing a case of water? Would that be a moderat amount? Laurah

The original beef was with Carnival’s ban on ALL liquids, not just alcohol.

But really, you don’t make a Carnival cruise sound very appealing. All these drunks vomiting around you, and you still took 25 trips with them? Wow. Suit yourself!

After 25 Carnival cruises I can see why they must restrict the drinkers. They are usually unruly, rude and destroy the ship any way they want to. We have seen numerous amounts of vomit, trash and destruction by these so called adults. And any booze bought in any port is taken upon reboarding by ALL CRUISE LINES. This is a US Customs issue not cruise line. Travel a few times and see why they must have rules. The biggest problem is they don’t enforce them in fear of insulting the drunks. Please know your facts before yiking and belly aching.

Well, doesn’t that just frost your flakes. certainly leaves those of us who are limited by dietary requirements and personal taste to nothing with sugar and/or caffeine to consume only water! Hope we find out something different before we cruise with them this coming Fall leaving from Rome, Italy.

we took a carnival cruise in feb and had no problem bringing several bottles of wine (4) and a bottle of vodka aboard.

they do, however, very carefully check you when you return from ports of call, so if you want to bring alcohol, your best bet is to do so in moderate quantities during your embarkation.
