technically, NO

but from what i hear on here, people have gotten away with it. I personally think ITS NOT WORTH IT because if you try to hide it from them, they can just kick you off and not let you board at your own expense. They wont be responsible for any costs that you inccur after that.

by the way, royal caribbean personnel can kick you off and not let you back on if you drink too much and its obvious that you are really drunk. so, maybe sneaking on that alcohol isnt such a great idea....

Per the cruise line rules you are not supposed to bring any. That doesn't really stop people from stashing some in their luggage. They will check your carry on bags with an xray machine however.

Do not hide it in your luggage please
now the luggages are Inspected real good and you do not need to be embarrass by the ship police they will disembark you
if you are going to have a good time just do that dishonesty is not a good thing

if you have a special wine or champagne you would like to have with dinner, they will hold it for you, and serve it to you at dinner. As far as taking hard liquor to your room, they don't want you to do that because then you will not purchase their drinks at the bar. Of course that doesn't stop lots of people from stashing it in their luggage. Not only do i take my own liquor onboard, but i also take my own soft drinks and bottled water. They usually supply your room with 2 cokes, 2 diet cokes, and 2 sprites as well as 2 large bottles of water. Those cokes cost you about 1.75 plus 15% gratuity and the water is $3.50 plus 15%. If your room has a mini-bar, all those little bottles of alcohol are not cheap either...a price list will be in your room.

Officially, no, but people do it all the time. It can be confiscated if it's found in your luggage.

Some cruise lines do allow you to bring wine on board, but I don't think Royal does.

No you can't by their rules but yes you can sneak it on. We did it with a spray on sun screen bottle in our checked bags and it wasn't caught and my bag was not opened. I wouldn't walk through security with it BUT security saw I had opened water containers with liquid in it (it was actually water) and they didn't ask me about it or tell me to dump it out or anything(after fretting about sneaking alcohol on I was disappointed!). You can buy wine packages ahead of time and various room packages as well if you'd like that.

Honestly I wouldn't bother unless you are a heavy drinker or really love shots. They don't give you much to mix with unless you buy the soda package and the drinks we found we cheap enough anyway. Mixed drinks were like $6 and they aren't easy on the alcohol either. I'm a reasonable 26 y/o drinker and I spent barely $100 for the whole week. If I were you, I'd just drink in port and go easy on the ship, many ports have drink specials just like in the states. If you are fortunate to go to Mexico you'd be in heaven.
