They won't let you bring your own. You can buy on the ship but they keep it for you until it's time to leave.

Sorry....

According to all the rules, you may not bring it onboard with you. I wont tell you that if you pack it with your shampoo and other stuff that you have no trouble

you are allowed by most cruise lines to bring a certain amount of water on board. they reserve the right to tell you if it is too much. i have been on 3 cruises and successfully got liquor onboard all three. it is against policy. but..... if you drink clear liquors such as rum, vodka, white tequila, empty the water bottles out and pour the liquor in the them. put them in your carry on in the event they should leak. we did the same thing at all the ports we stopped at because liquor is much cheaper in foreign ports than on board. i also recommend purchasing a soda card onboard the cruise. for a one time fee onboard it will give you unlimited sodas and juice to use as mixers. best of luck!

Actually, it depends on the cruise and their policy. Disney will allow you to bring liquor on, but any you buy in the duty free shop will be held until the end of the cruise. Most of the time you can hide it in your checked luggage but my friends bought mouthwash, emptied the bottle, washed it out, filled it with vodka adn colored it blue...

Been on twp boats. Just got off the liberty 2 weeks ago. Pack it in the middle of your "checked" luggage. They will never find it. You can even leave it in the origianal bottle, they dont care or even look. I put zip ties on my luggage to see if anyone tampered with it. Never did. They dont want to take the time to cut the zip ties. My friend brought an enitre 2 liter bottle of gin on board with him, in the original bottle, just put it in his checked luggage.

You can't bring your own, but as long as you are of age, you can buy plenty once you're on the ship and on the islands.

Sorry to say, but you cannot. My mother tried it, and the crew conphenscated it. What happened was she bought some liquor on port and tried to bring it back. The crew will conphenscate it and you won't get your liquor back until the end of the cruise. If you wanna buy liquor, buy it on board the ship!!! I hope you have the best of fun!!

if you have a wooden leg it will do nicely, if not its illegal...
