IMO, it will all depend if the inspector or whoever is screening your luggage is having a bad hair day or not.

If you put a bottle in your luggage that is being sent through and put clothes around it you might get lucky. If you try to bring a couple or more bottles on you are going to get busted. Let's put it this way: when I do a group cruise I tell the group, if you want to try and get in on, that is your choice, but don't come whining if you do get busted. probably a bar set up, which we use, is a better bet, but it is more expensive.

The inspector has nothing to do with it. They put your bags through an airport type x ray scanner which clearly shows the outline of a glass bottle no matter what you cover it with. Take wine in a box and you get through everytime.

I think what Suer meant was it depends on whether the person inspecting the bags as they go through the X ray machine is having a good day and deciding not to pull the bag or if he/she wants to be a jerk...

It seems, from our experience a few weeks ago, NCL is checking even more closely than in times past. Other lines are starting to do the same. there are ways to get it aboard I have heard, shall not put the ideas in writing.. no reason to advertise this and find NCL cracking down even more. :)-D

So what happens if you do get busted? What do they do? I heard they confiscate it a give it back to you on your return

yes, that is what they do, they will ask you to come to the naughty room and open your luggage. If, indeed booze is found you will be given a note advising you when and where to pick it up at the end of the cruise. The biggest problem is the time you lose just going to the little naughty room with all the others.
