I agree with all! leave clothes home take some booze. csteever has the right idea bubble wrap and double seal a plastic bag. Take plastic bottles and if possible do it in pints, half pints or those little airline bottles they sell in every liquor store as they can easily be stuffed into a shoe. You really don't need that much to get started, at the first port you can re-load with a couple more pints in the back pocket or purse. after ten Carnivals I have never been stopped getting back on board from a tour unless I voluntarily surrendered it. Where there is a will there is a way! If you are flying with it then definitely buy enough of the tiny bottles and stuff in your shoes to hold you until the first port.
