does Celebrity check your bags to see if you are bringing pop or liquor aboard? I know there are fridges in each cabin. It sure would be nice to stock it!

I don't know to what extent they go to in the hunt for liquor, but my wife has carried on six packs of pop in clear site and not a word has been said. In San Juan we carried on a case of pop no problem. We left the left overs for our cabin steward. Liqour on the other hand, I don't know. The fridges in the rooms are pretty much stocked full.
Good Luck

Just returned from the Century two weeks ago. Two of my friends in another cabin brought a bottle of vodka on board as well as soft drinks and no one said a word. They even asked the steward to empty the refrigerator so they could put their drinks inside and he immediately did so.

thank you so much for your imput!
I started adding up the cost of pop and liquor, and thought i could save a bundle bringing it on my own. I would want the cabin steward to empty the fridge anyway..stocked fridges are too tempting!

We have always brought pop, bottled water and wine on board. I would recommend checking hard liquor.

Personal experience
1) Take liquor aboard in Luggage. No problem
2) Have taken liguor (max two bottles and usually only one) in carry on out of sight. If found by security always confirm with them what it is and ensure them there will be no problem with me taking it aboard its just for use in our cabin. Also insuring that it is never seen by others and we are never overheard. Never a problem.
3. Beer same as (2) never more than a doz. and not combined with liquor.

Sounds like when I was a kid sneaking drinks. If I was at a hotel or resort I go out and buy what ever I want and bring it to the room. That is the same room that I am paying a lot of money for. Two to Three thousand or more a week and we have to sneak liquor on board. What next my pack of smokes? .

BP - Although we don't agree on the smoking (keep it away from me and I don't care). It seems the cruise lines are trying to (already haved) change the cruise experience and are always looking at the bottom line (profit, profit and profit). To do this they are trying to convert the cruise experience to the resort experience while at the same time not allowing the adult freedom (because of the loss of $$$) to bring liquor to your room. In the past here never had been a question if you wanted to bring aboard something to sip on while you were getting ready for dinner (we all dressed then). The cruise experience as we knew it is no longer available on the more popular lines. They want to treat us as children/ while exploiting the "CRUISE EXPERIENCE". Really they just don't want they small loss of profit this could bring about.
The only way to beat this is to rebel - or as we are doing, looking to the higher end lines.

We always bring 2 bottles of vodka in our carry-on bags.....never thought anything of it...trust me, we still spend a bundle at the bars, wine during dinner, etc. I agree that it's starting to sound like we're a bunch of kids sneaking it aboard. Baloney!!!! We bring our own to hotels that we stay at, too. Aren't cruise ships floating hotels? I resent having an automatic 15% tip put on a bar tab......usually we're better tippers than that, but ONLY at our discretion. As long as you're not backing up a Miller Light, Coors or whatever semi to the loading dock, I don't see that it's any of the cruise lines business what I pack for refreshments to come on board. Ok...amen

hi, we were on the summit last jan. and at that time they made it very clear that no liquor was to be brought on board. also, you could buy liquor in the onboard shop but it would be delivered to your cabin the last night. i understand things have changed since then.
my husband pours my scotch into a plastic vodka bottle (breakage) and then in a plastic freezer bag (leakage). it gets packed into our non carryon luggage.
we don't do it so much to save money, although on a ten day cruise, thats part of it. we like it because of the convienience. we always have one or two drinks while we are getting ready for dinner (on a cruise) and don't really care to call room service. 1, our drinks are better and 2, who wants the cabin steward knocking on the door while you are dressing or in the shower. i can make a drink in 30 seconds. why go thru all that?
we leave plenty of money at the pool bar and casino. if we didn't have it in the cabin, we wouldn't order it anyway so they are losing nothing.
someone on a previous post mentioned that it is the captain of the ship that decides about bringing liquor on board, not the cruiseline. i hope the captain on the galaxy wants us to have a good time!!!! brigitte
ps my husband has learned something over the years. he asks the cabin steward where the ice machine is and he always gets his own. that helps after a late night in the casino and also while we are getting ready for late seating and they are busy making up the cabins for the early seating guests. (sorry this was so long)
