On my last Carnival cruise (out of Long Beach) I saw people trying to sneak in alcohol in water bottles. I also saw the security person shake the bottle, declare it was alcohol and not water, open and smell and then toss it in a HUGE trash can behind her. I saw this over and over and over. She was checking the walk on luggage. I think if you put it well packed in your "checked" luggage, there will be no problem.I also saw, when we sailed out of New Orleans, there was a liquor shop right on the pier. people would go through the security check in, dump their stuff in their rooms and walk back off and go in the liquor store and come out with tons of bags and carry it right on.
