U can bring liquor in your checked luggage jsut make sure U bubble wrap it and then double ziplock bag it. Any liquor purchased in ports will be confiscated for the most part. The reason I say the most part is it depends on who is heading up the security as I have seen one day where ALL of it is confiscated and the next they let everything thru. For instance on Our 10 Day Dawn P cruise in Jan. the y held a bottle of Coconut Rum for me that I purchased in Barbados. Two days later I had a 6 botlle carry case purchased in St. Maarten consisting of Absolut, Crown Royla, and Balvenie Single Malt and they let mw carry it right to the cabin. So go figure but I will say that most liquor purchases are being held now. They do sell soda drink cards for $20 for the entire week. Yes there are coin laudry facilities onboard. Mini-Suite Amenities will be a no more than your standard fare cabin except for the additional cabin amenities which are a larger cabin with a nice sitting area and 2 TV's. I myself prefer the Caribe Outside Double Cabins with a Large semi-covered balcony that are less costly. As for whether they are worth it strickly depends on your preferences. We spend little time inside the cabin and more time on the balcone when we have on so therefore we opt for a better balcony even if it means sacrificing in the cabin size and amenities. Below is a photo of the mini-suite I was in to give U some idea of the layout. While both cruiselines are VERY Good we ourselves prefer Princess for the 24 Hour Freshwater Pools / Hot Tubs and the Free internet access we receive form Our Playinum Captains Circle status. The # od kids depends on the time of your sailing but the nice thing with the Golden or any Grand Class ship of Princess is that they have some specific separate areas for Adults Only (Terrace Aft Pool) and a nicely segregated area for the kids so they will seem to be invisible many times. BY avoiding the Holiday times (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Presidents Day, Easter) will also alot U a better chance of avoiding a higher $# of kids. Good Luck!!!<img src=http://a1.cpimg.com/image/D9/72/1479641-d75f-02000157-.jpg><img src=http://a2.cpimg.com/image/16/74/1479702-6fff-02000157-.jpg>.
