Using "Rum Runners" on a cruise

[deadjoe]

Going on a cruise soon, has anyone had experience using "rum runners" to sneak booze onto the ship?  Is it worth the effort?  Does anyone have one I can borrow or buy?  Are they sold in Atl?  Not looking forward to the huge bar tabs I'm sure to get.

What I usually do, is stop at the port of calls that have duty free shops and buy it there. Baggy shorts and a properly placed towel will get you through.

Can't you treat it like a college football game and bring in an ass pocket plastic flask like a civilized adult?

That's not going to get you through a cruise.

I come close to killing that particular type flask by halftime.
How in the hell is that supposed to last a full cruise?

It was a joke. The whole thing seems silly to me. Part of my motivation for quitting smoking was not wanting to be so dependant on any substance that I'd have to ever go to lengths worrying about avoiding being apart from that substance.

Booze is not important enough to me to necessitate this type of planning. If I had to be without it for a while, meh, who cares. When I was a smoker, there were all kinds of times when I had to contemplate elaborate, time- and energy-wastey, and generally lame things just to make sure I could have a cigarette when i wanted one.

Anything that matters so much to you that it requires thinking about filling up large amounts of liquid for in secret containers = unfonzies up your good times.

Just how expensive are drinks on a cruise?

dude, we're talking about a freakin' cruise. A vacation. A floating party.
(also, both of my first two responses were meant to be humorous, not argumentative.)

I just see the necessity of sneaking booze aboard a cruise ship as a way of avoiding the exorbitant cost of alcohol on a cruise ship as yet another reason to just avoid cruise ships altogether.

This is my take as well.

Yeah... I hear you. Charley and I talked about taking a cruise as we got some great deals through work... I just think I'd be kind of bored ... It's like Vegas on water but with stupid shows instead of decent ones. I shouldn't say though, since I've never been on one...

Somebody I know recently went on one that stopped someplace cool nearly every day. I could handle that. Otherwise I'll just rent a condo on the beach.
