Besides the fact that they are cesspools of disease and infection?

Yes. Those of us with solid immune systems don't worry about such things.

The Alaska cruise I just went on with Princess was pretty damn awesome.

Going on my first cruise starting this weekend departing out of Puerto Rico for 7 days. Plan on bringing a nice big bottle of mouthwash.

I am excited for it

C'mon guys, you don't need alcohol to have fun!!!

maybe not. but it certainly makes fun times funnerer.

I could have so much fun without alcohol on a cruise ship....if not for the *******s everywhere testing my patience.

That is why we require alcohol. So the other *******s cannot ruin our fun.

Just tip one of the bag boys $20 to get alcohol to your room.

While unloading for a cruise one of the bag guys noticed we still had a 12 pack of beer we were finishing off. He said if we tipped him that he would make sure it got to the room. We immediately realized the opportunity we had.

Two of the guys left and headed straight to Walmart. They bought two large Rubber Maid tubs and floored it over to the nearest liquor store. They loaded one up full of liquor and the other full of beer.

We found the same guy and gave him like $60 or $80 I think. When we got on board sure enough both were in one of the rooms. He also left a note giving us instructions on who to contact to have buckets of ice regularly brought to the room and a suggestion to leave a suitcase on top of the containers so no housekeeping staff would mess with things.

It was a large group of us but we saved well over a thousand bucks. Drinks are crazy expensive on cruises.

*Added bonus....go to the bar onboard and belly up next to some attractive ladies. Make small talk. Order some of the 5-10 dollar beers then complain about it to each other. Say "Screw this. Lets just go back to the room to drink. You ladies want to come with?" It worked every time and the end results...well they were nice.*

Rum runners or platypus bags are the best way hands down.

However that being said. Royal caribbeans unlimited package is hard to beat. If you like to drink that is.

Grease money is substantially less ghetto than trying to be sneaky. Note that the losers slinging your bags make terrible money (Marshall Islands or Liberia or Bahamian or wherever the ship is flagged minimum wage). $100 in grease money will probably get you as much booze as you want.

Mouthwash, contact lens solution, shampoo, conditioner, body wash... this is what people will be bring instead.

i have a friend that does this on every cruise.

Also, buy the packs of coke that fit in the fridge. Carefully take apart the back flap and fill with beer cans, except for where the opening is on top for the handle. Put two cokes in where the handle hole is, and then glue the flap back shut.

Won't work. They take out and inspect each can. And don't try to reseal a 20 bottle they check that.

And if you try and fill a mouthwash or shampoo bottle. Get ready to drink mouthwash and shampoo flavored alcohol. I don't care how many times you wash it. Will still be there.

I've been on two cruises, and while I am not really of fan of cruising its not because of the reasons that most of the idiots on this thread point out. I'm sure most of them are just cashing in on the mob mentality that is texags.

Been on both RC and Carnival and I did prefer the RC one better the differences we marginal.

It's easier to buy the beer.

It seems like every cruise I've been on had a hairy fat man who resembled Super Mario dressed in nothing but a Speedo and flip-flops standing in the line for the lunch buffet. Are those guys placed there by the cruise lines to help dial back appetites and reduce the amount of food taken from the buffet or something?
