Travel Forum / Travel Types / Cruises / July 2008Taking liquor aboard the ship
A friend sent me this URL, and I immediately seized upon it as a great thing to take on a cruise. Much has been written about smuggling liquor aboard a cruise ship, and this would be a good way to do it. It also ties into the "pregnant woman" thread, since gals could wear it and just claim they're a little bit pregnant. <grin> From my experience, it would hold enough gin, rum or Scotch to last out a 7-day cruise. For those of us who need two liquors, a second one could be worn BACKWARDS, looking like a fat rump. http://www.shop.coolerfun.com/product.sc?productId=26  SignatureNonny Nonnymus I'm not who you think I am.

I was in an Old Country Buffet last night. Seated next to me, was a man who looked like he must have been at least 350 lbs. If he was any bigger, he's\d need to carry his labonza in a wheel barrel. So, I believe that a fake beer gut could be placed on top of a natural one. Signature________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

Okay, 16 year old girl comes in for a chest x-ray. Policy is to first separate her from the parents (easy enough to do, "please stay here and we'll be back") and then ask "is there any chance you might be pregnant?". So she says "I hope so". Crap. Grab a nurse, get her to do a quick stick test. Negative. But parents wanted to know why a test that I can do in about 4 minutes took 15.

If you're an alcoholic, the fifth of booze a day can be rather expensive when purchased in the form of bar drinks. I don't see how you're going to bring aboard enough to make it worth the trouble. >You pay, what $4K - $6K per cruise? What's the big deal about an extra >few $$$ for booze? It's having it when you want it and not being treated like a child. Bringing your own booze is that not like bringing your own hamburger when visiting McDonalds ?? Why would a Cruise ship allow you to be in direct competition with their income. Alcohol is available 24 hours a day, the people that want their own booze are just cheaper than dirt. Just my $0.02 Jaap >>You pay, what $4K - $6K per cruise?

I don't think it's any worse then when we take popcorn and Diet Pepsi to the movies, instead of buying the expensive stuff at the concession stand. Mrs. Nonny has a very large blouse she wears, which she tucks in and we stuff with popcorn. At the movies, people just think we're "in love," when in reality I'm digging out the popcorn. I prefer to carry the two cans of Diet Pepsi in my shorts. It gives me a "come hither," look that the young babes appreciate as I walk across the lobby. Jaap, we tried it the other way, with Mrs. Nonny carrying the Diet Pepsi in the blouse and me stuffing my drawers with the popcorn. That didn't work out well, for obvious reasons I'd prefer not to discuss. SignatureNonny Nonnymus I'm not who you think I am. I'm not who I think I am.

The cruise lines could argue that by disallowing liquor they're retaining control of who drinks how much (they can cut you off if you look like you're getting drunk enough to fall overboard), but that argument fails if they sell bottles of liquor themselves. So it's about greed.

On a serious point, at least three hotels I've stayed in LA in the past year all had a little notice in their room service menu that said that the state law prohibited the guest from bringing in outside beverages and that they reserved the right to charge a $200 "service fee" if drinks not purchased from the hotel were consumed in the room. Which is a ceramic pottery filled with organic fertilizer. Of course, all of these hotels were in the $300+ a night range. At the other extreme was the Super 8 in Plainfield, IN that lists the 5 closest places to buy beer, wine and liquor. Of course, that was only $175/night. > I don't think it's any >worse then when we take popcorn and Diet Pepsi to the movies, instead of [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Diet Pepsi in my shorts.
