All ready for our trip to the Jersey Shore

Do not try and swim to Europe.
These are useful for sneaking alcohol onto cruise ships.
Do cruise ships check your luggage?
Never knew
Oh yeah, one time I forgot to remove wine from my luggage (you are allowed to bring 2 bottles but it has to be removed and checked at boarding). They took the wine and left us a note in our state room that it would be available at the restaurant if we wanted to drink it for a corkage fee.
Lol, having to pay to drink your own wine.
Would it be a cruise if you weren't overpaying for everything?
The corkage fee is still cheaper than any bottle they sell. But yeah it's a racket. Still a cruise ship is stupid cheap if you don't drink.
Do cruise ships charge for alcohol? I always assumed it was an open-bar affair.
Yes, but they have drink packages you can buy. If you intend to drink a lot, you get the package. Can't speak for all cruise lines, but the ones I've been on have different levels where you get drinks up to a certain cost for free, like $12 a drink. That price and below are free, anything above it you pay the difference. Higher levels cover a higher price per drink.
That totally makes sense. Thanks for the informed reply!
Not sure, never been.
Yes and no. Kind of the same deal as the what the TSA does. Your luggage will get scanned via X-ray or whatever, then it's up to the person looking at the monitor to determine if it needs to be opened or not.
The reason things like this are made is to sneak alcohol past security. I use them at concerts. Seriously I can buy a half gallon of Jager for what 2 mixed drinks cost at a show. I don't even want to get hammered, I just want to watch some bands I like and have a good time without it costing me a small fortune.
Someone's never been to a college football game.
Or maybe you don't give a shit about what you're "known as"?
Or maybe the intention is that no one sees you drinking out of it?
Maybe you just want to avoid paying the completely unjustified scam 1000% markup for drinks at venues?
It's actually useful for drinking on the beach. In my area the cops are supremely dickish about any type of mixed drink or alcohol on beaches.
You are the Lemmy comedian of the day.
I'll be here all week, folks.
I'd use that shit as my water bottle just to make the world a more awkward place.
