Just told my wife there’s no way we’re spending $500 on the drink package. Rather spend it on another experience on the cruise. 1 wine full of tequila and another Bourbon will do just fine for me!! Thank you this is great!
When you put that bag in the bottle and was blowing in it, I was like WTF is he doing? Then, ‘pop’. That’s when I realized I was watching a professional! 🤣
@@CelticDruidTempleOfBeliefsnewa last time we went we were late because of the shuttle so we were the last people through security and they rushed us through and didn’t check anything!
We did this on carnival and they confiscated it. Said the liquid (vodka) didn’t have the correct behaviors. Another couple (not with us) brought an actual bottle of wine that was also rejected. I guess it just depends on the day and the security personnel.
There is a tool called a cork remover with 2 flat prongs that go down either side of the cork, you then twist and slowly pull out. They are designed to take out old crumbly corks, but are super easy to use, and dont damage the cork. Worth getting...
This is exactly how I did it except I purchased the seals from Amazon for like $5 for 20. You boiled water and put the seal on and dip it in the water and it shrinks up around the bottle. Doesn’t look tampered with at all.
A FANTASTIC, SUPER IMPRESSIVE HOW-TO video. Wow! My compliments. Normally most strategies for smuggling liquor plain suck-and have all been noted by cruise line security. This one, however, is so perfect that security is only going to look at the bottle, maybe check out the color of the insides, the cork, the foil wrap, and then pass it on, assuming they do that much. I would agree that cruise security just don’t have the time or desire to puncture a bottle that looks sealed to see what is inside (maybe on occasion :)). Wow! This has to be the best technique I’ve seen. I would add one thing (he already covered adding food coloring, but I would put some adhesive on the outer wrap foil to make it even more of a hassle for security to open it, and to make them too embarrassed to go through with it, and to be crazy extra careful, create a top layer of wine, below which sits the hard liquor, a non-permeable barrier, such that if they pour a bit out what they will see is just wine (I have no idea how to do this! ). Again, my compliments. THIS is a strategy that would probably work.
On Royal you can bring up to 12 cans/bottles/cartons of soda/water/redbull or whatever nonalcoholic you like on the ship so don’t buy the soda package either on their ships!!
@@properlybonafidetv7172 I'll admit it wasn't super easy to get the sleeve off, the cork out, or the cork back in. Also was a bit of a hassle getting the corkscrew from room service for some reason. But besides that, it worked flawlessly. I will 100% be using this technique again. Didn't have to worry about getting my liquor confiscated at all. Royal Caribbean was our cruise
@@metaphangmc thank you so kindly! I’m booked on the RC HARMONY OF THE SEAS. I’m already going bill for my daughter who turns 21 and this is her birthday trip. Between the fare, excursions, and travel to port I surely don’t want to pay for cocktails.🎯💗💗
Paul Sanchez Check out my new video to see what happens when you get caught. You’ll have no problem. Just do the wine bottle trick and carry it in. No need to hide it in your luggage.
@@fixinit Just get an "Ah-So" wine opener. They are fairly inexpensive, you can buy it at Walmart or online. It has two prongs that go on the outside of the cork (between the cork and the glass) and then you twist it out. We use them in the restaurant business for opening older bottles of wine where the cork may fall apart.
@@bushysowavvey the ah-so pulls the corky out without penetrating. Then just push the cork back down with your thumb. Alternatively, you could also just use a cork screw, dont penetrate all the way, then push the cork back down. And place the seal back and you're done
We've never had any issue bringing our own booze using the bladders. We've also bought booze in ports & transferred that into bladders to bring on board. The room stewards absolutely dont care. It never occurred to me to swap out the wine in bottles but I'll be trying that.
Yeah my friends have done wine and add food coloring to liquor. However where do you hide the bladder? Can you hide the bottles in your luggage or they check them? My friends have gotten their wine bottles taken for liquor lol idk how they knew
Ohemgee! This might save me $340 because both people in the room have to buy the package. I don't drink much so that kind of kills me. I smuggled fireball in an apple cider vinegar bottle once and it stressed me out so bad! This looks perfectly passable. Thank you!
you know we brought liqour of course light liqour not dark and put in Liter water bottles.And I packed them in my suitcase and locked it.Had no problem.Even went into DR and got more and mixed it into the Orange drink and walked right back on the ship🤣😝
there are wine cork removal tools that don't put holes in the cork. I don't get first shoving the cork into the bottle. Also I wonder how easy it is learn his bag method.
This worked for us, my concern is the color of my whiskey. It is light in a dark bottle. I can tell. What color of food coloring i use to make it darker to go with whiskey color?
if you ever want to demonstrate what being "street wise" is, show this video. I never would have thought about this ever. i do know however instantly noted that 5 x 16 is 80 not "about 70" haha. Great vid man thanks for sharing.
I guess most cruises do allow alcoholic drinks on board but only drinks that you buy from them which could be much more expensive than the same drinks that you can buy at a conveniance store.
Tried yanking cork out 5 times and it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong? Is the grocery bag brand new (flat) or used? I wonder if that’s the reason it isn’t working for me.
The drinking 🍸 package is ridiculous is super expensive 😢.... thanks alot for this video 😊 I am a happy cruiser now now I'm definitely ready for my cruise 🛳
The drink package on my last RCCL cruise was $110 apiece so $220/day times 7= $1540. No frickin' way does that make any sense. We get the soft drink package & boo bourbon. The wine bottle trick works great. I just used screw-top wine with a seal which makes it even easier.
My cruise has never Eve asked me to take my wine out of my carry on I was tempted just to get a screw off and fill it up bc they don’t see to pay any attention
@@jonathanhadaway5830 no Disney I always have it in a rolling carry on and they just scan it through they never have opened my bag to inspect the bottles. I even accidently took bottles larger than they allow but I had instacarted it didn't pay attention then when I got on board realized they were too large all 4 of my bottles and they let me through.
Broo! That cork part coming out was a WHOLE magic trick! Wth!!! I can see myself doing it all wrong! 😂 Thanks for this! Cause i aint paying for that high ass drink package im sorry
The problem with your idea is that the wine cork is to soft to withstand the higher abv of the rum or whatever hard liquor your putting in so the cork will start to deteriorate and break down within a short time and your product is now tainted.
@@fixinit thats good to know, I was reading a comment from a different video that tried this, according to her she did an amazing job making them look legit, but at security they shook the bottle saw bubbles and told her she couldn’t bring those and trashed them 🤷🏽♂️ lol
Because of cruise policy you have to buy alcohol package for every adult that is in your room whether you drink or not. This means If I pay I have to pay $1200 for my one week cruise. What a scam.

Some cruise line exec is watching this video right now trying to figure out if they should ban all alcohol from now on
Total worked , thanks , took 3 try’s to get cork back up it but it work
Dude that was dope like magic I’m heading to Jamaica and I’m ready definitely gonna try it tonight
Dont forget to bring a cork screw!! Carnival wanted to charge me $15 to open my bottle! Luckily a random lady i asked had one.
Imagine they open it for you and smell the booze LOL
Your cabin steward will get one for you for free…
OMG! this is brilliant! Thanks a million! Cheers mate!
Totally doing this ima use malibu rum cause carnival has plenty of lemonade and gava juice i can use for mix and its free!!!
Beautiful. For our 8 day cruise the drink package is $990. 5 of those days are at port. That’s steep for 3.5 days at sea.

Why not just take the original cork completely out( the normal way) and use another one when you redill
and how do you get that cork lol
Wine store
Exactly!! I’m sure Amazon has some
Omg bro worked just like you did it, thanks can wait to try it
I have to practice that bag and a bottle technique. Do you use a plastic bag? I have to rewatch this video so what times to get it to work

Funny thing is Ruffino is a good bottle Of wine I hope it didn’t go to waist
Totally brilliant! Never would have thought of this!
Your the man. Just saved me $1000.
Anybody having trouble getting the cork on? I can get mine back on any advice my cruise is tomorrow lmao
Awesome tip hahah love the tip on how you got the cork out of the botttle

@@fixinit hey bro what's the brand of wine you bought
I'm definitely going to try this for my cruisenext year! Need to make sure i don't forget my corkscrew 😂
So my question is, will the security take the bottle to a light to see if it is a red color in the dark bottle? Even if its sealed?
They have never looked at it. But every port and ship is different so it depends on who’s doing security.
Heads up, on Amazon they sell Wine Corks Tops Sealer (FYI, I know this was 4 years ago).
They still have em 😉… Twist off resellers are a 12 pack for less than $10… Bc I need a twist top for easier convenience…. 🤣🤣🤣

Used to do this when I was in my 20’s and broke. Nowadays I just buy the drink package

You should be fine. Last few times I cruised, they don’t even look.
I would love to hear from others, and the youtuber, what his and others’ experiences has been.
In my experience no one checks carry on bottles. They do check the luggage though.
The cork kept coming out after I sealed it ….any ideas
A question, since you are sealing it, would it be an option to just get a screw top and seal over that?
Not sure if they would leak. But if you’re carrying the bottles upright, shouldn’t be a problem.
Well done sir! Well done!
this guy is a magician 🎩
Thank you ! Will be doing this lol
Did it work ?
That's slick I love it.
Can’t you just use a new cork
does it have to be a corked bottle to take on the cruise or can it be a twist off. I'm struggling getting the cork out. LOL
Not sure about twist offs. Someone in the comments suggested removing the cork as usual and then buying new corks at the wine store.
Have you ever used the clear rum runners?
Not yet
Can I take little bottles of alcohol? Like if I put it in a zip lock bag?
Only wine. No beer or alcohol.
Omg!!!! Best hack on TH-cam!!!
Very well done!
@Fixin It Can I travel on an airplane with this? I plan to fly into another city and take a cruise from there. I want to make these ahead of time.
You will have to put it in your checked luggage. I don’t think you’ll be allowed to go through airport security with liquids.
@@fixinit My question will the cork be an issue once I check it into my luggage due to pressure? I'm all game time for this hack!
It should be ok. I would be more concerned about them breaking due to rough luggage handlers.

Trust me, the liquor is consumed way before any deterioration can occur.
This works and no deteriorating. We’ve done this for years.
Do they check your wine bottles are carry on bags??
No. They just worry about how many. Only 2 allowed per room
Does the wine size matter???
750 ml bottle
most cruise ships allow ONE 750 ml of wine or champagne per person.
