Anyone use those fake shampoo/sunscreen bottles to bring alcohol on a cruise?

I saw this suggestion on a neighborhood listserv and we are going on a cruise this Spring. The one they linked to on the listserv is this:
https://www.amazon.com/Smuggs-Jugs-Disguised-Smuggle-Alcohol/dp/B00DPLHV30/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1547344556&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=fake+shampoo+bottles+for+liquor&psc=1 But I see a lot of options. It seemed like a good idea, they get decent reviews in that they seem to work, but wondering if anyone here has used them with success? The beverage packages are INSANE on this cruise line and they would require everyone on our reservation, including my in-laws who don't drink, to purchase it, putting an alcohol package tab at $2,000+, so obviously we can't do that. And clearly we could just buy a la carte. But just putting the feelers out here! |

I work at a boarding school. I have never seen anything like this and wonder about the point of it. Just use a regular shampoo bottle (that's what the kids do).
One of the cleverer ones we caught used a "feminine wash" bottle, and stashed it in a case with her tampons and pads. If her roomie hadn't ratted her out, we never would have uncapped that one. You are overthinking this. |

+ 1 It’s this kind of thing that makes me never want to go on a cruise, ever! I bet you also go down to the pool first thing in the morning to save chairs with towels, even thought you don’t plan to actually bring your family to the pool until late afternoon? |

Ignore the haters.
I agree you’re overthinking it — just use normal travel sizes liquid containers. |

| Alcohol problem much, OP? |

| Use every bottle you can get your hands on, OP -- including one filled with grain alcohol to disinfect everything you might touch. Cruise ships are germ farms, so you'll need all the help you can get. |

| You can afford the cruise but not the bar tab? WTF? |

| OP and her defenders and apologists are crummy people. |

| If OP is under 25 and female and wants to party it up and hookup it’s ok. Otherwise I would judge him or her as a loser. |

| i'd just buy some clear liquor at ports,and then put it into water bottles and bring on the ship. |

| Use a mouthwash bottle and refill with your alcohol of choice. |

| Just cruise Disney. They allow you to bring alcohol on. And bring more from each port. |
