[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alcohol problem much, OP?[/quote]

It would take a lot of alcohol to get me to enjoy a cruise. [/quote]

OP here. Yeah, this is kind of where I"m coming from.

You all are harsh. I've never been on a cruise, hate the idea of it, trying to suck it up for my in-laws, for whom this will be their last vacation. They've moved into assisted living and are in failing health. This will be their last hurrah, and neither my husband nor I are cruise people and not exactly looking forward to that portion of it. But we're happy to spend the time with them.

From my friends who do cruise they say "oh, everyone sneaks it on." Then I saw this on the neighborhood listserv and thought, well, hell, with such a market for these products, people must really sneak stuff on I guess.

I guess not, based on what I'm hearing here. No, we are not alcoholics, which is why there is no hell way we're paying $2,000+ for alcohol. Yes, that's their policy - this is on Norwegian Cruise lines, and since my in-laws made all of the reservations, we would all be required to purchase. But I'm unapologetic that if I have to endure this cruise, I might as well drink.

It's not "necessary" but it's vacation and a la carte it is. (I do see they allow wine, but that's all they allow you take on board. Not even water.)

Thanks for the reality check. You can all go about your day now.[/quote]

DCUM is full of hags who like nothing better than to harp on someone else for everything.

Seriously, the only "cruise" I've been on was with the Navy, and I have no desire to ever do one.  If I were in your situation, I would likely do what you are. Just empty out a shampoo/conditioner or similar, or do the "feminine" wash bottle or similar.  It would take a LOT of alcohol to get me through it, and I literally haven't had a drink in weeks (because I'm just living a normal life at the moment).[/quote]
