On a recent trip to Mexico I witnessed the disembarking of several cruise ships at a destination port while I waited for a ferry. There were a lot of college kids coming off the ships completely s**tfaced drunk, some of them holding Listerine bottles that didn't contain Listerine. The cruise ships obviously didn't care.
We hear stories of drunk college kids at spring break falling off hotel balconies in Florida, let alone a cruise ship.
Why are they drinking out of mouthwash bottles? Is alcohol not allowed on cruise ships?
The cruise ships want to make money off their own liquor, it's not a safety thing. IT's a money thing.
The cruise ships care more than you'd think. They make their money on the casino and bars.
When passengers brink liquor onboard, it's like bringing in candy to a movie theater.
They don't do much to prevent customers from bringing alcohol ON the ship and they probably won't cut off a passenger in the bar but they do care about the $$$.
