‘I’m a veteran cruiser – I learned about this money saving hack and now it’s my favorite’

A cruise veteran who has been travelling the seas for two decades spilled her best kept secrets for saving money on board.
“Even as a veteran cruiser who has been on 46 cruises, I am still learning new travel hacks!” Allie Hubers wrote for Cruise Blog. “I am always surprised when I learn something new, as I’ve been cruising for two decades.”
Hubers, who has been on more than 45 cruise trips around the world, revealed how she handles her liquor on board.
She says she recently learned that you can bring wine on board certain cruises.
“I am a rule follower, so I have never tried to sneak alcohol onto a cruise ship (since this is strictly forbidden),” she wrote. “Alcohol is one of the biggest revenue drivers for cruise lines, so it’s not a shock they are strict about bringing liquor onboard.
“Considering cruise lines are very stringent about bringing alcohol onboard, I was surprised to learn that you could bring your own wine aboard a ship.”
However, she explains most mainstream cruise lines only allow guests to bring one bottle of 750 ml wine or champagne on embarkation day.
