What is a TATE, or a TATEr? I am guessing a Talk About The Eagles type from the PE boards.

It's a term that super football message board computer dorks use when they, for no apparent reason, think their opinions are much more valid than other football message board computer geeks.

Drinks are expensive on a cruise, yes... but don't try to bring a whole bar with you or anything.  It will piss them off if you do get caught.  And for the love of God, don't toss the empty in your stateroom's trash.

If you have a bottle of booze in your room, usually the stewards are pretty cool about that. Just keep it out of sight. And throw it out in your cabin's trash at the end of the cruise. No problem.

Depending on the cruise line, you can bring a couple bottles of wine on board with no problem. You can even bring one to dinner and have the waiter open it for you. But the waiter can charge you something like a $10 corkage fee if he wants to. The trick is to get to know the guy for a couple of days, so he's cool with you. Then you shouldn't have any problems with bringing your own wine...especially if you'd previously bought some for dinner.

Remember that US Customs does allow you to bring back (I think) two bottles per adult without duty. You have to declare it in the official customs form, though. Just carry it all out where the customs people can see it when you disembark, and it's all good. Don't think you can sneak some out in your bag. Customs looks through bags pretty thoroughly these days, and you're sure to get caught there.

i smuggled a box of 12 cubans back with me a few months ago and didn't even bother to take the labels off.  i don't think customs really cares if its something small obviously for your personal use.   my buddy just brought back 3 bottles of absinthe from prague and had no troubles at all.
