Hi Linda and =welcome to Cruise @ddicts. 


I don't think it is so much "cheating the system" as much as it is just convenience and maybe saving a little bit of money.  I have brought bottles on board before just so we could have the convenience of having a cocktail in our cabin rather than going out to a bar.  Sure, it saves me a few dollars here and there but I assure you the cruise lines gets more than enough of my money.  If not in the bar, than at the photo gallery, specialty restaurant, spa etc.  I would agree that bringing a suitcase full of booze is kind of extreme and people have gone missing from the ship after heavy drinking in their cabin.  However,  I don't think that the one bottle of rum in my cabin is going to bankrupt the cruise line :lol
