Ya know M.C. I wouldn't think so.  I have never put liquor in anything other than its own bottle except in Key west when we put some vodka in a water bottle.  I have brought bottles on board in ports of call wrapped in a towel stashed in the bottom of my snorkel bag with my fins and mask and never given a second look. I think they're looking more for people who are trying to bring on mass quantities. I really have to doubt that security is going to spend a lot of time sniffing bottles.  Can you imagine how it would slow the boarding process?  I believe that the new regs are more designed to protect the cruise line from liability if somebody gets tanked on their own booze and then gets hurt or falls overboard. You really can't sue the cruise line if you were breaking their rules, I wouldn't think. I also think the bartenders and servers should be diciplined for serving someone who has obviously had to much just as bartenders in any town can be fined.   It also makes me wonder about the policy of giving the "held" liquor to the passengers on the last night of the cruise.  On Miracle back in August there was a girl (mid-20's I'd say) roaming around with a huge open bottle of Crown Royal.  She wandered in to the piano bar and started pouring drinks for everybody!  :cheers 


By the way, if I were you I'd draw the line at mouthwash bottles.  A few years ago a buddy of mine poured whiskey in an empty scope bottle.  He wound up with mint flavored Canadian Club.  Let me know if you notice anything different when you head out on Jewel of the Seas.
