Sue, on Royal Caribbean (at least in the Caribbean) you can pay the extra $9.50 service fee to bring a bottle purchased at their duty free shop back to your cabin. That was why I didn't bing any with me. The liter of absolut was $19.45 with the fee. Here in Los Angeles, it is still more, so no point carrying it. And your point about the weight of the bags is well taken. Luggage fees have become a new source of revenue for the airlines.
