I just saw that the father said they don’t drink and wants to know how his kid had access to alcohol. Looks like he is setttng up a case of blame on the cruise ship for a law suit.
Most likely he made friends with someone older who had a drink package. His card clearly would have indicated he was under 21 and the bartenders would not risk losing their job and having to shell out money to fly back home (fired from a cruise line and they will not pay your way home; same goes if kicked off). For those who never cruise you have to present your card to buy anything, no cash. Father would have seen on his bill any charges if he was served.
Friends of mine take empty "bag in box" wine bags and fill them up with liquor, discard the box, and shove the filled bag in their luggage. They've never had an issue doing this. I'd be too paranoid I might get caught, but I guess the punishment would just involve them throwing it out..?
Some take wine bottles and fill them with liquor. You are allowed a certain number of bottles on board at the start. RC has one bottle per person over 21. However, you still have to buy whatever you might mix it with or drink it on the rocks. I have never had anyone look at the bottles carefully.

That works in most cases! You can simply carry it on board for RCL, no need to hide it in your luggage. I've read a few rare cases where they checked the bottle and person got busted. But in no cases was there a penalty other than confiscation of the bottle.

I did notice that the published policy bans bring onboard beer or liquor but said nothing about wine. Wondering why that is.

I noticed that, too.. I thought "Catholics" but.. that.. Kinda seems silly.
I could see it more on European departing cruises.. They're generally much more wine-centric than we are here in the states.. But.. I'm a touch curious as to the reasoning myself.

Different thing, but we were returning by air to the US from a week in Mexico. I had a couple bottles of tequila in my bag along with a six-pack of beer. They searched my bag and confiscated the beer but the tequila was ok to take. Never understood why that was.

Because the cruise line wants you to pay big bucks for it on the ship.
