The cruise is loaded with booze, so I assume you just want to smuggle some on to save money? the mouthwash thing is a good idea, but don't do it to the top because if it's completely full without the wrapper on it, it would look suspicious imho. I've done excursions in all the ports of call except Anchorage. I can make some recommendations there if you like, but really that's personal preference.
