WOMAN REMOVED FROM CRUISE FOR RUNNING HER OWN BAR OUT OF HER CABIN
WOMAN REMOVED FROM CRUISE FOR RUNNING HER OWN BAR OUT OF HER CABIN PORT CANAVERAL, FL — Kimberly Dawes, 41, was escorted off a Caribbean cruise after crew discovered she had converted her cabin into a fully operational bar, complete with a handwritten price list and a signature cocktail named after herself. dresser top held six full liquor bottles smuggled in checked luggage laminated sign read "CAPTAIN'S COCKTAILS, $5, ASK FOR THE STOWAWAY" Dawes reportedly served at least 30 guests over two days using hotel cups ice was allegedly obtained by "befriending" the housekeeping staff ledger found in her suitcase tracked profits down to the dollar Fellow passengers say word of "the cabin bar" spread across three decks by the second night, with a line reportedly forming outside her door before crew intervened. "We've confiscated liquor before, we've broken up pool deck parties," said cruise security officer Hank Delory, 12 years with the cruise line. "We have never shut down an actual functioning small business at sea." Dawes was put ashore at the next port along with her remaining inventory, which was logged, photographed, and confiscated by security before she disembarked. She reportedly asked for an itemized receipt so she could "file it as a business loss." The cruise line has since updated its onboard guidelines to explicitly prohibit "unauthorized beverage service" from private cabins, a clause staff say did not previously exist. Some people go on vacation to relax. Kimberly went into hospitality, briefly, and business was booming.
