I will happily buy drinks in the hotel / ship bar (if I ever do go on a cruise) but I sure as hell do not want anyone to tell me what I can or cannot bring into my room, as long as it is legal. And one of my pet peeves in hotels is being charged for wifi in a $300/night hotel (as was the case during my recent trip to Washington) when I can get it for free at every McDonalds or Starbucks.
