We have checked a case of bottled water with our luggage in the past, it it still an ok thing to do?

I'll bet your kids are equally excited. 😁

Oh yeah!

I was just able to get 2 connecting Balcony Cabins for the price I paid a few months ago for 1 balcony on the Jewel of the Seas. 
Now my husband and I don't have to share a cabin with our stinky boys!

I enjoy my Dasani bottled water that I like to keep in the little fridge and enjoy at night I dislike the ship's bottled water. But I also don't have a problem with the ship's water with ice during the day or at dinner.

 

I have been tossing 6-8 bottles of Dasani in a handled tote bag as checked luggage for years now with no problem being delivered. I do make sure the water is separate from my regular checked bags...in case it goes down to the "naughty room"...which it finally did on my Oasis cruise last week.

 

Not being in any hurry to get it, I went down when there were no lines, opened it up in front of the security personal...and they let me take it once he saw it was indeed water. I also had two very small box wines in the bag also...which is allowed and he let me take that too. ;)

That is awesome! I love Dasani too! Glad to hear the ice water in and around the ship is good to drink.

It varies cruise to cruise and port to port. What ship are you boarding? I saw people doing this no problem in most ports. I've heard stories from reliable sources things can change around spring break, but obviously that doesn't apply to your cruise.

Sorry, we are on Adventure of the Seas out of San Juan on Dec 16th.

We cruise in 8 days! The last time we cruised with RC (8 years ago), we were allowed to bring our own bottled water and soda...I'm a Pepsi girl;p.

I have been told you can no longer do this, but is that a hard fast rule, or merely a suggestion? Should we just bring some and see what happens?

Yes, we did. I couldn’t find anywhere to book it independently.

I am referring to the Railway on ST. Kitts post, since it only quoted your reply ;)

I looked at the railway site and they said if you are cruising, you had to book through your cruise line.

(Of course I can't find the link now)
