Newport RI Port

I am booked for a Princess Cruise out of NYC next month. First stop is Newport, RI. My question is: Does Newport RI Port allow passengers to take 12-pack of soda onto the ship? I may not be able to purchase a case of soda on Embarkation Day in NYC, so looking at my options. I called Princess Customer Service and they said that since Newport is not embarkation port, it is up to their rules. I haven't been able to reach anyone at the port. Thanks for any input!

I have never heard about such a restriction by a port, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Newport is a tender port. When you decide to return, you'll stand in line, outside, and wait for the tender. There will be someone there to check that you are a passenger on the cruise ship, but that is all they do.

I would call customer service again for clarification because the cruise line may have a prohibition on what can be taken onboard at a port-of-call, but the port does not

Thank you. I’ll call them again.
