AlaskaFan05 Posted November 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hello, Although this is our 3rd cruise with Princess, are you allowed to bring your own canned soda aboard without having to smuggle it? I usually get the soda card but the DW is a die-hard Pepsi fan and hates Coke. Thanks for any experiences you can provide. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coracii Posted November 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2009 No problem bringing soda aboard, I usually bring a couple of cases with me on Princess cruises. I'm a Pepsi drinker and my wife is a fan of Diet Dr. Pepper, neither of which the ship carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgvic Posted November 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I havent had a problem, There is nothing says you can't. I usually take a larger bag as carry on and then put pop and other heavy things in it once in the departure city. As carry on you dont have to pay the airline baggage charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlake Posted November 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yes you can. I also bring a few bottled waters on board for taking on excursions. We also bought wine in port and carried in on board to keep in our frig in the room. Makes it sound like I was on a liquid diet!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbillmc Posted November 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2009 When we were in line on November 4th to board the Ruby in FLL, a couple behind us were carrying on four cases of Pepsi on a portable push cart. They said they both love Pepsi and have never had a problem bringing their soda aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted November 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Slap a luggage tag on it and give it to the porters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we_wanna_cruise Posted November 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2009 What kind of soda is onboard the ships? I love Diet Coke but will settle for Pepsi if I have to. Also, I am assuming that soda is expensive on the ship? My hubby hates soda, but I just have to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie333 Posted November 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's Coke products and they don't have a very extensive selection (i.e. I don't think they have things like Sprite Zero). It's about $2 per can including the tip though you can buy the card or get the soda package (buy 5 get one free). We always bring on a case of 12 or the mini cans if we don't feel like carrying the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyjane Posted November 15, 2009 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2009 How much is the soda card now? In JUly 2008 on the Caribbean Princess -9 day cruise- it was one price for the entire cruise. Is that still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeequeenj Posted November 16, 2009 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2009 We have done it several times without any issue traveled a month ago on the Golden, I love ginger ale, it helps if you feel a little sea sick, no one has ever said a word, we have also carried a case of Pepsi on.

Stevesan Posted November 16, 2009 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Slap a luggage tag on it and give it to the porters. Or get a rollaboard cooler. You could even strap a deck chair to it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
