open water bottle at embarkation?

[ViolaSwamp]

I am a big time water drinker - I have a bottle on me 24/7!

 

So, going through embarkation, carrying a solitary Dasani water bottle with me, that shouldn't be a problem should it? I am not bringing a package of bottled water, I will drink the ship's, but I don't want to have to toss my half-filled water bottle at the pier.

 

Will this be a problem??

 

Thanks!

I have never had a problem doing this, but I have not sailed in a year and they are suppose to be cracking down. Maybe someone that sailed recently has done this. I would like to know as well.

On my last cruise out of Mobile I was made to dump an opened water bottle that was in the outside pocket of my back pack. Two sealed ones in the pack were exceptable to the inspector person.

Closed bottles are fine, but open bottles need to be thrown away.

I think b4 u board they make u dump opened bottles but u can bring on a case of water which i would suggest u may not like the ships water.... I always do..

I've never been asked to toss an opened bottle of water--only at the airport.

[mrpayroll]

Saw lots of half empty bottles of water in trash by door to terminal where you first get greeted...I'm quite sure people didn't just decide to throw them away...

I've been thinking of bringing a 24 or 35 pack of water bottles with me. Anyone know what the rules are regarding this?

Just put an unopened one in your purse. No big deal. No unopened beverages thru check in - Like at the airport. I had to throw one away.

If they see it they will tell you to dump it. If it is concealed in a carry-on, not an issue. Once on the other side of the xray machine, too late. If it really isn't water, they may have issues with that.

12pk pp of non-alcholic beverages. It is on the Carnival website.

Yep, stupid, but true! They'll grab the open water bottle, and throw it in the trash.

 

"SKY"

No different than when you are boarding a plane

Boarding the plane with it isn't an issue, it's taking it through the TSA checkpoint. If you buy it post-security, no worries.

 

With that said ...

 

I only recall seeing *one* place that had snacks/beverages available for purchase between check-in and boarding the ship, and that was Port of Miami a number of years ago.

What about returning to the ship from a port of call? Are you allowed to bring 1/2 filled water bottles or do you have to dump them too?

[JohnStevenGordon]

I bet you could bring a bomb on the ship and the chances of it being found in your check in is probably only 50%. They do not scan every bag. I saw dog sniffers though, once or twice in maybe 15 cruises.

In Miami this past January - we had to throw away a 3/4 full water bottle.

 

In San Diego in March - we knew the drill, and watched others throw away open bottles.

 

As others have said a sealed full bottle is fine to go through with.

Thanks. I looked but I guess not well enough. I appreciate the help.

Our port here they DO scan every bag. All checked luggage goes into a building before being loaded on the ship where they are xrayed.

 

Now if the operators are not paying attention then stuff will get missed.

There's not really a problem - Just finish whatever bottle you had prior to the security check point, toss the empty. Once you are through security, get a fresh un-opened one out of your carry-on. No biggie...

added to this is it must be in the carry on. no longer can check it with your checked luggage.

I wish CCL would put ALL of their policies in writing and publish on their website. Seems there is much personal policy interpretation going on. For example, 'Mr/Ms Security' tend to go overboard with the beverages brought on board.

 

As I believe in following the rules, I contacted CCL's Guest Solution department (guestsolutionssupport@carnival.com) for the specifics on what non-alcoholic beverages can be brought on board with us at embarkation. The response I received was "a six pack". Now that was not a complete answer, e.g., a six pack of what quantity (volume) was left unanswered.

 

On CC, I have seen several posters list bringing a case of water, 24 packs of sodas, etc. It would be **nice** to see this policy in writing to end confusion and more importantly end the bullying I have seen at embarkation. For example, I was denied bringing a gallon of water while on the same sailing learned fellow passengers successfully brought cases of water and sodas on board. Due to a health issue I have found a few brands of water that I can drink and it is not offered on the cruise ships, so I had to drink beer all week. Sadly CCL does not offer the beer I prefer. Could not have mixed drinks-ice, nor juices as they are diluted with water.

Where did you find it on CCL website? I would **LOVE** to print it and carry it with me on my next sailing.

 

A 12 pack for me and one "for" DH, would get me through the week. Plus those beers don't hurt either.

It is in the frequently asked questions at the bottom of the home page, it is in the section " What is the liquor and beverage policy?"
