maxamuus Posted May 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Saw this mentioned - On embarkation day, guests may bring a small quantity (package of 12 per person) of non-alcoholic beverages onboard, only in their carry-on luggage. Does that included bottled water ?? We have always packed a bunch of bottled water in a duffel bag and sent it with our checked baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted May 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2011 yes, bottle water has to be carried on and is part of the 12 bottle allowance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted May 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2011 From what I understood, you can bring in X amount of either water or soda, either or both. Since they are now selling water in your cabin(they make money) or when you disembark in each port (they are making money), so limiting what you bring on board does create them making money by selling it. I don't begrudge them this at all. In fact I am grateful that I don't have to tote.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxamuus Posted May 27, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted May 27, 2011 When did this nonsense start? We checked our water on the Spirit without any issues. What is Carnival going to do with my bottled water if i put it in a duffel bag like i have always done ?? I slip the porter a 20 i know he isnt going to say no. They going to make me report to the naughty room over checked WATER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since people empty water bottles out and put clear colored booze in the bottles this became necessary. I'm sure there are other cruise lines out there would be willing to take your money if this policy upsets you. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 27, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It started at least a year ago .. because people were checking overly heavy bags Im sure, filled with liquids for the porters to deal with. Carnival just said enough is enough. Now you have to carry them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxamuus Posted May 27, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Carnival just said enough is enough. Now you have to carry them on. They should do what the airlines do and CHARGE US if we want to check our bags in. 50 bucks a bag sounds about right... You can carry your luggage on for free if you want.

truchattycathy Posted May 27, 2011 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I put a case of water in a rolling carry on and there was not a problem last Oct. I think Fire is right, it has more to do with those porters having to carry bags full of water. The alcohol is why you have to carry all liquids on in a carry on now, not the reason they limit the amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxamuus Posted May 27, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Just got off Princess a couple weeks ago and they had no problems carrying a duffel bag with bottled water to my stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted May 27, 2011 #14 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The problem has also been bottles bursting and ruining suitcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanaimobound Posted May 27, 2011 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2011 My daughter and son-in-law carried on a full case of water on splendor, but they brought it on. We had twelve sodas and six larger sport bottle sized water bottles in a small suitcase with wheels and had no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxamuus Posted May 27, 2011 Author #16 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I guess its just the never ending nickle and diming that pisses me off. This "ban" has nothing to do with heavy bags for the poor porters or bottles water bursting and destroying luggage (how does water destroy luggage anyway?) its just another way Carnival is nickle and diming you. You can only have your 12 cokes or waters or whatever then you have to buy them from us for 3 bucks a pop! Honestly Bill i think i will do my cruise on the Breeze next year and then i will take my business elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tef43 Posted May 27, 2011 #21 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Cruise DCL. You can carry on as much as you want.And you'll also pay significantly more for your cruise. How you allocate your vacation dollars is entirely up to you. That's what is so great about the free marketplace, you have choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
