Missiowa Posted August 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hello, My hubby really likes Pepsi with his meals. Carnival only sells coke. Can he bring a can of Pepsi into the dining room to drink with his meal or would that look tacky and frowned upon? Don't want to look rude but he would prefer Pepsi instead of buying a coke.

No problem. I do it all the time. I have even made my own mixed drink and brought it into the dining room. I bring canned sodas into the theater for the evening show also.

obx_fintoo Posted August 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yes, he can. Or if you are worried about the can, pour the drink into a glass and bring that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmal99 Posted August 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You can bring drinks into the MDR (even a can of pepsi). However, you could bring your drink into the MDR in a glass if you do not want to appear tacky... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 25, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) When we bring red wine onboard I will get red wine glass from the bar, pour it in my cabin and bring it to dinner with me. Could do the same for your pepsi. Edited August 25, 2011 by SadieN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookcreator Posted August 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yes. You will actually see many people with a glass of wine - (tacky or not - it is seen a lot) or soda. You are allowed to bring wine and soda onboard and to avoid the corking fee on the wine, people line up with the big class from their cabin filled with wine. There are worse breeches of etiquette on the ship and you will have plenty of company bringing drinks to the dining room Also bar service is often not good in the dining room, so many buy a drink at the bar and bring it in.

Soonerbaby Posted August 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We brought our soda to dinner with us. Sometimes a can of soda, sometimes a glass of wine. To be honest, I wouldn't know if anyone else did because I never really paid attention. So, I would be surprised if anyone even noticed me bringing a drink to dinner. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justsyd Posted August 25, 2011 #11 Share Posted August 25, 2011 A RED wine glass? Yes. A red wine glass is shaped differently from a white wine glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyosanim Posted August 26, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thats right, Bookcreator, drink service can be snail slow in the MDR. Yes there have been times I had to get up and head to the bar and get my own. Food waiters always seemed embarresed to see me do this. This has happened on two different Carnival cruises.

keystonemama Posted August 26, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not a problem, some of our table mates were the same way, they informed the waiter of their preference the first night, so every night after that the waiter would have a nice clean wine glass waiting for him to pour it into.

SadieN Posted August 26, 2011 #18 Share Posted August 26, 2011 not if it comes out of a box. :rolleyes: anywho, no one will know how where or why you are carrying anything into the mdr. I will know if I am drinknig red wine out of a white wine glass. :D The bars do have different wine glasses. Red, white, champagne. Never had a problem getting what I needed. Once it is in the glass no one knows where it came from. Unless of course you drink your wine in the wrong glass.;) The ones in the cabins are white wine, YMMV. Don't get me started on the different types of beer glasses/mugs/steins.:p red wine glass white wine glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted August 26, 2011 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I bring a can of soda to the MDR every night. On the first night, I ask for a glass of ice and they oblige. Each of the other nights, there's a glass of ice waiting for me. I also order a whiskey sour with dinner from the bar waiter, so they probably don't mind my soda too much. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaCaps Posted August 26, 2011 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I plan on bringing some beers in based on what I've read about the bar service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampleiwb Posted August 26, 2011 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Its no big deal..Carnival is not that classy-be polite, be respectful and then, do as you please-its your vacation. Now-dont get me wrong, I love carnival-but we book with them bc they are what we can afford-as do a lot of other people. I imagine if you went on a high end line, they may "frown upon" carrying a can of anything around with you-but really-carnival is way more laid back. My opinion is be kind and considerate to others-if your actions will not harm others, go for it...and bringing a can into the mdr will do no one harm.

VaCaps Posted August 27, 2011 #23 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I plan on bringing some beers in based on what I've read about the bar service. In fact I'm going to wear a belt that will hold all of my beers sorta like grenades, maybe even the strap across my chest so I don't clutter up the table. Or should I just bring my rolling cooler? Only on non elegant nights of course. LoL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
