cawagner Posted August 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2011 What amount are you allowed to carry-on. I know its 1 bottle of wine/champagne per person. What about water/soda ect. We wanted to bring a bottle of champagne and the other a 2 ltr. of soda OR a bottle of mixer for our alcohol? We figured we might by a bottle of liquor from bon voyage so we could have some drinks in our cabin. I also wanted to bring some small bottled waters. What amounts of what are you allowed.

AWCHIEF Posted August 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2011 You are allowed to bring on board 12 water/soda per person. They are now limiting the size the containers can be. You can check on the Carnival web site for the latest updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuyahoga11 Posted August 29, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2011 What is the Liquor and Beverage Policy? A liquor and beverage consumption policy was created in order for Carnival to be able to control the liquor consumption of minors and the quantities consumed that lead to the disruptive behavior of others on board. Liquor and Beverage Policy Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation Day: Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the steakhouse. (A corkage fee is a charge exacted at a restaurant for every bottle of liquor served that was not bought on the premises) On embarkation day, each guest may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages on board and only in their carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 bottles and/or cans, 20 ounces each or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cawagner Posted August 29, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can a 2-liter bottle of soda OR a small bottle of mixer be carried on instead of the 1 bottle of wine/champagne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawagner Posted August 29, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Oh, and since its the 2 of us we can put both our "allowed carryon beverages" in 1 carryon? We usually use one of those small wheeled suitcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyrobb Posted August 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Since they changed the rule recently, are they allowing people to still carry on soda at ports? For instance, instead of lugging it around the first day, we picked our soda up at Key West last year. We were planning on doing that again next week, but didn't know if they have cracked down on that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2011 case of water/soda no larger than 20 ox per bottle 12 nonalchoholic drinks pp .. not sure what a case is. (rules say a package of 12) OP, if you break the rules its taking a chance. They used to not allow one box of wine 1.5 liter rather than two 750 ml of wine. Its your call, you know what the rules are. There are not rules for substituting other than John said you can now combine the wine to one of the same ml. OP you can carry them on however you want. If you board together you can put them in the same bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the alcoholic beverage purchases in port that they're on the lookout for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawagner Posted August 29, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for all your quick responses. We usually prepurchase a bunch of the bar coupons, that way our SS bill at the end is low, but it might be a better deal to get some bonvoage liquor delivered and make some drinks ourselves in the cabin and only purchase half the amount of bar coupons we normally do. By the way, what is the size of the alcohol bottle you order from bon voyage? Rum in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunintheFun Posted August 29, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can you put soda or juice in your luggage, I ordered from bon voyage? They said they are liter bottles, I ordered Grey Goose and that was $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristieDawn Posted August 30, 2011 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Has anyone ever carried on non-alcoholic beer? It's a non-alcoholic beverage as the rules state.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWCHIEF Posted August 30, 2011 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone? :) The rules are very specific, they say nothing about substituting. Swapping soda/water for wine is sort of a apples and oranges thing and bit of a stretch of the rules, don't you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawagner Posted August 30, 2011 Author #17 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Not really, its not like i am wanting to swap it out for a bottle of scotch...its soda, which is absolutely allowed to be brought onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like your mind is already made up and you are looking for someone to agree with you. OK, I agree with you, take what ever you want to carry, but don't be surprised or pissed off if the inspectors find fault with your decision.

cawagner Posted August 30, 2011 Author #20 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well, no I dont want anyone to just agree with me, all I wanted to know is IF anyone has brought a 2ltr bottle of soda in their carryon. I saw on another thread that someone brought along one of those big bottles of mixer (in their carryon) for the alcohol they also got from bon voyage so they could make their own mixed drinks. And, by the way I can read, and I am well aware what the rules state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 30, 2011 #21 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The 20 oz rule just started within the last 2 weeks, so what someone did a month ago isnt relevalent. I have brought one 2 liter of soda in the past. No one has hardly had time to know the new 20 oz rule, so probably they are being lenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroozers Posted August 30, 2011 #24 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The bottled water you will pay for. I think the tap water in the room tastes fine, but some go to the Lido deck and fill a container there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use one of their cups to pour it in your bottle- unless the opening is wide enough, there is a chance that the dispenser will touch the mouth of the bottle (a no no!)
