Bringing drinks onboard

[JYD Hawkeye]

I have seen the threads about bringing canned soda onboard by just putting a luggage tag on the case and they will deliver it. What I was wondering, I wanted to bring some soda for the room and maybe some of the small cans of V8 in a rolling cooler as carry on luggage. That way they can just look in it without me being called to the naughty room. I would then have the cooler to use in the room. It is a 40 can cooler, about the size of a large over-night bag. Would this make it onboard with me OK ?

Maybe - seems many ports were cracking down (since it is technically prohibited) during spring break, but likely have eased up by now.

Cans are always easier than bottles. They assume that you have not figured out a way to open a can, empty its contents, fill it with booze, and reseal the can.

I guess I was more trying to figure out if I am going to have a problem getting the cooler onboard more-so than the drinks. Do they have a problem with coolers?

Of course not. It's just a container. They would only be interested in its contents.

That's great. It will have 12 7-up, 12 coke, and 8 small DP cans, and 2 bottles of Korbel Brut in it. Didn't know if I should bring it on or check it. I know if I bring it on , they will check it and prob. let it go, but then I have to drag it around until the cabin is ready. But if I check it, will they just look in it and send it to the cabin ar will they hold it and make me come get it?

If you put bottle of water and diet pepsi in checked bag with lock do they bring lock to search suitcase or call you to remove it?

I put water/soda in a tote cooler to check but I don't lock that one. That way if they want to look inside and see what is in there they can. Never had a problem with it making it to the cabin. For our B2B on Jewel in May I plan to put a 12pk of Diet Coke and a 12Pk of Fresca in my soft cooler with hard plastic insert inside and put a tag on it and check it. Then I use the cooler for our room.

They will not break the lock. You will get a personal invitation to visit the naughty room.

[CrusingJoe]

If the cooler fits the x-ray machine at check-n it should be ok. If not you'll have to put a luggage tag on your bag.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

It seems i will just have to see what happens, since there doesn't seem to be consistency.

 

Are sodas and bottles of water allowed or not?

Technically they are not allowed, but that rule is frequently not enforced.

Here is policy:

We have never had a problem in Ft Lauderdale. We just came off the Allure and we brought 4 fridge packs of pop. 2 opened 2 liters of pop and a few unopened bottles of water. We were pulled aside to look through our stuff... they checked all the fridge packs to make sure they were factory sealed. They opened the 2 liters ( that were about half full... just had them left over from the night before in the hotel) and they made sure they fizzed when opened. and they shook the water bottles to make sure they were just water. Everything passed their inspections and we were on our way to check in.

I also put a sealed case of water in an open tote (our beach bag for the trip) and checked it - no issues with it coming to the room during Spring Break.
