bringing non-alcoholic beverages on board

[sandiego1]

We'd like to bring some bottled water and sparking water on our 2 wk cruise. Although the ship's water tastes fine, I like having a few small bottles to take on excursions, bring to the gym, etc. I don't like having to refill them in the buffet. Takes too long and we hold up the line.

 

Can I pack them in our checked luggage for the cruise (no flight involved)? Or do I need to carry them on like the 2 bottles of wine?

 

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Princess does not limit non-alcoholic beverages. You can put them in either checked or carryon luggage

Just back from the Star (RT LA-Hawaii) I packed two 12 packs of diet soda in a small heavy duty cardboard box, well packed around sides, top & bottom, taped and tied with a piece of clothes line to make it easy to carry, and labeled with a standard Princes luggage tag. It arrive in our stateroom just fine.

On my last three cruises I have brought a case of water on separately (not packed inside luggage). I just stuck a luggage tag on the plastic wrap of the case and gave the case to the porter. It's shown up each time.

Thanks for the advice. On our only other Princess cruise, we taped a luggage tag to our case of water bottles. We only got about 6 or 8 or the bottles. The plastic wrap was completely ripped. We will out it in a box to ensure we get it all. Never had a problem on Holland America.
