Question about bringing alcohol on and availability of tonic water

[Tarnished45]

Hi, do liquor/spirits such as vodka and Bacardi need to be carried on in your hand luggage or are they ok in your suitcase?

 

Secondly, does anyone know if Tonic Water is one of the soft drinks that is free?

 

Thanks :)

I've found the answer about carry on luggage.

 

Does anyone know about the tonic water?

 

Thanks :)

I don't believe it's included. Any beverage you get in a can/bottle from a server/lounge has a cost. There's no tonic water in the self serve drink stations.

ALL beverages need to be in your carry on luggage.

 

No tonic water "free" as far as I know. Of course, you can bring some in your carry on.

 

Also, depending on where your cruise is going, at some of the ports it is easy to buy things like the tonic water. For instance, in Key West, there is a CVS about 2-3 blocks from the port area. It is an excellent place to re-stock on anything you need.

We brought our own tonic, but forgot the little bottle of lime juice (for G&T), so made friends with a bartender and he gave us what was going to be thrown out at the end of each night. We kept the lime slices in our in-room fridge (inside a drinking glass with the paper lid on top). It worked fine, but I wouldn't expect it again. Our failure to plan should not be a bartender's call to action. I tipped him extra on the last night for this accommodation (and hoped he didn't get into trouble for helping us out). Lime juice is on the packing list now!

I like lemon in my tea, so have always just asked the bar tender for a slice when needed. Never had a problem with that. Glad he was able to help you.

Lime in G & T ???? Lol

 

It's lemon all the way in a good G & T :)

I've always been able to request lime and lemon slices from room service that I keep in the fridge.

I've never tried lemon in a G&T, but I am happy to do so in the guise of research. BTW, using both lemon and lime slices in a G&T is called an "Evans" (perhaps we should call it détente ;)?)
