ryzmom Posted September 30, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Silly question..... How many can or bottled sodas do you carry on? Where do you put them? In your suitcase, carry-on or another bag? Do they check it? I am a Coca-Cola drinker and I want to save some money and carry my own on like everyone else, but I don't know exactly how it's done. So, please give me some tips and info on it! :confused: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted September 30, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2005 We've taken 12 packs onto Princess and Celebrity right in the open, no questions asked. If you want specific info here, though, you're best off asking on the board dedicated to the cruiseline you're going to be on as all lines don't treat everything the same as each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmichelle Posted September 30, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2005 My husband is also a big Coke drinker and usually carries on a 12 pack, then we he runs out, he just buys more at the ports. They don't care about pop, it's the liquor that you can't bring on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morriscats Posted September 30, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2005 We put it in a soft sided cooler and check it with our checked luggage (it is heavy). Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted October 1, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I usually take a 12-pack of cans onboard. It's never been a problem. Of the mainstream lines, the only one that has an official policy regarding non-alcoholic beverages is Carnival (as far as I can determine). They reserve the right to limit the amount brought onboard. Here's the official wording from Carnival's web site: "Guests may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages. Excessive quantities, to be determined at the discretion of security and/or the embarkation personnel, will be confiscated and discarded." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmansmom Posted October 1, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2005 i have always taken on a 12 pack of soda and a few bottles of wine on in my carry on bag for my carnival cruises. no problem. i have never tried to take on any hard liquar or beer so i dont know about that. i am glad to read that they dont care about the soda being brought on in the ports. i am a pepsi drinker and would rather have that than coke.

Please take it as a carry-on. Have you ever seen how they stack all the baggage in the cargo containers? No one would appreciate having their luggage soaked by someones smashed bottles or cans in their luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayce Posted October 1, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2005 On the Rhapsody I carried on 24 500ml (16oz I think) bottles of coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbaker Posted October 1, 2005 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2005 We bring a 12 pack of Coke, a 12 pack of water bottles, bubble wrapped bottles of wine, and a bottle of rum all packed in a hardside suitcase that we check at the pier. Have done this many times. We don't pack anything else in that case, just filling gaps with bubble wrap. We have never had a problem, and have an empty case at the end of the cruise to pack things we buy during our vacation or clothes and things we packed tightly in the other suitcases before the cruise. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth4652 Posted October 3, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The six of us cruising in Dec. are all big soda drinkers. In the past we have purchased the drink cards. We would need to bring 12-15 12-packs to last us the 10 days. Would that even be possible, or should we stick to the drink cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmansmom Posted October 4, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2005 beth, i am ' positive ' that carnival would consider this way beyond their reasonable amount of soda that could be brought on. i would stick to the soda card. also getting that many 12 packs onboard would be a real pain. have a great time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if you EACH carry your own 12-pack, it wouldn't pose any problem at all. Two 12-packs each might seem excessive. You can always buy more in ports.
