tango55 Posted April 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We will be sailing in November. Haven't sailed from California in a few years. just wondering what the new procedures might be? I know you are allowed one bottle of wine per passenger and it should go in carry on, but I'm wondering about juice boxes, water etc. Can the juice boxes be in checked luggage or do I need to take them out and have them in carry on as well? There's a particular brand I like that I can't get in states or onboard so I like to bring some with me. I'm worried about the weight of my carry on since cabins aren't usually ready til later. We will also probably bring on a case of water - just wondering if that's OK as well. Thanks,Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksurf Posted April 17, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We bring bottles water with us on the ship when we cruise from San Pedro. We check a couple of cases with the luggage and put the luggage tags on them. They bring them to our rooms. I don't think that you would have any problems with other boxes if you check it the same way at the curb. As long as there is no alcoholic beverages then they don't really care.

IECalCruiser Posted April 17, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2016 ...I'm worried about the weight of my carry on since cabins aren't usually ready til later...Except for a few recent exceptions, on Princess your cabin is ready when you board so you can drop off your carryon.

24639 Posted April 17, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I always check a small collapsible suitcase with water and or soda. No problem ever and as recent as last week. YMMV (Let them do the heavy lifting.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is no alcoholic beverages then they don't really care. Ditto. Also, I tape up the case(s) with clear packing tape (and over the luggage tag) and make handles out of it on the short sides, just have some excess as you go around the case. Baggage handlers like handles. There's a picture on CC somewhere of a cruiser who tapes soft drink 12 packs together the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted April 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2016 How about sparkling cider has anyone carried that on board? Yes Martinellis in the glass bottle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 17, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I have lately seen reports of people with freshly-purchased cases of water who boarded in San Pedro having the plastic wrap cut and each individual bottle of water taken out and shaken. They were looking for booze in water bottles. Seems excessive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted April 17, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I have lately seen reports of people with freshly-purchased cases of water who boarded in San Pedro having the plastic wrap cut and each individual bottle of water taken out and shaken. They were looking for booze in water bottles. Seems excessive to me. I traveled with folks (on Princess) who replaced the 'center' bottles with booze. I can understand princess checking. They also cancel tips. I don't approve of either, but if you judge all your friends, you won't have any left to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted April 17, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Your cabin should be ready when you board, this is the normal Princess practice. You can bring on board as many non-alcoholic beverages as you want. The only issue with packing them into your checked luggage is that when the luggage is scanned it may be placed on hold. You may be requested to open the luggage to assure them the liquids are non-alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldoggirl Posted April 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2016 My husband and I just sailed on the Ruby Princess out of San Pedro, March 24th 2016, 15 day, Hawaii. We checked 1 case of water and 2 cases of soda. We used packing tape to adhere the luggage tags to them. When our luggage arrived in our cabin, our water and soda was right there with it.

Rare Cruise Raider Posted April 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 22, 2016 l would no longer concern myself with bringing a case of water onboard. Princess now has the option of purchasing a 12 bottle case of water online ahead of time for under $7. I would save the packing of extra beverages to the juice that you cannot get onboard.
