Bringing soda onto the ship

[don1976]

My daughter is fairly picky about what she drinks - she doesn't like carbonated drinks so tends to drink (what we would call in the UK) squash or cordial - namely Roses Lime Juice Cordial.

 

As far as we're concerned (and any definitions we can see on Google), 'Soda' is a just a term for a carbonated drink.

 

Whilst this Cordial isn't technically 'soda', we're not sure if we'd be permitted to bring this aboard. Is the term 'soda' that cruise lines use simply all encompassing term for any soft drink, or are they explicitly referring to carbonated drinks ?

 

Bottom line - will we have a problem bringing a bottle of her Lime on board ?

They are only looking out for alcohol. As long as your bottles of squash are commercially labeled and unopened, you'll be fine.

I can't imagine there'd be any trouble at all. They really only care if you're bringing on alcohol.

 

The buffet should have still lemonade too, which she might like. It's a bit sweet so it depends on how strong she takes her squash normally.

Thanks all.

I wasn't sure if we'd have to try to smuggle her cordial on.
