Recent Anthem Cruisers Bringing Water Onboard

[cruzingduo]

We are wondering if anyone has brought water onboard Anthem recently.

 

  We used to bring a case of water, and with a luggage tags on a securely wrapped 24 pack and leave it at check in with the porters. With the new rules RCCL is limiting the amount of water you can bring onboard and you need to carry it rather than check it with the porters.

 

Has anyone had experience checking water recently?  Are they enforcing the rules in Bayonne?

Also, what about going thru security check in?  Any luck bringing more than 12 pack?

You do know the ship's water is perfectly fine to drink, right?  Why not just take a wide-mouth bottle or two and refill them as needed?

I have no problem with drinking the ship’s water so just bring a couple of empty bottles, but I understand that since the new rule took effect porters are refusing cases of water.

On our November Anthem cruise, I saw multiple people turned away and going back to their cars to store extra water.  Unsure about leaving with porters however or if this occurred consistently.

Just got off the Anthem yesterday.  Porters will no longer take water.  You have to carry it in where security will check how many bottles you have.  They will remove the over the amount and you have the carry the rest onboard.  They are very strict.

Thanks for the update.
