JTBCruiser Posted January 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Please forgive me if I confused this with another cruise line but I thought I read a couple months back that RCI will allow you to bring a 12 pack of soda on board at a port. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTBCruiser Posted January 24, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks for the quick response but my question was geared towards a port during a cruise and not embarkation. I know Carnival allows it but thought RCI followed to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saman Posted January 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Also what happens if when on shore you buy a small bottle of water and have it in rucksack when go back on ship ,would it be taken away? Even if only half left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if only half left Anecdotal but I just send it through the xray machine and get it back on the other end. Haven't had it taken away yet.

Pianogrl44 Posted January 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes, we had two ports on our last cruise where I brought back a couple small bottles of pop in my bag and security didn’t say a thing. Mind you, I wasn’t concerned if they confiscated them since they were only $1 but it wasn’t a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted January 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The policy is at the emarcation port you can bring up to 12 cans/bottles of non-alcholic beverages, along with two bottles of wine. At the ports of call during the cruise, if you attempt to bring on any bottles of beverages alhcholic or not is subject to confisication with return at end of cruise. Now if security actually enforces the policy is a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if only half left We brought water back from a port in a backpack (2 open and 2 closed). After the backpack went through the x-ray, RCL Security opened the bag and shook all 4 bottles looking at the bubbles. I assume they have training to spot if we were trying to bring booze back onboard. They put the bottles back in the backpack after shaking them and let us continue back on the ship with all 4 bottles of water. This was on Oasis 2-3 years ago.

DrivesLikeMario Posted January 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) So if I bring 12 caffeine free soda cans, should I put it in the big, checked luggage or in my carry-on? Edited January 25, 2019 by DrivesLikeMario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTBCruiser Posted January 25, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Sounds like they are as consistent as with the coffee card. We are going on Grandeur of the Seas in March so I'll just ask when we go into a port of call. If they take it, no big loss. Thx for all the replies.
