DimSum Posted May 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Does anyone know if NCL will allow you to bring your own bottle water and canned soda if you put it in your check in luggage? I know some cruiselines will allow you to do that but I wasn't sure about NCL. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merinski Posted May 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It seems crazy that you cannot bring your own pop/soda on. We don't drink very much so it is hardly worth it for the pkg. We bring it on other lines. Is there any vending machines after security in Vancouver B.C. that is where we are embarking. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted May 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I don’t understand why the don’t sell 6 packs of soda like they do water. Seems like it would be a money maker and a solution to those that want cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure about other lines. I do understand why they will not: it is like bringing booze on the plane. Business is business even if none of us like it one bit.

Rare 1025cruise Posted May 30, 2019 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Carnival allows each guest a 12 pack of cans. No bottles, but sells bottled water at a reasonable (well reasonable for a cruise line) rate. RCI allows a 12 pack per cabin. Celebrity and Princess don't pose limits. This really is a pure nickel and dime thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they’d make money at $15 And the company that owns Princess is in legal trouble for dumping trash in the ocean. Certainly NCL does this to encourage use of their beverage packages, but there are also environmental benefits, reduced labor for rubbish management and less heavy lifting for the porters and stewards as a result.

It's not really relevant seeing as NCL isn't so squeaky clean, none of them are sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, we all know about the Breakaway's last inspection: check and see how most NCL ships do? They get very high grades almost all the time. I pay a lot more attention the the CDC reports than what a few passenger have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1975 Posted May 31, 2019 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2019 This will be my first cruise with NCL as I usually go with P&O and they have no issue with taking bottled water onto the ship. I always have a bottle of water on me when I'm travelling and will particularly on this cruise as it's in the Mediterranean in August so likely to be hot days. Do NCL provide anything to pour water bottles into when you embark, or when you get back on from a port? I presumably can take an empty bottle back on board?

The water on the ships is excellent, probably better than the water coming from most taps at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring empty bottles back on board. The filtered water on board is OK for us, so we'll get it from the dispensers in the buffet (using a transfer glass so we're not putting our bottles under the dispenser). Most often we just buy the bottled water package and get the 1 liter bottles of AquaFina that they sell. You have to empty or toss the bottles if they still have water in them to get back on board (although, to be honest, security often lets you through with a partially filled bottle).

phissy Posted May 31, 2019 #22 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Also be aware that when re boarding at a port, you cannot bring water or soda back on board with you. Liquor will be tagged and retrieved at end of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILCIANRQTS Posted May 31, 2019 #23 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Viking allows you to bring water, soda, beer, wine and liquor on board, at embarkation and all port stops, without limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking is a different type of cruise line. It isn't a mass marketed line. I think most of the river cruise lines allow bringing beverages on, but, of course you are paying top $ to cruise them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
