Flatbush Flyer Posted June 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2019 OP: You also may want to check and see if your cruise line provides complimentary bottled water for port stops. (Some provide it in you cabin as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very helpful. Again, no reason for a previous poster to be vague or secretive. That doesn't help the OP or others who read this thread. In our experience, we have had no issues on 4 different continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And understandable, now knowing what cruise line is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted June 3, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I have seen that happen (required to empty your bottle) at several ports. And also having to toss open bottles of water (disposable ones). Probably to avoid alcohol smuggling. Edited June 3, 2019 by SRF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted June 3, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2019 If you are doing the Med and Capri is on your list, be aware that single-use plastic bottles, containers, bags, are prohibited from being brought onto the island now. Too much garbage from tourists that they have to barge out. One place where you will want your own Hydroflask (refilling a Dasani bottle won't work). You make a smaller footprint when you bring your own, anyway. Who cares if you have to empty it before coming back on the ship? Just like taking it on a plane... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to empty it to bring it back on board, but if all it has in it is water who cares? The emptying would be a cruise line rule not the port rule. For example NCL will not let you bring any beverages on board at any stop, so everyone has to empty their water bottles.

Greg901 Posted June 4, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks for the quick response everyone. We are on carnival and the ports are grand Cayman, mahogany bay, in Belize we going to Altun ha and wanted to bring bottle water or our water bottles this help a lot. So we should be good.

Kate P.C Posted June 4, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 4, 2019 We were there month and a half ago and had no trouble at all. Only Cozumel they checked for water and any type of food. We even had water bottles bringing back on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival usually requires personal water bottles be poured out. Yes, to avoid alcohol smuggling. You can reboard with Carnival purchased water.

Wow - my low opinion of Carnival just dropped....not sure if I'm more offended by the thought that Carnival would think I'm smuggling alcohol in my water bottle, or the realization that it must be common behavior by my fellow passengers. In any event, glad I swore off that line after my only Carnival cruise in the late 70's! Life's too short to put up with that sort of stuff....and the passengers who were the cause of them implementing such a thing!

Rare whogo Posted June 19, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It was announced on our HAL cruise last year to Australia that no food or unsealed bottles of water could be taken ashore in New Caledonia. I assumed they were trying to prevent invasive species. (Might have just been trying to sell more bottled water.) I saw the food rule broken.

I used Carnival ONLY because I know this is the procedure to allow Carnival purchased water back on board. Watched DCL guests pouring out bottles also.
