Calleekelly Posted July 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi! I am going to be Platinum for my next cruise in December BUT I’m leaving this Monday the 8th on the Dream and I have never brought any liquids with me... I want to bring “Drinkaid” for me to help with hangovers! It’s literally a miracle! They are sealed... some are sealed from the cap and some are sealed with the thin metal film (after opening the cap). Because it’s sealed I can bring it along, right!?!? Packed in my suitcase? (I am checking my luggage.) Please someone help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midcarolina Posted July 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2019 If it is available in cans I would guess you can carry on one 12 pack per person in stateroom..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyguru32 Posted July 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I would say since it is a liquid you should put it in your carry-on luggage Guests are prohibited from bringing water, sodas and other non-alcoholic beverages that are packaged in glass or plastic bottles. On embarkation day, a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sparkling water, sodas, energy drinks, juice, and milk), packaged in cans or cartons, may be brought on board and must be in the guest's carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12 ounces each or less, per person.

Sauer-kraut Posted July 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I think bringing Alka-Seltzer would be better. No problem with carrying liquids, a lot lighter in weight, AND it forces you to drink water....which is what your body is missing anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted July 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I had to look it up. I see a "Drinkade" (as opposed to Drinkaid as you said). Is that what you're talking about? If so, they are in plastic bottles, which are prohibited. As noted in hockeyguru's post, they have to be cans or cartons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted July 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If it's not in a can, forget about it. If you put it in your packed luggage, the X-ray machine will find it and it will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an experienced drinker with hangover remedies can help this poor guy and offer other suggestions for hangovers! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I don't understand how cans of soda are ok but completely sealed 12 packs of water bottles aren't allowed. Is it an environmental thing? Does Carnival not encourage recycling? Very puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very puzzling. Plastic water bottles can be opened and refilled with booze. Cans can't. Yeah, employees could check the seal on each of the bottles to make sure they're all intact, but on embarkation day, that's just not feasible. It would be too time consuming. So, if you want to bring drinks on board - it needs to be in cans, since they're nearly impossible to tamper with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to drink water on board, but it's going to be sodas for me because of the no water bottle policy. Not a huge deal, just kinda disappointing.

You can get 12 1/2 liter bottles delivered to your cabin for $4.50. Royal charges $40 for 12 one liter bottles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalie_healyoursoul Posted July 5, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Gatorade & Powerade both make powdered drinks (similar to Crystal Light packets). I haven't tried these yet, but Gatorade always helped us when we drank too much. Might be work picking up a few to try them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 5, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 5, 2019 OP should look into MixFix Recover which contains DHM and Thiamine, anecdotally shown to help reduce hangovers, ingredients Drinkade does not contain. Also comes in pouches of capsules. Foe me the best hangover cure is not to drink too much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Side note: I do not use nor promote the use of such devices) Seriously though, I just take a few OTC pain killers (usually Ibuprofen) and drink a bottle of water before I go to bed. A big part of a hangover is caused by dehydration since alcohol is a diuretic. Those two things work wonders for me. I'll usually wake up still pretty thirsty, but I don't feel sick. Once I get my morning soda (I don't drink coffee) and some breakfast, I'm good to go. 5 hours ago, MisterOJ2 said: Plastic water bottles can be opened and refilled with booze. Cans can't.

Last year sailing out of Miami, I accidentally dropped my 12-pack of Dr. Pepper in the parking lot and three of the cans broke open. I had a reusable bag with me, so I just put the remaining loose cans in that. We got to security and my son's friend had his own 12-pack. They never said a word, didn't try to open the case, nothing. My bag of nine loose cans went through the scanner, got to the other side, and the guy looked inside the bag. He asked, "What's in the cans?" I said, "Dr. Pepper." He asked, "Not beer?" There were so many things I wanted to say, but in the end I felt discretion was best. They didn't question the unopened case that passed through right before me, but thought that my loose cans might have contained beer. 🤨 Why yes, I have a bottling plant in my garage and I have cleverly filled soda cans with beer. You got me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted July 5, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 5, 2019 You may want to solicit some input from @sid_9169- he wrote quite a bit in his reviews about a product called 'Rebound' which was apparently helpful avoiding hangovers, and which is a patch, not a liquid!

Apparently you have never been to the "Behind the Scenes Tour." They have a HUGE recycling room. Everything is separated and labeled. All the cardboard is crushed and bundled. They have glass crushers, it looked like they had 100's of pounds of glass. Seriously do not know where you got your info.

It is really weird, people are also vaping, doing drugs, and high even at the most elitist of schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
