MLP12 Posted August 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2019 On Embarkation Day, does water/soda have to be in your carry on bag or can you give it to a porter to deliver to your cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The policy is that you are supposed to carry it on, but what happens at the port can vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven888 Posted August 6, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Does anyone know why we have to carry on the soda instead of checking it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the porters and crew have better things to do with their time than schlepp 24 packs of water and soda for guests.

I've heard of some giving it to the porter. I'm sailing out of Port Canaveral and am going to ask when I check my luggage. Hoping that they'll take it, but if not I'll carry it on.

Snit13 Posted August 6, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Buy one of those inexpensive wheel duffel bags and wheel it on yourself as you have been advised by those who know. For me, Less is More. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find Port Canaveral to be more strict than the other ports. If you are bringing it...plan on carrying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzlechest Posted August 6, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If you have a drink package, you may be able to get unopened cans in the Windjammer and bottled water from bars, coffee shops, etc. Check with people who have sailed the ship recently. I like to keep a couple cans and bottles in my room refrigerator in case I get thirsty at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great news! When we first cruised Oasis in 2011, they didn't allow pop to be carried on. We don't drink pop anymore, but we do like Club Soda. Glad to hear we can bring some on board now!
