Shekim Posted January 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2020 In the last 5 or 6 years we have purchased the drink package which includes bottles of water. We are taking a 5 day next and we are not purchasing the package. Does Royal still let you bring on water? Soda? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes. The limit is 12 containers of non-alcoholic bevrages per stateroom, each no more than 500ml, must be carried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekim Posted January 16, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thanks Bob...it's been a while and I had no idea. We used to take a case of water and 2 6pks soda. Appreciate your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomanny Posted January 17, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If you need to bring more water or soda on, board in two groups, separate from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI newbie here....How does this work, don't they just take your tagged bags (presumably with waterbottles in them) from you at embarkation? Why the need for boarding in 2 groups? Or, are you referring to bringing it on a carryon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Has to be carry-on...not in your luggage.

So that it's not so obvious you are going over the stateroom limit - same as wine bottles. For example, if you use separate security lines, you are much less likely to be questioned about water/wine, than if you are next to each other in the same line.

Here is what it says in my cruise documents that just came this morning. I am unsure if we are allowed or not allowed, seems to be conflicting information, I guess I better call Royal Caribbean. Guests are not allowed to bring beer, hard liquor, fortified wines (vermouth, sherry, sake, and port wines) or nonalcoholic beverages onboard for consumption or any other use. Guests may bring personal wine or champagne onboard only on embarkation day, limited to two (2) bottles (no boxes) of 750 ml each per stateroom. Wine should be brought onboard via carry on if possible. Luggage containing wine or champagne will not be delivered to the stateroom and guests will need to retrieve their luggage from security once the ship has set sail.

You can bring the 12 containers of non-alcoholic beverages. Beware, calling Royal may or may not confuse you even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked on my cruise eDocs and it says the same things as above, but their website FAQ says more: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/food-drink-onboard-policy Curious if you get a different answer. We leave in a week and I plan on bringing 12 cans of soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted January 20, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I think calling RCL will provide a correct answer about 50% of the time.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymanitee Posted January 20, 2020 #14 Share Posted January 20, 2020 On Symphony in November, I put a 12-pack of Coke, a 12-pack case of water, and 2 bottles of Prosecco in the same duffle bag and carried it on. No one stopped me. I actually had 2 rooms booked for my family so I wasn’t breaking any rules, but the security people didn’t know I had 2 rooms. I really don’t think they care about non-alcoholic beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetz Posted January 20, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) For instance, you have two bottles of wine in your carryon. It goes through the scanner, it is seen as 2 bottles. Nothing is said, it is fine. You don’t need to pull it out and show anyone At dinner one couple told us they each had two bottles in their carry one and went though separate security lines. Not really right to do but it is done When we came back onboard from Cozumel 2 weeks ago with Tequila in our beac bag they just let us go through Go figure We just held onto it in our room until we returned to Miami Edited January 20, 2020 by janetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCruisers Posted January 20, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 20, 2020 At embarkation, the checking of the bags is done by a security company and not RCL employees. So sometimes you get a person that will question everything in your bag and others are just get there to pass time. It's a crap shoot whether they will question my 6 pack of Coke or not.
