richbum Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Can I just verify something....We can carry on a 12 pack of soda AND a bottle of wine per person correct...or do you have to choose 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDPadreFan Posted February 5, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Each adult can carry on a 12 pack of soda (cans) AND one bottle of wine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted February 5, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2020 As SDPadreFan said, soda must be cans. Small cartons are also permissible (but not wine boxes). Bottled water is a no-no. Security is known to open 12 pack soda can boxes to double check that beer cans were not furtively substituted. Wine or champagne in the typical 750 ml. size - one total per adult.

Organized Chaos Posted February 5, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Slight correction to SDPadreFan's comment. It's one 12-pack of soda per person (doesn't have to be an adult) and one bottle of wine per drinking-aged adult. So yes, someone 21 & up can bring one of each. Drinks must be in your carry-on or with you as a carry-on. If they're inside your carry-on bag, some security personnel will want to check it, others won't. As Ferry Watcher noted, some will open cases of soda to check for alcohol. Some have been known to tear open the cases to the point it's useless, so I always bring a bag of some kind in case this happens. I don't drink wine, but we still bring "my" bottle in case my wife wants two. I just strap my 12-pack to the handle of my suitcase with a small bungee. She has a nice insulated carrying case with a shoulder strap that holds two bottles of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollTide73 Posted February 5, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Does it have to be a 12 pack? Can it be 12 cans of variety in my carry on? 🙂 My husband's favorite energy drink comes in 4 packs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacie. Posted February 5, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It can be a variety but it should be no more than 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted February 5, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2020 And it doesn't have to be 12, just up to 12. I accidentally dropped my 12-pack getting out of our shuttle one time and three of the cans broke open. Luckily I had a reusable grocery bag with me (just in case security tore open the case) so I just put the remaining nine cans in that. Oddly enough, the security guy asked me if there was beer in those loose cans. 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAPaige Posted February 5, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2020 We don't drink alcohol but plan on bringing a bottle each of sparkling grape juice. Would my 18 and 20 year olds also be able to bring nonalcoholic "wine"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably won't be allowed sparkling grape juice, but I have started seeing a non-alcoholic wine that might be permitted. I've seen it in our soft drink aisle near mixers and it is labeled as a zero proof dry wine, not carbonated grape juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted February 7, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 7, 2020 As others have said, you can bring both cokes & wine. If you bring a 12-pack in the carton, it's a good idea to have a tote or something to put them in. Our neighbors had their carton ripped open to check them. Remember cokes have to be in cans, not bottles. You can also bring protein drinks in cartons. My daughter brought her coconut water that comes in cartons. You just have to limit to 12 per person.

They don't allow any alcohol to be brought onboard, except for the one bottle of wine per drinking-aged adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've only brought soda once, and they just looked at one carton and didn't even let me get my bag unzipped before ushering us along. They can and do ask some be opened. You would be very unpopular here doing it because most don't want to lose soda carry-on like what happened with water. If you aren't overly picky it is better to find out if your ship has happy hours for beers that you can store for later or just drink in Port.

Countrygurl Posted February 26, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Cruised out of Port Everglades this past October. There were four of us, but we had 2 cabins. I had all four bottles of wine and one 12-pk of soda in my carry on. 2 of us went thru security together, the other 2 were in a different line. No one questioned my 4 bottles of wine nor did they ask for me to open my carry on to review it or the soda. Now I'm aware this isn't always the case as I've been on many cruises, but this was my most recent experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartzcrew Posted February 26, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Its also my understanding, from past experience, that those cans have to be 12 oz or under, so most energy drinks arent allowed. From Carnivals site "A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12 ounces each or less, per person." That is from this page.

pacruise804 Posted February 28, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If it is in a 12oz or less can or carton, in a quantity of 12 or less per passenger you can bring it in your carry-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
