Madio Posted March 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I know this seems like a trivial matter, and indeed it is to almost everybody, including us. We are sailing on the Edge March 15 cruise to celebrate my 75th birthday. My 2 grown daughters decided to "surprise" us by booking the cabin next to us. Because of the Corona virus, the cat came out of the bag early, but we are thrilled that they are coming, and it is their very first cruise and they are super excited. Here's the rub: One daughter is addicted to Pepsi (her only vice, thank God), and having been on many cruises, I have never seen it. Of course, I haven't looked for it either. Don't know how to find out if they have it; if we can bring a supply of it and pay "corkage" fee (LOL). I won't even call X because they are so bogged down with important issues right now. Just need to know how we can make sure she enjoys herself, especially since she is spending thousands on my birthday "surprise". I figure SOMEONE on this board must know if they have it, or if we can bring it on. Feel so bad for the cruise industry right now.......My husband's pulmonologist said "Go and have a good time."

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted March 9, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Only Coke products. I believe she can carry on Pepsi if she must have it. Though porters would slap a luggage tag on Grandma Jane if they thought it would get them a tip, she really should plan to carry it on to prevent potential can explosion and luggage damage. On the plus side, since you're on the Edge, you can go directly to your cabin to drop it off upon boarding. Can't stay until they are officially open, but you can drop off luggage.

DrivesLikeMario Posted March 9, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Good thing you didn't call. I've been on hold for almost 2 hrs. now. What about Sprite Zero? It's a Coke product. The last time I cruised with Celebrity, I wasn't drinking it so I don't remember if they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted March 9, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) You are allowed to bring as much soft drink as you wish on board -- some people put it in a dedicated carry-on bag, some people shrink wrap cases of soft drink and slap a luggage tag on it, I guess it all depends on how many cans or bottles she thinks she needs for that cruise. There won't be any corkage to pay. Edited March 9, 2020 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know about Sprite Zero (it has a weird aftertaste that Coke Zero and Diet Coke don't have - to me), but I kind of think I heard someone order it n a drink at a bar. Not 100% sure though. If it's a must have, I'd bring some to be safe. Edited March 9, 2020 by WrittenOnYourHeart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted March 9, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks, yeah I cut all caffeine out of my life a couple years ago and now I'm addicted to Sprite Zero. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covepointcruiser Posted March 9, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yes, Celebrity usually has Sprite Zero. I also stay away from Caffeine especially I the evening. I also remember cans of Caffeine Free Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be my two non-drinking daughters and my DH and I (who both drink), and we all have can have 15 drinks per day. Go figure. All in all, we got a fabulous price on this cruise.

There is no limit on drinks. You can have as many as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
