dreams_of_travel Posted May 25, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Semi-related: I wonder if eventually this will cause a change in manufacturing and sale of beverages. I personally wish I could buy these things NOT in plastic bottles. YMMV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted May 25, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Alaska Airlines is now handing out water in paper cartons rather than the small plastic bottles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they didn't state "plastic bottles" in the first sentence? We wine drinkers bring wine on in glass bottles, so makes me wonder if the folks bringing non-alcoholic drinks will question why they cannot bring glass bottles. I know some juices can be purchased that way. Anyway, doesn't affect me. But, I do wonder what is going to happen with bottled water? This was discussed a bit on another recent thread. I like to have the starter set and then re-fill as needed. Maybe they will be providing nalgene bottles, or BYOB? Somehow, I doubt we will be given water in paper containers, unless the science is there. Hmmm... Google led me to this: https://paperwaterbottle.com/. Another option is Tetrapak I suppose. It's going to be a new experience when we go back to sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted May 25, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2021 This is what happens when people cheat - it makes it more difficult for the rest of us. I suspect it is too easy to refill and recap a glass or plastic bottle and that people have used them to sneak alcoholic beverages onboard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think this move to go away from plastic bottles has anything to do with people sneaking on liquor. I don't remember where I read it a while ago, but there are entire forum threads out there on the interwebs about how best to smuggle on booze. It is not a new thing. But with the many options available for very little markup, more lines are offering beverage packages included. I've never brought on liquor but I have brought on several bottles of wine before. Not recently though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted May 25, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The days of people "checking in" 12 one litre bottles of water would seem to over. The assumption is that this is being done to reduce the amount of plastic packaging that Princess has to dispose of, which can only be applauded. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not recently though. I would agree with you if the prohibition were on plastic bottles only. But it appears to apply to glass bottles also. And they allow glass bottles of wine (with corkage if you bring more than one each), so I don't think a prohibition on glass bottles has anything to do with the environment.

justafem Posted May 25, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I can't find the statement anywhere on Princesses website. There seems to be an issue with an snippit, instead of a link. I run into this problem on FB frequently. Mostly people who want to "make their point" without giving the entire picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj24 Posted May 25, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I have future cruises that I have put deposits on and agreed and “signed” passenger contract when doing so. This language is not in any of the passenger contracts. Can they now change the terms of the contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply: yes I believe that the contract in place when you sail, not the one when you book, is the governing document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My snippet was from a link that was the opening post in another thread. 'The entire picture' is that the new passenger contract posted on FB has several changes in addition to Covid-19 vaccines. 1 being wine corkage goes from 15->20, another being that you cannot bring an unlimited amount of beverages onboard, still another being that only certain containers are permitted, and finally that all open containers must be poured out before embarking. The new contract is here: https://static.cdn.responsys.net/i2/responsysimages/content/princessus/PassageContract.pdf?cid=brand_email_info_internal_newsletter_agentnews_se1ms048_210524_&eccn=&rrid=00132928&mi_u=00132928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't quoting another post so I thought you were referring to the one directly above yours concerning changes to the cruise contract. I agree with your comment about soda and water. 2 hours ago, pms4104 said: Quite simply: yes I believe that the contract in place when you sail, not the one when you book, is the governing document. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted May 25, 2021 #25 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I also think they are pushing the Princess Plus package, as those purchasing this option have no reason to bring on any beverages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
