redleg1 Posted September 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Does Princess go through hand luggage and luggage dropped at the dock, and look for plastic bottles, such as for sodas and energy drinks, so they can ask you to discard them prior to boarding?

caribill Posted September 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Supposedly Princess no longer allows passengers to bring plastic soda or water bottles on the ship at embarkation. The policy says cans of soda and water (12 per person) are allowed. I do not know how much Princess actually enforces this policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted September 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Yes, your bags will be scanned when you go onboard, and you will be asked to discard plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royallondon Posted September 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Came off Sky Princess last Saturday. No checking of any luggage bags for plastic bottles prior to boarding. Plastic water bottles issued onboard as part of “Princess Plus” drinks package. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay S Posted September 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I assume you mean plastic bottles and not other plastic single-use items like cutlery and straws. (But hey, that could be next!) 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclue Posted September 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2022 We boarded the caribbean Princess in August in Quebec City-I had a plastic water bottle in my bag and was asked to discard it but they have plastic bottles on the ship....does not make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any plastic water bottle that has a broken seal will be discarded because the liquid inside may have been replaced. Sealed bottles, however, are not a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconCruiser Posted September 30, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I put my spirits in plastic bottles so that there will not be any scrutiny. I have never encountered an obstacle, but those who like to quote Google and other website information will most likely differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDDY0827 Posted September 30, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just off the Royal Tuesday. On boarding, I carried 2 530ml plastic bottles of soda and DGF carried 4 in our backpacks. Never a question asked or eyebrow raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted September 30, 2022 #21 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I have yet to go on a cruise where my bags haven't been checked. I have seen security remove contraband items, so I can only assume they will do the same with single use plastic bottles if told to by the cruise line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar & Bob Posted September 30, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 30, 2022 As others have said they are looking for smuggling. People will bring on water or soda in bottles and some of the bottles will have been filled with liquor, so they just ban all bottles and if you want your own soda or water you bring on cans. It's stated in their policy and you agree to abide by their policy no matter what their reasoning. So if you want water find it in cans. 🙂 It's been this way for a number of years with CCL corporation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
