Carry On Soft Drink Cans

[Philandjulie]

Can't seem to find definite information on whether or not I can take on soft drink cans.  We're doing a 3 day theme cruise from Brisbane this weekend and was hoping to take my fav soft drink.  Thanks

Off the P&O Australia website:

 

To ensure the safety and security of all guests, and in line with Responsible Service of Alcohol guidelines, the following beverage items cannot be brought onboard any P&O Cruises’ ship:

• Plastic and glass bottled drinks (opened or unopened), including water;
• Slab packs (cartons) of canned drinks;
• Tetra pack drinks (including fruit juice poppers).

Each guest may bring onboard a maximum of 12 non-alcoholic canned drinks loosely packed in carry-on (hand) luggage. All luggage, including checked in luggage, will be x-rayed at embarkation.

 

Hope this answers your question.

I wonder how they define zero-alcohol beer? Technically meets the criteria?

Good question. Maybe call P&O and/or stick a couple in your carry on and see what happens?

What do you reckon with Heineken 0.0s.Thry're true zero-alcohol beer.

They x-ray your bags, they didn't open ours - just asked if they were soft drinks.

I guess they could open the bags and check, but a very good chance they wont.

So you cant bring your plastic water bottle onboard at check in?

I think you can, as long as it's empty.
