cdillon23 Posted October 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If I brought a 12 pack or 24 pack of soda on board with me when I depart will RCI allow it or will they confiscate it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianfarmer Posted October 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I always take a collaspable cooler with me with soda and water. No one has ever said anything. In fact I keep it on the bathroom floor and the cabin stewart keeps it full with ice. After the cruise we fold it up and pack it or fill it with things we bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjpurple6 Posted October 17, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I just went on the mariner, and and I brought a duffle bag, put soda in it and it was delivered to my room with my suitcase, no problem, asked the room attendent to clear out the fridge, and put the soda cans in there, nop problem whatso ever.

cdillon23 Posted October 17, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Great, thanks! I think instead of buying a soda card I will just bring my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moheckie Posted October 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2006 So if you walk around with your own soda can, do they give you grief about it or do they even know it's from your own stash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsgirl Posted October 17, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2006 this is a great idea, especially for us who aren't flying to the port. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaragrace Posted October 17, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If I brought a 12 pack or 24 pack of soda on board with me when I depart will RCI allow it or will they confiscate it? Thanks. We always fill a suitcase of soda, bottled water and 2 bubble wrapped bottes of wine. It's nice to have an empty suitcase to fill for the trip home.

Cruzn Chuck & Susan Posted October 17, 2006 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My DSIL brought a case of diet coke on board a cruise on the Majesty of the Seas...but that was several years ago..no problem though. We also brought champagne on board without a problem...but now it looks like they are cracking down on that. :mad: I definately have been rethinking the whole Royal Caribbean cruise experience. We are cruising with them on the 29th, but I really don't think we will book with them again....to much like cruise ****s. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgf Posted October 17, 2006 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2006 As long as it's not alcohol, it's permitted. I brought a 6-pack of Diet Coke with me when I boarded the Mariner last week. Then I 'restocked' while I was in Grand Cayman. Brought it aboard without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeatrip Posted October 17, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Have they recently cracked down on alcohol? Within the last couple of years they didn't really seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzn Chuck & Susan Posted October 17, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2006 According to all I have read on the boards..it really sounds like they are cracking down. :mad: Don't really know why, especially when other cruiselines permit it. (Carnival & Cunard, that I know about first hand). Seems silly and "money grabbing" to me..:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL will lot allow you to bring alcohol of any kind of board when you depart. NCL has the same rule now also.

croaziera Posted October 18, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I took a 12 pack of coke cans and 2 2 liter bottles in a plastic grocery bag right through security in Miami onto the Freedom of the Seas and nobody said a word. They have a policy against bringing alcohol but not sodas. It saved $42 for the soda sticker. I gave the room steward all the candy bars and soda cans from the fridge and showed her that I had my own stuff and she had no problem with it.

maurick Posted October 18, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Oct 6th sailing on Explorer..we brought 20 cans of caf. free diet coke. We used a heavy tote bag. No problem. Just a pain to drag on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted October 18, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've done it many times with no problems. I carry them on. I don't take big cases because in all honesty, I don't drink a case in a week at home. I just like having something in the room and have a few of my favorite brand. I like the 12oz bottles so they can be resealed. I take a few mini-bottles of water with me too and toss them in my backpack for days in port.

Not sure of the other cruiselines:o RCCL? Is that the same as Royal Caribbean or am I getting my initials mixed up? Royal Caribbean expressly forbids bring alcohol on the ship, even at embarkation, which Carnival and Cunard allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
