Hi Kathy,

I see this has been somewhat addressed on another thread but wanted to make sure I had this info correct.

Can we bring our own sodas on board the ship in Port Canaveral? It seems as though this will not be permitted by DCL.

Last time we sailed in 2005 we left from Long Beach, Ca. on the Paradise and we took my 6 pack of 20oz Dt. Mt Dews on board, no problem. In fact, the cabin steward always had one on ice for me when I returned to the cabin in the late afternoon to get ready for dinner. It was so nice!

I sure will miss my Dews if I can't take them with! : (

I'm not Kathy but just got off the Magic May 5. We took a 12 pack of Diet Coke in our hand carry suitcase with no problems. The bag sure was lighter when we left the ship!

Thanks so much Floridagran!

I have anxiously been awaiting an answer. So you didn't make it really obvious, just stuck the 12 pack in a bag you carried on? I think that is what we did in Long Beach. We weren't trying to hide anything, it was just the most convienient place to carry stuff on board

Thanks!!

We also brought cans of Mt Dew and Pepsi on both of our Wonder cruises, no problems. I think I put ours in our carry-on both times. Just don't pack them in ice.

Thanks for answering for me everone, i havnt been on line much the past few days due to getting a puppy for mothers day. I have been sooooo busy!!!!!

 

I do agree, many bring pop and wine and even beer. there is a sign that says No alcohol in the terminal but they have never enforced it to my knowledge.

many dont like coke products so they do bring their own.

 

PLEASE put it in carry on, NOT checked luggage, as checked bags are banged around a lot and things can get broken or busted open. That happened to my son in law and booze went all over his new clothes and the suitcase smelled of alcohol for weeks. first thing on our vacation was my daughter had to send souvenir money on laundry.

 

when i take pop i put in a large zip lock baggie too, just as a precaution. No need to worry about accidents even in carry on.

Kathy,

 

Congrats on the new addition!

Thanks for the tip. Your poor SIL, lol.

Now I can enjoy my cruise AND my favorite beverage, hee hee hee.....

Why would you bring coke or diet coke on-board? You can get them free up on the lido deck. I can see pepsi etc if that is what you like, but coke and diet coke?

Don't know about the Dt. Cokes and such, but what I drink is not available at all on ships.

As for the regular drinks, I would assume that ppl like to have the convenience of opening up a can or bottle in their room and not going all the way to Lido. Just a guess. I know my boys will probably want their own stash in their room.
