santacap Posted May 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2008 OK, read all the booze threads pre embarkation, and water / pop while boarding in your checked luggage. But what about buying a 2L bottle / case of pop while you're in port. Will the guys take the bottles from you? curious minds:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted May 11, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2008 No they will not take the pop (you must be from my area;))away. You can carry a 2litter or six pack right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take them right on board. Good luck and enjoy your cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about buying a 2L bottle / case of pop while you're in port. Will the guys take the bottles from you? curious minds:) It's so funny because I was just talking with my kids about how, being from the Chicago area, I always called any "soda" ...pop...and how after I moved from the midwest to Vermont that everytime I asked where the pop machine was, people always asked me what I was talking about...now, after living in the "soda" area of the country for almost 20 yrs...it brings back great memories of growing up in the Midwest and "pop" country!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeach Posted May 11, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's a Michigan thing too! But, than we are next door! It's also a northeastern Ohio word also. I'm originally from Youngstown, Ohio and we called it pop. I now live in Atlanta and it's soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gescn Posted May 11, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You know, in Texas, it's all called "coke". Anything can be a coke...Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Sprite, anything that comes from a coke machine is a coke!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted May 11, 2008 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I drove tractor trailers cross country for a year or so and I had to get use to people calling soda, pop. In the Northeast it's soda or we call it by it's brand name, Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc. I found my self calling it pop more and more when when I returned home. Most parts of the country soda is called pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozebabe Posted May 11, 2008 #14 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Getting the "pop" on board is no problem. What can be the problem is enjoying it after you open it. Coke (specifically) has different recipes around the world to satisfy different tastes. Some recipes taste a lot like Dr pepper. The Coke I bought in Barbados was un-drinkable. It was horrible. We threw out five 20 oz. bottles. I am a die-hard Cokaholic. Dont mess with my pop !!!! If I cant have the cans that are made in my home town I dont drink it. It is just not the same. I would think all recipes in the US are the same so it must be the local water that makes it taste different. So beware of buying pop in other countries.

I have got burned more than once on nasty tasting coke. I now either bring it on board when I first board. Or buy in a port I know has coke as we know it. St. Thomas and St. Maarten are two ports I know that is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuttycruisegirl Posted May 11, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The coke in Jamaica was yucky! They said it was because there was no corn syrup...My friends liked it, I wanted a coke from Sonic! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted May 11, 2008 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I buy my pop in FL before getting on the ship. I like Dr. Pepper so I take enough to have 1 or 2 a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now live in Atlanta and it's soda. Or coke! That always made me laugh down there...what's a Sprite? Coke! I grew up in WI and IL, and it was always "pop". I switched I "soda" when I lived in Atlanta and I haven't gone back now that I'm back in IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted May 11, 2008 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2008 If my wife sees Mt.Dew on an island, she'll grab up a few for the ship. I'm not so fussy; rum mixes with almost anything, soda or pop!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lds26 Posted May 11, 2008 #21 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Wow the things that we all think about. I was thinking the same thing. I ordered a Diet Pepsi on two different flights and both tasted different. One thing that I love to buy when I am in the US is Cherry Coke or Wild Cherry Pepsi. We dont get that often here, we used to get it sometimes but they have not had it here for about 2 years now. So if anyone out there wants to smuggle some across the border or mail me some let me know :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
