Can I take a case (or two) of soda onboard?

[vwalk]

My family doesn't care for Coke products and would like to take Pepsi on the ship. RCCL customer service says no, but can't show me where it's written.

Unless something has changed that i dont know about, then you are allowed to take soda and water on board!

[rummenroman]

Absolutly!!! I'll use my luggage tags and duck tape a couple of cases of water and soda together for when i go in January!

Certainly, although some on here will look down their noses at you and/or blame you for most of the world's problems if you do. :rolleyes:

 

Just ignore them, or do what I do and laugh at their silliness :D

Still not on the list of prohibited items - and they are pretty specific - and seem to be updated recently - ie clothes steamers didn't used to be on the list and is now

 

Prohibited items:

Candles

Coffee Makers

Electrical Transformers (not including personal electronics: cell phone chargers, laptop power adapters etc.)

Flammable Liquids and Explosives (such as fireworks)

HAM radio equipment

We have always just duct taped a couple of 12 packs together and put a luggage tag on it. Also take a case of bottles water and do the same thing. I have never had a provlem.

The generally accepted restriction is "reasonable" amount. If you are talking about multiple cases of soda and multiple cases of water, I would not be surprised if they refused.

Can you carry water or soda in your carryon or does it have to be with your checked luggage that you drop off at the pier? And can you bring your own beer on the ship?

You are not permitted to carry on any alcohol.

Thanks everyone. This forum is awesome. I spoke to a RCCL employee AND her supervisor who insisted the only soda that I could take onboard was the one I was carrying in my hand. I'm going with the opinion of the experienced people on this forum.

I think if folks keep pushing the limits of reasonable, eventually RCL is going to put rules on this too. Carnival started enforcing the size of coolers now which limits how much soda and water you can carry on in a cooler. Im waiting for RCL to follow suit. As long as RCL lets them carry on any amount out in the open, folks will push the limits.

Goodness..... goes to show we have to keep checking eh.... I didn't know about the steamers either.... looks like lacrosse players are still safe though..... ;)

We took an extra suitcase on board.... had 2 boxes of caffeine free diet coke and 2 of Evian inside. No problems at all especially as we were driving to the port. Asked for the fridge to be emptied and we were happy bunnies.

We have always gone down a day early and bought soda and water for us to take on the ship. We have put it in either our carry on bags or in our checked. They have never told us we could not carry on water.

Until there is some guideline from RCl what is reasonable? As long as it's for personal consumption I would bring as much as I need which would vary depending on the length of the cruise. At some point you need to ask yourself is it worth it to just buy the soda sticker.
