CPCruiser4Life Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 12 per stateroom or per person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertomatohead Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I'd like to see someone bring on 12 one or two liter bottles. I've only tried 16.9 oz bottles. The limit is 17 ounces. It's 12 per stateroom. Their FAQ search is terrible but I managed to find it: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/food-drink-onboard-policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swar Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Many times, my wife and I both carry on our own 12 packs. Only been questioned one time about it. I had put all 24 cans in a single carry on. Luckily, we actually had two staterooms on that particular cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Looks like a good thread to ask this one: I've never brought soft drinks or water on board before...Just not worth the hassle... On Celebrity and Princess, I always have the unlimited drink packages...so no need. Last couple of Royal cruises, I've bought my wife the "Water package"--12 CANS of water in the cabin. And there's the problem: Cans suck...Can't just screw a cap on like with a bottle...really bad when taking a water into port with you. So, my thought is to forget the water package and just bring along a bunch of small water bottles (my wife insists on bottled water...no tap). So, here's the question: If I pack those bottles in my checked luggage, will Royal Caribbean somehow flag the luggage and send it to the "naughty room" until I show up to show them it's just water...and I'm not smuggling tequila or rum?

Yes, you do run the risk of your checked luggage getting held. Policy also states non-alcoholic beverages are to be carried on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink Diet Mountain Dew so would like to carry those. I would like to be able to bring something else for my husband and son. Would it be a problem if I carry on one 12 pack and my husband brings on another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If...they see it they might hold it. Just carry it you when you walk through security and you'll be good to go. Swar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a problem if I carry on one 12 pack and my husband brings on another? The policy is 12 up to 17 ounces per stateroom. It's in the FAQ. How strict they are in enforcement depends. You can risk it but you might get someone who takes their job way too seriously. Anyone telling you it'll be fine isn't going to be there with you when you embark. I can tell you they do check as recently as Jan on my cruise. They inspected my bottles individually in January but my other cruise a few months later they just did the x-ray. By the way, they don't have to be the same drinks or packaged together. You can mix and match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell her to bring a re-usable water bottle on board and have it filled at the bar or soda machines before leaving the ship for a port. That way she still gets cold, filtered water, not directly from the tap (although the tap water on the ship is filtered and cleaner than just about any water you can get) and you don't have to worry about carrying all those bottles or paying for a package.

If your carryon bag contained sodas that exceeded the maximum allowance than it stands the risk of being pulled and items removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I thought maybe they would check boarding passes. It sounds like it won't be a problem then. Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertomatohead Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 The crew might notice the piles of soda you have in your cabin but I doubt they'll do anything about it. HAHA. I have taken 2 liter bottles from ports back on the ship. I figure if they make a stink about it I'll just take the loss. I know the rules.
