Bottled water - Freedom of the Seas

Can we bring our own case of water on the ship?

Technically prohibited, but usually allowed.

Have you personally done it?

Not Freedom, but Enchantment, at the same port.

Lol Bob I was just thinking - How many times over the years do you think you have answered the question "Can I bring a case of water onboard?"

Over/under 85

I suggest you either put it inside a checked bag, or take it in a carry-on bag.

I took a case of water on freedom last June. Put it in a suitcase, checked it, then used the suitcase for souvenirs on the way home.

Took a case of unopened water in a checked bag on the Freedom in April. It had a note inside saying it had been cleared.

This is a late follow up post but they would not let us take our case of water on board. We "donated" it to the very hot guys working in the bus unloading area.

Some ports will not take the case with a luggage tag, it has to have handles.

So put it in a duffel bag with a tag.

Last RCI cruise for us we took a case of water and just put a bag tag on it drop it off with other bags. Water was first to arrive..

We used to take bottles of water on board. We were never challenged. We also bought bottled water at ports to take back on the ship and had no problems there.

These days I would consider paying for the package where you get a fixed number of bottles delivered to your cabin on the first day. This is just for convenience, happy to pay the premium.

If you are in a suite, you get free bottled water in the suite lounge. Plus, recently they changed Diamond perks to include bottled water during happy hour. Finally, I always request water as my welcome gift in the cabin. Because of these reasons, I haven't needed to pay for bottled water or take it on board the ship.

This has happened to us at Port Canaveral, which is why we put the water in a rolling carry-on suitecase now.
