CruiserJul Posted September 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2013 We are new to RCI and not sure what you can bring on board in terms of wine or soda. Carnival lets you bring a bottle of wine per person plus a 12 pack of soda...is RCI similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWbytheSEA Posted September 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Two 750ML bottles of wine PER CABIN not per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival lets you bring a bottle of wine per person plus a 12 pack of soda...is RCI similar? Royal's policy is no beverages except for the two bottles of wine mentioned above. However, that policy is usually not enforced for water and soda. They seem to enforce it more around spring break, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahleebones Posted September 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hold the phone! Are you saying that I can bring TWO bottles if I'm cruising solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hold the phone! Are you saying that I can bring TWO bottles if I'm cruising solo? Yes, two bottles per stateroom, regardless of the number of guests in the stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserJul Posted September 27, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Good news about the wine! Since we are not going during spring break maybe we will try to get a small amount of soda on. Thanks for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick02809 Posted September 27, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2013 On our last RCI cruise on the Freedom, we met a couple from New York. They were able to bring on vodka using a rumrunner bag, supposedly it's x-ray proof, and she hid it in a shoe... Whatever, We booked today for the Freedom again, and with an on board credit from the T/A of $150, combined with a credit from Crown & Anchor of $125 as well as our RCI Visa points, we already have almost $600 in stateroom credits. If you stay loyal to 1 line, and enroll ina loyalty program, eventually it pays off.RCI offers a VISA with 10,000 points for signing up ($100 cash) value and you earn 1 point per dollar spent, double when you spend with RCI. Eventually, if you stay with one cruise line, you actually save money by cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travln1234 Posted September 27, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm hoping we can bring soda on board. No caffeine or sugar for me, and I'm guessing diet 7-up or diet sprite is not available on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other credit cards such as Capital One give you 2 points for each $100 spent as opposed to the 1 point RCI gives. With that return you can surpass the TA and other OBC offers real fast. In addition the points can be used on any cruise for any purpose with NO limitations or any other travel for that matter. The RCI points are so restrictive that there is a thread with over 500 posts here on CC with everyone trying to figure out when where how and if they can use their RCI points.

lakelorain Posted September 27, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Diet Sprite is available on the ship. If you ask for Diet Sprite they may say they don't have it. They have Sprite Zero. This has happened to my DH several times. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
