mediccruzin Posted June 9, 2015 #101 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, that puts an end to smuggling booze in bottles, and soda will have to be purchased on board. Another revenue boost for Carnival. It won't affect me or DH as we don't bring those things on board. Glad they still let us bring a bottle of wine though. Stil can bring sodas, just has to be in a 12 ounce can. Guess this also cuts out certain energy drinks also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansmith18 Posted June 9, 2015 #102 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I want to give a big THANK YOU shout out to all the idiots and morons whom enjoy smuggling alcohol onto the ship. Without you, we would not be dealing with this new policy #Watergate np! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitecap Posted June 9, 2015 #103 Share Posted June 9, 2015 All this hoopla about nothing; you can still bring soda, you can still bring wine, you can still bring water; only difference is NO BOTTLES (glass or plastic). You can get all the favorite sodas and juices in cans. Next big announcement: SMOKE FREE CRUISING! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rottweiler Puppy Posted June 9, 2015 #105 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Well honestly if carnival charged a decent price for alcohol as they did with the water no one would try smuggling it on.Source: http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6398 I don't drink much and with the prices of alcohol on ships, I have maybe 4 the whole week. If they want to increase alcohol revenues, lower the price a tad. I would gladly buy more but from what I have seen, Carnival has no shortage of heavy drinkers willing to pay for it.

SMSACE6 Posted June 9, 2015 #106 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I am ok with the new water bottle rule, with the price of 2.99 on board. At least they made this announcement as promised and ON TIME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on drink prices. I might buy two drinks on a 7 night cruise. If a mix drink was 4 or 5 dollars I would buy more. Same with pictures. I don't buy them because what they charge. Lower the price and I might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandatsea Posted June 9, 2015 #109 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We are ok with the new rule since we usually brought soda onboard in cans anyway & the water price is at a good price point with no longer having to lug the water upon embarkation. Longer voyages like our 13 day Sunshine, will result in rationing my Dew since only allowed 12 cans per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitecap Posted June 9, 2015 #111 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The new policy is specific to "embarkation day" and "buying alcohol in ports" but does not address buying canned soda in ports; allowed or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare skittl1321 Posted June 9, 2015 #116 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Canned sodas are allowed any time. I don't know if they will enforce the change, but as worded, it say embarkation port only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
