Tuesday's Press Release ????

[mediccruzin]

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.

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!

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

I don't smuggle but its odd how its not a problem on other lines.

[Rottweiler Puppy]

Well honestly if carnival charged a decent price for alcohol as they did with the water no one would try smuggling it on.

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.

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!

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

This was tried already and didn't work.

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.

If at first you don't succeed, try again!! :D

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?

Canned sodas are allowed any time.

Vitamin water zero only comes in bottles. It doesn't even come in powder or enhancers.

Good to know, thanks!

I don't know if they will enforce the change, but as worded, it say embarkation port only.
