Grayciegray Posted December 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The policy says no bottled water and soda can be brought on board yet friends who have sailed Princess say they have taken water on and have restocked in ports. I'm sailing Regal in a few weeks- can a recent Regal passenger comment on this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted December 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Where did you see this policy? Princess has never objected to non-alcoholic beverages. People openly carry it on. Some even put a luggage tag on a case had check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted December 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yes, make sure your case of sodas or water is enclosed, slap a luggage tag on that puppy and have it delivered to your cabin along with your luggage.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquilegia Posted December 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm not aware that there has ever been such a policy. Where are you reading this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You can bring water and soda on. But there is no need to bring on more than one refillable bottle per person, as the water on board tastes great, is FREE, doesn't come with a plastic waste problem and is as pure, if not more pure than most bottled waters.

They have issues producing water on board in Alaska . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted December 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The policy says no bottled water and soda can be brought on board .... No such policy on Princess. You must be confusing some other cruise line's policy. Bring as much non-alcoholic beverages as you wish. Realize that the ship's water is as pure or purer than bottled water, so there is really no need to carry on water, just a water bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I agree unless they changed it in the last 3 weeks there is no such policy. Bring in as much as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleysmama Posted December 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2015 We take sodas with us on every cruise and there is no problem we just wrap them together and put a luggage tag on it and it comes to the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted December 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You are confusing Princess policy with Carnival's policy. Carnival no longer allows beverages in bottles to be brought aboard. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted December 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You are confusing Princess policy with Carnival's policy. Carnival no longer allows beverages in bottles to be brought aboard.

alolewis Posted December 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The cruise answer book on the Princess website currently says no soda or bottled water but previous threads said Princess said that was a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted December 9, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I thought for sure I had read where Carnival backed off on that recent policy change. They had originally said that you could only brings on beverages in cans on embarkation. I believed they backed off on the 'embarkation' part.

plunker Posted December 10, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2015 First cruise we went on I put a luggage tag on a 12 pack of coke and it never made it to our room. Now I just take 6 bottles of coke and put it in my carry on and have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted December 10, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The cruise answer book on the Princess website currently says no soda or bottled water but previous threads said Princess said that was a typo. Would have to go check, but have never seen that on the cruise answer book for previous cruises and I usually pour over the info before every cruise.

masterty Posted December 10, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Look at it this way. If it makes it to your cabin you are several 12 packs ahead. If if doesn't make it what are you really out? I bundled 4) 12 packs together and slapped on a room tag. Everything arrived safe and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting find. It's odd -- and unprofessional -- that princess would say on their facebook page that the book is wrong, but not correct the book. Here is a link to another copy of the cruise answer book on the princess web site which does not contain that section. http://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/other/Princess_Cruise_Answer_Book.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jetswdo Posted December 20, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 20, 2015 in Port Everglades. We always check in with our luggage a duffel bag with soda that you can't get on board, and water bottles-- have never had a problem, duffel arrived in our cabin with our two suitcases. If Princess confiscates my caffeine free diet soda and water- then this will be my last cruise on Princess. I have a deposit on a Princess cruise next Sept. as well-- which I will switch to Celebrity (for sodas and water a better deal for us) but I am usually happy with Princess as long as I can bring on my soda and water.....

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 20, 2015 #24 Share Posted December 20, 2015 We were warned that the porters in one FL port refuse to handle cases of water if you just slap a label on them, but we slipped a case into a duffel bag and it went right to our cabin.
