bob10173 Posted May 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2017 According to their website, carrying on bottled water is not allowed. Do they enforce that? Not even included with the ultimate drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted May 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yes, it is enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted May 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You may not take on board any water or soft drink. If you take water from the ship in the morning then you must empty the bottle before you return later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yippiolguis Posted May 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2017 What about empty bottles?(reusable or regular plastic ones) I always have water with me, I'd like to have my container for excursions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned11 Posted May 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You can take empty bottles. If you have water in it, you need to drink if you want to keep the bottle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted May 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yes, it's enforced to the point that if you have one bottle of water you are drinking in line you must dump it before you get onto the ship. Empty bottles are fine though. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The checked bag gamble is ok because it's only you getting called to the naughty room........ it's the carry-on bag gamble that drives me bananas..... it's the disrespect to the dozens of people behind you that have to wait because you tried to smuggle a couple bottles of water and now you need to argue with the poor security person, who is just following the cruise lines direction, as you dig them out from the bottom of your bag telling him it's a stupid rule blah blah blah and all the while refusing to step aside to allow others to pass.

tempus137 Posted May 16, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We were just on the Star out of Venice, and the couple in front of us at check-in had a 6 pack of liter bottles that they just carried on. No questions asked. So I guess it depends on the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throwing this out there, are you sure they did it intentionally - carry the water, not argue since that's obviously intentional. :D I only ask because I always carry a water bottle with me and have forgotten to take it out,(or not really thought about it) when going through security, until they've pointed it out to me. It annoys me that they have to take it, but I completely understand that it's their ship and they make the rules, so I will empty the bottle without arguing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a lot in their carry on luggage. One person had a case in a carry on suitcase, another had five or six bottles in a backpack. In the area next to the person at the end of the scanner, there were cases, gallon jugs, six packs, single bottles, etc. of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
