trumpetfish55 Posted October 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Are there limits on how much soda and/or club soda you can bring on board? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF - retired RRT Posted October 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Soda, water, club soda...whatever, no limit. The only limits are on wine. One bottle per adult passenger. After that "free" one (which is supposed to be consumed in your cabin, but you can pour it into a glass and wander freely), it's $15 corkage whether it's consumed in your cabin or not.

satxdiver Posted October 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The limit is how much you want to carry aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted October 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The limit is how much you want to carry aboard. I think this is the best answer to this question. Because it’s been asked soooooooooo many times. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfuzzy Posted October 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2017 What about liquor? Can you bring any quantity on board? You can bring as much liquor on board as you want, just be prepared to wave bye bye at the door and just maybe see it again at the end of the cruise to carry it all home.

Steelers36 Posted October 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2017 These repetitive questions always posting a new thread get tiring. I wish Cruise Critic mgmt would do something like have a FAQ section or more dedicated threads to the topics that get posted over and over and over again. It would be far better and more efficient for all concerned. I'd even volunteer to help set it up. Suggested FAQ posts: 1) Clothing recommendations 2) How much liquid refreshment can I bring on board? 3) How do I bring my own soda/wine/water on board? 3) How does the corkage fee for wine work?

eagletwo Posted October 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 13, 2017 After reading these boards since 2005, I really have learned a great deal from members that have been there and done that. I to am tired about the same questions asked every week, month and year by members that are too lazy to do a little research. I don't ever mean to stop someone from asking a question, but please, stop asking questions that can be Googled that will give you a link to Cruise Critic, which will answer 99% of the questions.

neverbeenhere Posted October 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 13, 2017 As long as we are asking questions about bringing sodas onboard, is the amount that I can carry really the limit to the amount of soda I can bring aboard? I'm thinking that I might get a baggage handler to follow me to the taxi that I had stop at Walmart to pick up the 60 cases of soda that I purchased. Of course, I will "slap" a luggage tag on the stack and give the baggage handler a $5 tip. Do you think I will get delivery to my stateroom prior to disembarkation? :evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Agree. But.....I worked retail for EVER, the most frustrating part of my job? Being asked 50 times a shift..where is the wash room,where's the bathroom, can you tell me where the bathroom is, where is the rest room, Yo, men's room, well you get the point. Every person we had to smile and direct them, not point, to the correct place. We were told that just because we are asked the same question 50 times a day, every time that person asked, it was that persons ONLY time they asked.

Cancruizer Posted October 13, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have to say, I am surprised that some posters choose to open this thread, read through, and then take time to comment but not to be helpful. I know that I have brought these items in the past, and surely I or anyone else can google as well as search the forum and message boards. However I like to hear from people that have sailed recently. Perhaps others may feel the same and that is why they ask on a current, live message board. If people don`t want to answer, why not move along rather than chastise? Anyway, jmho. On my part I am happy to hear that sodas and water can still be brought onboard as many other cruiselines have changed their policy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Cruise Critic mgmt would do something like have a FAQ section or more dedicated threads to the topics that get posted over and over and over again. They continue, because posters reply. There are folks here who build their post counts by answering "What's a coffee card?" every day. Please don't take this away from them. This is their life. Otherwise, rather than posting some rant about repetative topics, when some posts a rerun, reply with a link to an existing thread and move on.

floridalover5623 Posted October 14, 2017 #20 Share Posted October 14, 2017 What about liquor? Can you bring any quantity on board? It depends on how crafty you are. :D I always manage to take enough for my needs and don't forget that you can leave the ship & reenter with additional loads at distant ports. ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcruiser5356 Posted October 14, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 14, 2017 What about liquor? Can you bring any quantity on board? You aren't supposed to and they can confiscate it.

Ox Fan Cruiser Posted October 14, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It depends on how crafty you are. :DI always manage to take enough for my needs and don't forget that you can leave the ship & reenter with additional loads at distant ports. ;) ;) on a family cruise my son took a plastic wrapped (as you would buy it in a store) case of bottled "water" aboard. He bought two cases to fool the security. on one case he cut the tops off the plastic bottles. He left the caps & breakaway seal rings intact. Then he put the cut off caps with seals in place in boiling water. The boiling water softened the plastic tops of the bottles so he could remove the caps & seals without breaking them. For the other case he gently removed the bottles from the case without breaking the plastic wrap of the case. He opened the bottles removing the caps & breakaway seals. after pouring the booze in the bottles he used the intact caps & seals that he boiled off the sacrificial bottles to reseal the bottles to "original" condition. The seal rings should stay unbroken when you screw the caps on. They only break when you screw them off. Then he gently replaced the bottles into the case with shrink wrapped plastic. He was smart enough not to tell us about this until after we were in our cabins. He didn't want us looking guilty at the security check point.

That's a good one for boarding on RCCI but the security for Princess in Florida never checks that closely for opened bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are repetitive questions on the boards. But, honestly, if the title of the message thread is a repetitive one (e.g. bringing soda on board) and you've heard it all before, why do you even read the thread? Seems to me that would solve the problem of reading repetitive threads, especially if you've been "reading these boards since 2005." Just wondering.

Driving from RI to NYC instead of flying to Florida made a family cruise affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
