Taking drinks off ship

[Mum2max]

We have purchased the deluxe drink package. We are sailing on oasis in 10 days. My question is can you get cans of coke from the bar? Unopened ? Can you take these off ship for use on your excursions ?

The beverage packages do not normally include cans of soda, only fountain soda.

How would you keep them cold? And I believe it may be one can at a time. For one stop in alicante I had the soda package and used my rccl cup for the soda then poured it into my thermos which keeps my water cold when running. It was eh. No fizz. I'd just use water or buy soda at port. Jmo.

While not soda, with the deluxe package package we have taken bottled water off the ship with us for our shore excursions.

If a food/beverage item is commercially packaged, you should be able to take it off the ship as long as it is unopened.

Is there any thing else apart from water that is packaged and unopened...like cartons of juice ? Do they check your bags when you get off the ship and when you get back on ?

With the beverage package, not only are there alcoholic drinks but water is included. We have, on many occasions, taken bottles of water off the ship with us.

Nothing comes to mind that is included with the beverage package.

Oasis class ships (not sure about other classes) have Powerade available at the Vitality Cafe. We usually get a few of those for shore excursions in addition to water.

The only canned drink I have gotten with the beverage package is red bull.

Depends on the port/country. St. Martin, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Labadee, Coco Cay - no.

Mexico - Yes.

In Mexico they only care about unpackaged food. Drinks and most packaged snacks are fine.

The only unopened item you get from the beverage package is water, and that you can carry off the ship with you. They even usually have a person handing it out with your ID right before getting off.

The OP is sailing on Oasis. They can also get Powerade in unopened bottles from the Vitality Cafe. Red Bull is also available.

All bags were checking getting back onto the ship in St Thomas and At Marteen. You can get cans of soda. People without the package do. Just ask for it and hope they remember not to open it before bringing it to you. But to help the local economy for that dollar, I’d suggest buying the soda on land.

If you are paying individually for soda you get a can (I think it's around $4) but if you have a package you only get fountain. OP was asking about getting cans with a package which you do not.

[Gloworm2]

Right. They will have to pay the $4

Just bring a 12 pack of soda with you on board.

[Mum2max]

I thought that you were not allowed to take drinks on board

Technically prohibited, but usually allowed.

I’ve never seen them enforce it. We take a 24 pack of Dasani and usually a 12 pack of coke on every cruise. I tried buying the Evian water once and it tastes horrible so we bring Dasani. Worse case scenario your out like $8 if they take it. A lot of people however don’t even put it in luggage and tape a luggage tag to a case of water and it gets delivered to the room.
