D34DP000L Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hello, First time cruiser here will be leaving on Carnival Valor this Saturday and well up until this point I have been planning on taking a 12 pack of soda with us because that's what everyone says to do. Today I received an email from Carnival about "Important Information" and scrolled through it going ok got that got this but then I saw this... "Guests are not allowed to bring bottled beverages, i.e., water, sodas and other non-alcoholic drinks on board. Please review our beverage policy located in our FAQs at help.carnival.com" Does this mean I cannot bring a 12 pack of soda or just no bottles. I have been told numerous time to take a 12 pack so I won't have to go searching for something to drink in the middle of the night. Second, we opted to do the CHEERS! package because we like to drink and won't have a problem getting our monies worth on this. I know it doesn't start on day one, but my question is does this cover drinks at MDR? Thanks D34DP000L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be my second cruise but it has been about six years since then so I still feel like a newbie. But I have been doing lots of research... to answer your question, you are not allowed to bring "bottles". On the FAQ web page it states that a small quantity (12per person) of non alcoholic beverages packaged in CANS is allowed. We are planning to take cans of seltzer water and the like, but it must be brought in your carry-on bag, not your checked bag. Same goes for the bottle of wine that you are allowed to bring on, must be in the carry-on bag. Hope that helps!

teknoge3k Posted January 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yes, you can take a 12pk of soda in cans with you. The FAQ you posted clearly states BOTTLES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda is also included in Cheers, so unless you have some specific reason to carry some on, save yourself the trouble :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted January 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Taking your own soda is MUCH cheaper than Cheers. You can also get more soda in the ports you visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted January 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2018 No problem, bring 12 sodas in cans(!) per person on any Carnival ship. They no longer allow any thing in bottles to be taken on because people were bring gin & vodka in them! You can just carry them on, don't need to put in back back. You'll see others just carrying them on. But, you are allowed wine in bottles and they check to make sure they have never been opened. If you buy a coke, in the can, it is $2.25 plus 15% for the tip. We are cruise-a-holics, just got off our 8th this year - all on Carnival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
