Cruisecrazy94 Posted July 22, 2019 #27 Share Posted July 22, 2019 No we're not flying and just got this reply back from RCCL. Since the original container is HUGE and has 45 servings in it, not sure what I'll do now...: Good Afternoon,Thank you for contacting the Access Department.You are allowed to bring, non-perishable food items such as cookies, crackers, chips, energy bars, etc. These items must not require refrigeration and be sealed in the original store bought containers.Best regards,Yavonna Thames-HarveyAccess Advocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjen Posted July 23, 2019 #28 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I see no trouble whatsoever in just carrying it on board with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted July 23, 2019 #29 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It is no trouble...... Until it is trouble. If you NEED it, get a smaller container to take with you. You may get a bag of it onboard, or you may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsKC08 Posted July 23, 2019 #30 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm a keto girl, and I bring mct oil powder or high fat powder (ketologie) when I travel or cruise. I've never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted July 24, 2019 #31 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yes, that is fine. But the next time you MIGHT have issues. The rules state unopened container. And while it seems they do not enforce it on a regular basis, the CAN enforce it at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canmilitarywife Posted August 15, 2019 #32 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I don’t do powder but the premixed protein drink. Will it be ok if I bring like 14-20 of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poompalou Posted August 15, 2019 #34 Share Posted August 15, 2019 We took a 30 oz. container of protein powder with us (unopened) on our Freedom cruise out of San Juan last year, no issues. We also took a small blender (magic bullet type). I even called RCCL prior to ask about the blender because I was afraid of it being confiscated, and RCCL had no definitive answer. They said "well it doesn't say anywhere in the rules that it's not allowed, but it's up to the individual port." You said you're not flying so not an issue, but in airports, I have had my carry-on separately screened even with individual packets of protein powder. They test it and give it back as long as it comes back 'clean' - but it does take some extra time. Not sure if they are as rigorous at the cruise terminals.

While you may not have issues once the containers are on board, if you go through the terminal security line with them in your carry on, they may questions them there - they don't work for RCI.

I was only going to carry 1 in my carry on and the others in my suit case checked. That way any issue in security I will drink it right on spot. Since they are 11oz, not allowed in carry on in airports. Thanks for heads up tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize that the new soda policy expects the customer to carry on the beverages. You might be OK, but may end up in the naughty room to collect your luggage.

Creatine and Protein Powder could be added to any juice or smoothie, and covered on the refreshment package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. We've asked that on Oasis and Allure and they said beverages with protein powder were not included with any package. Yet another RC inconsistency.

Yet another RC inconsistency. it might have something to do with how the beverages are priced. The entire menu at Vitality Spa was priced at 6.25 - perhaps it was covered because of the price? YMMV and my experience on Symphony may not be representative 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
