Bringing your own soda

[mlewing]

Hello,

 

Does Royal Caribbean allow each person to bring (12) 17oz. of soda cans/bottles upon boarding?  Can the same be done when reboarding after visiting each port?

 

Thanks

It's per stateroom, not per person.  And no, the only time you can bring it onboard is when you board at the beginning of the cruise.  So whether there is just one of you or six of you in a stateroom, you can only bring on 12 cans/bottles total.

Only if each person is in their own stateroom.

Although not allowed we have had no issues bringing back 3 or 4 at port stops.

One 12 pack per stateroom at embarkation only.  Single cans *might* be allowed  at port stops

I do not think you will have to worry about that for a long time.

Why would you even bother?

I 'bother' because most cruise lines including RCL do not stock Pepsi products.

NCL and Carnival are both Pepsi lines.

I think they will probably be so happy to have you onboard, that they probably won't care.

Got that right, have brought Mt Dew on Royal Ships since 1988. Always bring 12- 16.9oz Bottles every Cruise in my Back Pack. Soda Plan next yr going to like $15 a day who can blame me. Went on NCL couple times 20yrs ago, some their ships have/had vending machines with Pepsi product Bottles

Agree. Seen it both ways with some sailings passengers having discard their pack and even just single bottles of Soda at Port Stops.

Between  NCL and Carnival there are currently  40+ ships who have Pepsi products. Read...currently, not 20 yrs ago

Bliss has one in the arcade and possibly Escape.  Doesn't really matter since all NCL ships as well as Carnival ships all have Pepsi products.  Carnival  just switched this past January.

Agree, a plus either way. Thank you

Glad to hear about Pepsi on Carnival and NCL.  They did not when I sailed them, though it was probably 20+ yrs ago.  Holland America (part of Carnival corp.) had Coke products only last February and on all of the cruises we were on with them.  Same with all of the RCL cruises I have been on.  I stick with RCL and HAL for the crews, not the beverages.  And I can dilute the Diet Coke with Rum later in the day.  My Pepsi Zero is my morning 'coffee'.

Because sometimes you can buy an entire case of soda for what one costs on a cruise ship.
