Johnc3211 Posted February 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2022 We are getting liquor in room and want limes for drinks. Can I bring them in luggage? Where can I get them on ship? Also do I have to carry CPCP machine on ship or can I put in luggage. Canival website says carry on but wondered if allowed in luggage.

Schoifmom Posted February 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I don't know about limes (if you do take them, take them in your carry on to avoid questions). Regarding your Cpap, carry it on!! (1) It will trigger something in the x-ray, which will delay the arrival of your luggage. (2) What would you do if your luggage is lost?? Are you prepared to sleep without it for your entire cruise and then pay to replace it when you return? Insurance will not cover it if it is in check luggage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted February 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I am assuming there will be cut up limes at the Blue Iguana location for you to grab from the salsa bar or that any bar will give you a few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisesCorgisAndCamping Posted February 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I wouldnt risk the limes. More than likely they will not get on the ship and I'm sure they have limes at the buffet or bar or ask your room steward where you can get some. I wouldnt risk my cpap in my suitcase either it could get broken or lost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2022 CPAP in anything other than carry on does not compute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted February 2, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2022 @Johnc3211 Not to get too terribly off topic, but I know Hartville!!! Hartville Kitchen was one of my favorite places to eat back when it was a little hole-in-the-wall type place 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted February 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2022 For the Alaska cruises in Seattle, anyone on Carnival that reported that they will be bringing on a CPAP machine is usually directed to guest services at check-in to confirm that they have their machine with them in hand. If the passenger has their CPAP machine with them at guest services, they are checked-in and allowed to board. If the passenger states that the CPAP machine is in their checked luggage, they are asked if the machine is a medical necessity (like could they die without it). If they answer yes to the medical necessity question, then the passenger is asked to wait and longshore is directed to retrieve the checked luggage containing the CPAP machine. Passenger then takes it out and carries the CPAP machine on to the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan_Cruiser Posted February 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You can put your CPAP in your luggage if you want to but it is at risk of being lost. It will work. I have done it on both an airplane and a cruise but I don't make it a habit. (I can sleep with out it for a few nights if I had too and I have a second machine that is brand new just in case.)

Pyrate13 Posted February 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Not only could it get lost but the way baggage is handled makes me cringe to think of my CPAP being in one of those bags being tossed. Consider the possibility of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri travel girl Posted February 3, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I will be carrying my cpap, but what about distilled water onboard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mandatory, they have it onboard. But the water through the spigot on the ship will suffice for the length of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama Justice Posted February 3, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2022 You can call room service once you get in your cabin. They will bring you a gallon of distilled water. $3 will be charged to your onboard account. But yes the water in your sink is just fine to use also.

I noticed a full glass container of fresh limes at the Blue Iguana condiments station free for the taking. With all of the Agricultural restrictions, I wouldn't carry them on the ship. And they'd confiscate your jackknife you'd need to cut them 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take my word for it, I've only had a CPAP for the past 20 years while cruising as well. Distilled water helps with any impurities in normal tap water from accumulating inside your machine and especially in your water chamber. The desalination process with the ships water means it's substantially better than your water at home and will be OK to use on your cruise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I have used a CPAP for ~20 years myself, using only tap water. As of today, I am still not dead, nor have I ever experienced any negatives. I don't let the water evaporate (some people might call this distilling) out completely, so there is no issue with calcification on the reservoir. And, on the very rare instance that it does happen, a nice vinegar soak takes care of it promptly. Which really, it's an excellent cleaning solution anyway. Again, 20 years. Not dead. Never broke a CPAP.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done the Alaska cruise 3 times and never had to go to guest services with our CPAP machines nor have we had to do this on any cruise period. Alway carry on your machine luggage is occasionally misplaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnc3211 Posted February 3, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Thanks all. Just was thinking I didn't want to carry backpack with essentials and 12 pack of mixer for liquor and CPAP around on ship until we get in cabin. Planning now to use small wheeled carry on.

Earthworm Jim Posted February 3, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Related CPAP question: Do you need to declare you have a CPAP in advance before boarding? My wife doesn't plan on using it on the cruise. Going a week without it isn't a problem for her. But as the cruise is part of a longer trip she'll have it with her and she's reluctant to leave it in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted February 3, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I don't always declare mine, never been a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runnersuzy Posted February 6, 2022 #23 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Carry on Cpap, order water from room service. You can buy unsweetened lime powder and will work. Can not bring agricultural products on board. Bought gin on a back to Bach with sugar free tonic carried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purvis1231 Posted February 6, 2022 #25 Share Posted February 6, 2022 At one time you could order a "bar set up" from room service with the things you need for your room beverage service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
