kalmich Posted September 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Does anyone know if Carnival makes an exception for Ensure? My friend has a medical condition and needs to drink this every day. It's a special formula under a prescription. I believe it comes in plastic bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoifmom Posted September 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) @Elaine5715is almost correct 🙂 Ensure most commonly comes in bottles; however, there are certain formulas that come in cartons. There is also a nutritional powder that can be brought on board and is the same as the Ensure original forumla. You just mix with water.

jennas_mum Posted September 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2022 My son has a G-Tube and we have to take pediasure with us. It is cans but definitely more than 12. We have never had an issue. You can always contact the special needs department and get the OK before you cruise. Donna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that anything with a prescription would be exempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have them email Carnival special needs and make sure but I would assume like @staceyglow it would be fine as it is prescribed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted September 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Don't guess or assume, definitely e-mail special needs. Bring a hard copy of any approval attached to the ensure, so when the security guard and his supervisor, who don't work for Carnival or know any better, you have the approval right there.

I would not assume given the numerous things people want an exemption from the policies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
