coldflame Posted November 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hey folks, Can we bring water bottles and soft drinks on board on embarkation? And if so, what are the limits? We sail out of Port Canaveral if that makes any difference. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Redsky5292 Posted November 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2022 We bring water bottles and fill them up at the bars. We ask for water with no ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare genealogyfan Posted November 11, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I was able to bring a bottle of water back from the local ports (it was in the US and Canada). After I bought a small water bottle, I was able to take it off and back on at the next ports. This wasn't the first day, but the subsequent days in ports. I've packed an empty water bottle in my checked luggage and then just fill it up at the buffet (you are supposed to fill up the cups of ice/water and then put those in your water bottle, which I did, but many don't).

julig22 Posted November 11, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2022 At embarkation, no. Security is much more lenient at port stops, so water or soft drinks can often get through. Just back from Europe and in a number of the ports security checks were in the terminal and there was a duty free shop where you could buy soda & water after your bags were scanned. Interestingly, the usual "no food or beverages off/on the ship" was not part of the info in the Freestyle Daily for those ports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverages - taking them off should be ENCOURAGED, to reduce risk of dehydration in port. Haven't been questioned about taking bottles of water off the ship, even refillable bottles that have no factory seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen "no beverages off the ship" in the Freestyle Daily. I can't remember the last time we didn't take water with us when going ashore.

Both of you absolutely know that water bottles are allowed off the ship - and are also fully aware that they don't check bags going off the ship either. Finding food would be the job of the dogs in the terminal, depending on the port. Must be a slow news day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL has always allowed unlimited bottles of wine for a $15 corkage fee, now if you have the UBP (I think the majority do) unlimited wine can be brought onboard for free.

Rare Tree_skier Posted November 14, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Well this sucks... DW needs to drink Alkaline water for digestive reasons. We are boarding POA in just under two weeks and we planned on brining a six pack with us. We're regular Royal Caribbean cruisers and just assumed this is ok. She needs just one a day. Would they stock any alkaline water onboard that she could order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they stock any alkaline water onboard that she could order? Have you filled out the Special Needs request form? I have no personal experience with it, but I believe I've read on here that they will allow people to bring special beverages onboard as required for medical reasons. https://ncl.secure.force.com/AccessDeskForm/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
