Hello all!

Thank you.

You do not get a choice with the CBP. Cans, bottles or brands.

I don't doubt you or even the officer however I doubt the officer's source and perhaps there's some missing context.  X still has aluminum soda cans, why not change those to plastic?  Aluminum is one of the easiest materials to recycle and therefore not difficult to locate recycling facilities.  They got rid of the cans at the same time they implemented other cost-cutting measures which was why they probably changed...From wiki

Thanks - our conversation was strictly about the water bottles after I saw so much plastic waste.  This was about where ports are that they offload recycling related to how easy and economical it was.

That's why I also said "could change from one cruise to another".

I can’t verify the accuracy but 2 bartenders on the Ascent told us they were moving away from the cans as passengers were cutting there hands when opening.

I heard this on one of my sailings and chatted with a cruiser who cut his hand
