AllieInMD Posted October 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2008 no - you can bring soda and water etc. We're going on RCCL's Voyager in January. Will there be a problem bringing our own diet cokes onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danp Posted October 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Aggie,also when you get to your room and you meet your room steward,ask that they take the soda that is in the fridge out so you can put yours in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virga Posted October 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2008 How does RCL feel about us bringing a styro cooler for our drinks? We get at least a couple a year from family members who really think I love Omaha Steaks. We brought one on our last cruise, and it was perfect! It did arrive to our room all smashed up, but the sodas were cold. We left it in the cabin when we left. How does RCCL feel about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 29, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2008 You can bring a cooler--your room attendant will (or should!) keep it stocked with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piercetc4 Posted October 29, 2008 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2008 we are thinking of bringing a case of diet dr pepper and a case of water- for 2 couples to share- have been told we could duct tape them together and put a luggage tag on it and it will be delivered to the cabin like that? going to try it in jan to see how it works out instead of us carrying it on - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 29, 2008 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2008 We used a suitcase for our caffeine free diet coke and mineral water. The empty space on the return was just dandy for souvenirs. The joy of this was however due to the fact we could drive to the port. Will probably try the duct tape method for our next cruise from a foreign port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted October 29, 2008 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Like alcohol, there is plenty of soda and water available for purchase. RCCL uses Coke products – so to the OP – no need to carry your own. Also - the tap water tastes good. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas80 Posted October 29, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Aggie,also when you get to your room and you meet your room steward,ask that they take the soda that is in the fridge out so you can put yours in. You can also just empty your fridge yourself. We usually take everything out and place it on the highest shelf above the tv, and then replace with our stuff.

sas80 Posted October 29, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 29, 2008 If you are going to do this, my suggestion is to purchase "ringed" 6 packs so you can spread them "eagle" in your suitcase, but still have them on the plastic rings - in order to keep them from moving around too much and possibly being punctured. Hey...how come no one has swooped in and accused everyone of being soda-holics, and revenue-stealers for speaking about smuggling soda.....? Smells like a double standard to me! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one case I had extra luggage tags and used them, in another case I made my own luggage tags using paper, a sharpie and clear packing tape. No worries, no problems, delivered right to my room.

Virga Posted October 29, 2008 #19 Share Posted October 29, 2008 LOL, oh, I'm sure they absolutely love disposing of your trash! Well, we'd have brought the darn thing home if they hadn't knocked big holes in it! No note, no nothing - just a styro cooler leaking all over the hallway. We put it in the shower till all the ice melted, then used it to store the stuff from our fridge. We had actually intended to bring it with us to the private island, but as it turned out we weren't there long enough to miss it. We figured that was why we didn't have to go to the 'naughty room' to prove our soda wasn't beer - because they felt bad about busting the cooler. I'm one of those who *hates* styrofoam, and I definitely would have brought it home if it was still usable.

waterbugohio Posted October 29, 2008 #21 Share Posted October 29, 2008 So is there caffeine free diet coke on board?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2NnB Posted October 29, 2008 #22 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Logistically, how do you check soda and water? Do you just wrap them with clear packing tape to reinforce seams and/or plastic? Can you put them in a cardboard box and tape this or will they open it to see what is inside? Not trying to smuggle, just want to bring a few mixers for my wine and champagne purchase. I am hypoglycemic and should not mix with those sugary mixers them have. Figured if I bring my own SF juice/mixers I can enjoy my drinks without making myself sick.

wrp96 Posted October 29, 2008 #23 Share Posted October 29, 2008 So is there caffeine free diet coke on board?? Some people have seen cans of caffeine free diet coke available on their cruises. I have not. The only caffeine free diet I've seen is cans of Diet Sprite. So if you want caffeine free diet coke I recommend bringing your own.

(And I have no clue know what intertubes means.....:D) I was purposefully misinterpreting the last line in your post, just to try and be funny. Sorry to hear that they kicked holes in your cooler, that sux! Especially when you had plans for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
