vwalk Posted November 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My family doesn't care for Coke products and would like to take Pepsi on the ship. RCCL customer service says no, but can't show me where it's written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASOXFANN Posted November 17, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Certainly, although some on here will look down their noses at you and/or blame you for most of the world's problems if you do. :rolleyes: Just ignore them, or do what I do and laugh at their silliness :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigal3967 Posted November 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2008 We have always just duct taped a couple of 12 packs together and put a luggage tag on it. Also take a case of bottles water and do the same thing. I have never had a provlem. big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted November 17, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The generally accepted restriction is "reasonable" amount. If you are talking about multiple cases of soda and multiple cases of water, I would not be surprised if they refused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddea20 Posted November 17, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Can you carry water or soda in your carryon or does it have to be with your checked luggage that you drop off at the pier? And can you bring your own beer on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwalk Posted November 17, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks everyone. This forum is awesome. I spoke to a RCCL employee AND her supervisor who insisted the only soda that I could take onboard was the one I was carrying in my hand. I'm going with the opinion of the experienced people on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about multiple cases of soda and multiple cases of water, I would not be surprised if they refused. I think if folks keep pushing the limits of reasonable, eventually RCL is going to put rules on this too. Carnival started enforcing the size of coolers now which limits how much soda and water you can carry on in a cooler. Im waiting for RCL to follow suit. As long as RCL lets them carry on any amount out in the open, folks will push the limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about the steamers either.... looks like lacrosse players are still safe though..... ;) We took an extra suitcase on board.... had 2 boxes of caffeine free diet coke and 2 of Evian inside. No problems at all especially as we were driving to the port. Asked for the fridge to be emptied and we were happy bunnies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwnmt2 Posted November 18, 2008 #13 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We have always gone down a day early and bought soda and water for us to take on the ship. We have put it in either our carry on bags or in our checked. They have never told us we could not carry on water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisePRN Posted November 18, 2008 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Until there is some guideline from RCl what is reasonable? As long as it's for personal consumption I would bring as much as I need which would vary depending on the length of the cruise. At some point you need to ask yourself is it worth it to just buy the soda sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
