bring your own

How do you bring soda on the ship? With your carry-on or packed with your tagged luggage.

I put in in my tagged luggage, but you can put it in your carry-on if you want to. Carnival lets you bring a reasonable amouint of soda onboard with you.

You can do either. I bring along Crystal Light packets and mix them with water. The Fruit Punch is great with rum.

I put it checked luggage, only because I hate carrying it on... too heavy.

I buy a 36 of water at Wal-Mart practically on my way to the port...

what's a "reasonable" amount of soda or water?

Should always be carry on so it doesnt burst in your luggage and spill all over your nice clothing. We take a 6 pack of soda and water in our carry on.

I put it in a fold up ice chest.

The vinyl kind.

And put it with the checked luggage.

 

And use screw tops, not cans.

On the NCL Spirit, I put luggage tags directly on my 12 pack of diet coke and 12 pack of water and it was delivered to my room along with my luggage. Has anyone done this on Carnival? I am going on the Triumph next year and I'd hate to take up all that space in my luggage.

It's not defined. Kind of like: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

We packed our drink duffle bag last night for our upcoming cruise. We are just doing a short 4 night and we are taking 2 8 packs of the 12 oz bottles of diet dew, and a 8 pack of the 12 oz bottles of coke zero. We also packed an 8 pack of pineapple juice cans. All of this went into the duffle bag with the bubble wrapped bottles of wine. Everything legal, everything in either plastic bottles or large ziploc bags. Luggage tagged it and will hand it to the porter.

Now just don't ask what we put in DH shoes in the garment bag. :eek:;)

I've done the same on Carnival. However. I've heard some posts saying the porters at the dock refused to load those.

 

This might be depending on which port, which time of year you go (spring break). And dependent on if you tip the porter, have a nice 'handle' made out of tape with luggage tag so it's bundled correctly as 'luggage'.

 

I'd keep checking the boards and see if this policy/choice is spreading.

 

If anything the water might not be needed..ships water is normally fine..just carry some empty bottles to refill.
