Bringing Beverages Onboard...

[cruzin23]

In their brochure, Carnival says you can bring a "small quantity" of non-alcoholic beverages onboard with you. Does anybody have an idea of how much this would mean? From your experiences, how much soda/juice/water have you been able to bring onboard?

 

Thanks!

We brought a 12 pack of Diet Dr. Peppers and a 12 pack of Bottled water with no problems. There were 2 of us.

Our last cruise this past August on the Elation----We brought 12 pack of root beer, 12 pack of bottled water, and 2 bottles of wine. There were 2 adults & 4 kids on the cruise.

Last May, we sailed on the Pride. We brought 2 cases of diet coke and a case of bottled water for two of us, plus a good amount of alcohol. Most of the soda and water were packed in a roll-on ice chest and checked with our other luggage. The alcohol was safely packed in between clothes in our checked suitcases. We had no problems with getting all of this on board.

Kajsb....

you mean cases as in 24 packs?

 

Thanks everybody for your replies..this helps me a lot!

Yep, 24 packs! We tend to drink a lot of soda. This sure saved a lot of $$ on our sail and sign card. Here is a picture of the ice chest that we checked as luggage. http://community.webshots.com/photo/150098631/150886200yzMvrV

We loaded it without ice. When it arrived at our cabin, we asked the cabin steward for ice. He iced it done twice daily.

Did you lock your Ice Chest when you checked it as luggage? Would anyone suggest locking your ice chest? Can you lock your luggage while boarding?

Thanks to the Patriot Act.

We closed our ice chest with duct tape which would have allowed them easy access. They never opened it. I would not lock anything because that would send up a red flag.
