Wish I could hook you up with a photo but I doubt DH will be in shorts again until we arrive in Port Canaveral at the end of December

And, what were you saying... Something about no coolers?!? I've made note!!

This thread is just going to devolve into nothing but a troll on troll fight. Stand by everyone, grab some popcorn and a soda and prepare for an entertaining event.

And posts like this are not really not helpful. Give members some credit. They can behave themselves.

We use a small, collapsible rolling luggage cart to haul our canned soft drinks onboard. We will take the cans off the cart to send them and the collapsed cart through the scanner. Since there is no cooler involved, i don't see how enforcing the cooler issue will impact our cans. We sail Saturday, so if it becomes an issue we'll let you know.

Are your cans in some sort of bag? My BIL had a collapsible cart like you mention and the port staff insisted he cover the cans and gave him a black trash bag to put the cans in. Any beverages are to be in a some sort covering/bag, at least this was our experience and what we have been told at the port.

Thanks for the heads up. We haven't had any problem before, but I'll have a trash bag at the ready. We always take a trash bag for dirty laundry anyway.

They gave us and the man behind us each a black trash bag to cover our stuff in PC. DH had a few 6 packs in a box from the liquor store and the other man just had a 12 pack he was carrying. But they put it through the scanner first....They were very nice about it but we will be better prepared next time.

Sad about the leakage and mold, but now we know the reasoning behind the enforcement.



We got our cart on ebay. There's several types/prices available. Or do a Google search. Ours was less than $30.

Can you send me a picture or the link to the one you have? Thanks,, a bunch!!

They are available at Lowe's also, not sure about Home Depot. It is so incredibly handy to have, aside from the DCL application.

"Honey, I'll pay for a DCL cruise if you WEAR SOME SHORTS!" He must have SOME legs!! Ha! I love it that you, as a wife, are so proud of your husband!!

I thought I should add note to what the thread was about, hence the "no coolers, got it" comment... it's just your nice comment about hubby was SO GREAT!! I didn't want to get an "off topic" icon!!

Wonder what they did with all those coolers. After 9/11 and all the silverware/bottle openers were taken off aircraft (for safety reasons), they were donated to charity and sold at many thrift stores. There are a LOT of people out there with "such and such" airline engraved on a wine bottle opener.

Are we allowed to mention brand names here? Not sure of the protocol. As far as I can tell they don't have their own web site but if it's o.k. to mention the brand name you could do a web search.

Where did you get your collapsed cart??TIA!!

SAMs has one I bought mine at staples. About $25

Well this will make things more difficult for those of use who truly need to bring drinks (non-alcoholic) on with them. I bring diet sodas that are made with Splenda as I am allergic to aspartame, the sweetener used in fountain drinks. Since Disney is a Coke user and doesn't make a diet Coke with Splenda any longer I have to bring Diet Rite or Pepsi One. A small six can cooler isn't going to cut it.

The sodas don't have to be kept cold while transporting them to the ship. You can bring as many sodas as you wish, as long as it's in your carry on bag. Your carry on bag can be on rollers and must fit through the scanner. Once onboard, you will have either a cooling box (Magic & Wonder) or a fridge (Dream & Fantasy) to keep your drinks cold.

Don't you know that's what makes it "exotic"?!?!


OP- sorry for your frustration, thanks for sharing so that the rest of us know (even though we "knew" it wasn't necessarily enforced).

sorry that you had that exprince. Before my fantasy cruise about two days before i called DLC and ask them what wasn't allowed and then the day before i checked the websight. It's sad that some one has break rules and the rest of us who follow rules are punished.

Is this for soft sided coolers or the big hard ones. We have a rolling one that looks like a suitcase that we have used before on the ship and I'm just wondering if I can use it again.

i've yet to put any ice in ours. Bought it specifically for DCL cruise because it was collapsible and certainly easy to haul the various random sized beverages (cans of diet mt dew, beer, some bottled water and a bottle of champagne) and on the way back it's empty for any souvineers and serves as airline carryon for the trip home.

Q#1: if wheeled collapisble coolers are now forbidden, are you able to slap a label on a wrapped case/12 pack of beer or water and check them with porters?

Q#2: if they confiscate the cooler, are you able to retrieve it when you return or is it tossed? We always park a rental car, but wondering about those who use 3rd party transportation to pier.

Since there is no cooler involved, i don't see how enforcing the cooler issue will impact our cans. We sail Saturday, so if it becomes an issue we'll let you know.

hoping you weren't effected by the storm. Please come back and let us know how the cart worked for you. I have one of them 'somewhere'.

I never said I needed a rolling cooler to carry insulin on board.

I needed the rolling cooler to carry on the 12 pack of Diet Mt Dew 16 oz bottles

You may laugh, but on Friday I took DW to the airport for a flight to Romania. In her bag was 12 pounds of Diet Dr. Pepper.

I was afraid that if I did not find a way for her to get her DDP she would be very unpleasent to work with.

Have a great day.

A PP said that the cooler was held until they returned and was with their luggage in the terminal when they disnembarked.

Yes!!! That's what I got

I'm with you! Shorts should be allowed at dinner . DH has great legs and looks just as nice in a dressy pair of shorts and a Tommy Bahama button down

I second that. Shorts are good.
