Personal coolers???

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Can you take personal coolers on the ship? DH was just reading the passporter and it states that unless you need it for medicine it isn't allowed. I thought I remember reading that others have brought coolers onboard filled with soda. so.... yes or no? thanks!

Yes, you can bring a soft sided cooler on board with you......we have done so on every cruise and have never had a problem......Andy

Again, there is much confusion on this. Neither the passporter or the actual docs have good solid answers on this. However, I wrote up a good answer based on info form here, I'll cut and paste it.


Ok, you have a few rules you have to meet to bring it aboard.

First, NO ice! Ice can mess up the scanner and they will make you dump it all out before letting you in. Don't worry, ice is available on Deck 9 at the drink station and your room steward will bring as much as you want, up to three times a day!

Second, NO hardsider coolers(think the 'igloo' cooler), that's what they are really not allowing.

Third, The size of your carry on must fit through the scanner to get into the terminal and on the ship after excursions. Disney uses an airport type scanner. The average size for one to fit is 22 inches long by 14 inches wide by 9 inches thick. It can't be much bigger than that.

When I checked my bags at the curb for the cruise the porter took my soft sided cooler and it met us up in the room so I did not have to carry it on. He said they have no problem taking them as long as they are not filled with ice and no glass bottles.

Thanks! My DH will be VERY happy!

We got a great fold up/rolling cooler at sam's club. We put it along with bottled water in our large suitcase and checked it to get on the ship.

We then used the rolling coller as our luggage to carry breakables off the ship and our last bit of clothing from the night before.

We had the other large piece of luggage, empty for everything else we bought and needed to take home with us.

Made packing on the last night very easy.

Have fun!
