Soda?

[Ricky P]

Are you permitted to bring soda onto the ship?

 

[Girl of the South]

Yes! There are free soda stations on Deck 10 but maybe not your favorite.

 

[Geomom]

Yes, no limit on soda/water. Any drinks you bring on are supposed to be carried on vs in the checked luggage. Rooms aren't available until around 2:30, so you'll be bringing your carry on with you everywhere until then.

 

[Clarkson U]

Yes ideally cans and not glass bottles and ideally in a full 12 pack not opened - these little things make it easier for security which in turn makes it easier for you.

FYI:
You have to bring the soda in your carry on luggage. Cabins usually aren’t available until 2:00 and you have to carry it with you until then.
You may want to use a roller bag.

I have also seen people strap it
To the outside of a roller bag they carry on the ship. Definitely had to be carried on the ship

LOL. Cruises have always been a time to try NEW things for us. I can't imagine hauling soda around when soda is free on the ship.

Well, they don't have the soda I prefer, so I bring my own.

No, I understand that. But the hassle of lugging soda to the ship would make me a fan of what was available. Cruises are a change to try different things.

The issue is I like cola drinks, but I have to have caffeine free. And diet just doesn't do it for me. Caffeine free original Coke is not available onboard.

Yeah, I'm type 2 Diabetic so any regular soda is supposed to be off limits, as is any sugar free soft drink because the artificial sweeteners mess with your stomach bacteria balance. So I drink a lot of water, sparkling water, iced tea and coffee. I did cheat yesterday when I ate out and had a Mountain Dew......it was heaven.

Putting water/soda in a roller suitcase makes it very easy to bring onboard and carry until room is ready.

To each his own. I cruise to relax and be carefree, not necessarily to try new things. I already know what I want, and it isn't the soda they serve onboard. Rolling my own self-selected soda onboard in a suitcase is easy.

Yes, to all . . .
I securely duct tape, my one (or more) 12-packs of DietDP together, and carry them in their own sturdy bag as I board. I also tape an impossible-to-miss "Name, Cabin#, etc" card on the packs.

When I get on the ship, I take the appropriate aft/forward/mid elevator to the correct deck, and get the attention of one of the hard-working, cabin attendants. In some cases, I am "allowed" to slip under the blue tape, stay out of their way, and drop my soda pack outside my room. In other cases, they take it there personally for me . . . and yes, gratuities are offered.

Then I get lunch with family, plan excursions, tour the ship, etc. The Coke products are free, but DietDP is priceless!
