we took our softsided cooler and it was invaluable. No one ever said a word about it. I saw people checking in "luggage" consisting of cases of beer and soft drinks strapped together with duct tape. We took our cooler with us to the beach filled with drinks and sandwiches ordered from room service.
cinbis...I packed our soft cooler in our luggage only because I nothing to put in it yets since we flew. I did see people carry them on as luggage with no problems. We brought ziplock bags to pack the ice in when we took the cooler ashore.
my answer is the same as mmouse37...we packed it in our suitcase, but then carried it in hand off and on the boat at each port of call, packed to the gills!
