Bottled Water

[Prewittsgal]

Can anyone confirm does Royal Anthem of the Seas allow you to bring a case of bottled water.  I could have

sworn i had seen a few people doing this in the check in line.  Does anyone know offhand their policy?

[Clarea]

Policy for non-alcoholic beverages is 12 factory sealed containers, each no larger than 500ml. Must be carried on, not checked.  This is a per stateroom (not per person) limit.

thank you for such a quick reply!

You're welcome.

 

Note that you are also allowed to bring two bottles of wine per stateroom, each no larger than 750ml.

We used to put a tag on it and it would be at our cabin. Can you just bring it to your cabin and then leave it by the door?

You cannot get to the stateroom area until all the staterooms are open around 1pm or so.

Host Clarea, is this for all the ships?

'Yes, you cannot get to the staterooms until they all open around 1pm.

[BirdTravels]

And yes, you need to hand carry your 12 bottles of water,,,, which get reeeaaalllly heavy after lugging in around the terminal, up the gangway, and all over the ship until your room opens.

Back in August of 2018 on the Harmony of the Seas, I checked a 12 bottle case of water and soda in a separate bag. No problems whatsoever, and it waiting for me near my cabin at 1:30 pm.

I think it was about November 2018... I could be wrong on the date.
Before The change in the policy, you weren't actually allowed to bring water or soda or any non-alcoholic drinks. But several people did just slap a luggage tag on a case and it would arrive at the room.

Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages as carry-on items on boarding day. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Milk and distilled water brought on for infant, medical, or dietary use are permitted. 

Guests who purchase alcohol bottles onboard, in a port-of-call, or bring more than the two permitted bottles on boarding day, will have their items safely stored by the ship. These bottles will be returned on the last day onboard for enjoyment once home.

BTW, I found out (thank to this forum) that you get bottled water with the beverage package. You may not need to bring your own unless it's for medical (e.g., distilled) reasons.

Royal Caribbean provides distilled water for free,beverage package or not.  Just let special_needs know before the cruise.  Otherwise, once boarding let your stateroom attendent know and they will provide it (along with an extension cord if needed)

 If you have the refreshment package can you get water bottles?

I apologize to gerif.  (although "the blog" is never my go-to source for reliable information.)  I just checked elsewhere.

 

But now, Ken, you need to tell me why the date November 1 is stuck in my brain - what was THAT the start date for?
