will I be allowed to bring a few 5 hr energy bottles on board or will they be confiiscated

[kateiam]

I am not trying to bend rules, just wondered if they really cared about the tiny 5 hr energies?   My friend doesnt drink coffee and thats her form of caffine.  would few scattered through my luggage be noticed?

 

If not allowed, do they sell them on board?

NCL does not allow beverages of any kind (except for wine with fee) to be brought on board.

It is not allowed, but probably would not be noticed

Wil some go unnoticed..... probably but do you want to spend time in the "naughty room" claiming your luggage because one was spotted.... or enjoying the sail away party? 

 

I do find it funny when someone starts off with "I am not trying to bend the rules"...... not bend, just break. ☺

No I do not want that.

 

Better question

 

do they sell 5 hr energy on board?   Or anything similar besides yucky red bull?

Check Amazon, there are lots of different Energy Drink Powders that compare with 5 Hr.

I agree, just like the packages of NO-cal powders to add to water.  There are many products to bring on board that wouldn't be a problem.

perfect solution,

 

thank you everyone!

Throw a couple in your pocket since there is no metal in them they will not be detected as you go through the metal detector

Obviously you want an answer from someone who ACTUALLY knows the answer.  I have packed 10 pack boxes of 5hr energy in my suitcase on my last five cruises and there was never a problem.  I say yes you can bring them.

No, they do not sell them on the ship.

The question is: Are they considered a Beverage?

 

If I had to guess they are not a beverage and should be allowed, but some screener may think otherwise. The funny thing to me is that those bottles look exactly like my travel size shampoo bottles and I have never been stopped for those.

 Not a beverage - it’s a supplement. You will be fine

If you can find Jet-Alert it is what I bring along. It has 200 mg of caffeine and works great.  They sell at the Dollar General Store.

If you ask the answer will be no but my last 3 Cruises they went unnoticed.  I put in my cosmetics.

[yoolykeme]

lol, you'll be fine.

 

If you really want, you can put alcohol in a mouthwash bottle.  No one is going to open your luggage for energy shots.  They are the same size as most cosmetic bottles.

Last time we cruised from NYC I had 24 bottles of Wal-Mart branded 5 hour energy type drinks in our carry on bags. I told the screener about them and was told they are considered vitamins or another health related item and not a prohibited drink item. Best bet is to be honest with them and not try to sneak it past them.
