Can you carry on soda?

[tourismtessy]

is it possible to carry on a 12 pack of canned soda instead of checking it with the porters? I’m afraid if I check it, it will possibly get busted.

Carnival rules are you have to carry it on, cannot put in luggage you give to the porter

Yes, On Carnival you are suppose to carry it on, not in checked luggage.

Putting soda cans in your luggage is a no-no. All soda must be carried on.

Yeah me and my roommate both carried on a 12 pack of Pepsi on our late cruise on the Pride

Security ripped open our 12 pack and tore the cardboard open so bad we couldn't carry it, had to jam it in a backpack.

they do check for hidden beer but you'd think they'd open from the end flaps.

They did that in Charleston SC before boarding, but had tape to fix the boxes.

Plastic bottles are not allowed for soda or water.

As the others have said, you do need to carry it on yourself. Carnival's website lists specifics as to how much and what form of containers are permissable (currently a maximum of 12, 12oz cans per person):

And in case you did not know, as of 1/1/20 Carnival no longer carries Coke products, they are affiliated with Pepsi.

Yes. But can only be used in your cabin, or for when you go ashore to a beach. Here's a link for items that are either allowed or not allowed: https://www.carnival.com/help

 

Scroll down to the blue heading  "What items am I not allowed to bring?"
