Liquid Supplements

[Cellagirl]

My husband and I take a liquid supplement that comes in 32 oz bottles or 8 oz

pouches.  Each type will be sealed prior to boarding   We have never ocean cruised with this replenishment nor would we want to.  The issue is being able to bring it on this cruise.  Any guidance  would be helpful.  TY😎

Bring it in 8oz. pouches in your carry-on.  So long as it's sealed by manufacture, you should be ok.  You might be lucky with in in your checked baggage.  But  32 oz bottles would be too big and heavy  and show up in scans.

Best bet would be to contact special needs.

Is there a phone number for SPECIAL NEEDS?  I never heard this prompt on the phone system.

Would this be a legitimate use of a rum runner?

Beacause the cruise line will think we are bringing alcohol onboard 😳😱

Because you are not allowed to bring onboard drinks other than up to 12 sodas/water, not more than 17 ounces each.  And only in your carry on.

 

If you put drinks in your checked baggage, you may have to make a trip the naughty room.

The question will be are these required for a medical condition, or something you just like to drink.

We take a product called ASEA.  It is supplement/replenishment of Redox Signaling Molecules  that we take daily.  It is a liquid in bottles or pouches. We won’t be without it ‼️‼️💙💦💦

It's not a prescription medication. It's a supplement like fish oil. Not sure that makes a difference.

[SRF]

There are exemptions for prescription things.

 

Otherwise, I am pretty sure it will be treated the same as soft drinks.

I would take the pouches. I take a liquid supplement and brought the pouches. I am able to freeze mine and put them in a soft cooler that my husband uses for his insulin.

Why  Do you freeze the supplement?  Is it ASEA?

[1025cruise]

To the OP: If this supplement is medically necessary, contact the special needs department. They will give you a letter to show security that you are allowed to bring it onboard. Otherwise, you are limited to the normal quantities of non-alcoholic beverages allowed. If this supplement is available as a powder, you might want to bring that.

It is more of a nutritional drink, it isn’t ASEA. It also comes in a bottle, which does need to be refrigerated after opening. The pouches are easy for traveling and can be frozen.

Ok. I understand.  ASEA comes in pouches.  We wouldn’t have a day without it!  That is why I am questioning bringing it on the ship.  It’s too expensive to be confiscated ‼️😱😱

It is not a RX   It is something we take daily to replenish cell signaling molecules that are diminished through various factors. We won’t be a day without it.

In that case, you will be limited to the non-alcoholic allowance which is 12 cans/pouches/etc per cabin.

I have never had them ask me about them, I always carry on. I would carry them on the ship with you. I really believe you will not have any problems.

I couldn’t edit my previous comment but wanted to add, the pouches I have they lay flat and are only 2 ounces (single serving). I am not sure how large your pouches are.

The pouches are 8oz each.  So I need to bring 8/9 for the cruise😎

We get it, you won’t be a day without it.  Obviously no one here can help, so call the cruise line already
