Jewel of the Seas soda and water

[realnice46]

RCCL indicates that you may not bring your own soda or bottled water on board, but it seems like people on the message boards say that you can. What is anybodys recent experience?

 

Thank you.

You can bring reasonable amounts of soda and water onboard with you. They only prohibit bringing alcohol onboard - sometimes the CSRs just get confused.

I really don't understand why they say no water or soda but then don't enforce it. There are people on this board who have literally given their packs of soda or water to the porters and it was brought to their room.

 

Me personally, I had seven cans of Diet Coke in my carry-on back in Feb. Absolutely a non-issue at check-in.

I've never seen anything which says no sodas or water to be brought on board. We handed sodas and water to the porters at Miami earlier this year with no problem whatsoever.

We will be boarding the Jewel later this morning.

 

I have two 12-Packs of Diet Rite Soda taped together with a little handle of tape and a luggage tag on it. I plan to check it in with the rest of our luggage.

 

I will let you know if it makes it to our cabin!

Bringing your own water and soda is allowed but I'd not recommend it. The drinking water is available on the ship. It is made by purifying sea water but I could not tell that until the captain told us on the 7th day in a presentation. The crew drinks the same water. They also sell bottles of mineral water for a reasonable charge. For soda, I bought the $4.6 per day soda card in my son's name. You can buy that card on day 1 or 2. Not after that.

This is for Linda (norbertsniece)

I have been reading your posts and enjoy them very much. I thought that some place I read that you had been in cabin 1104 on the Jewel of the Seas. My wife and I are in that cabin March 2010. If you will please tell me how the noise was above on the windjammer balcony I would greatly appreciate it. We are hoping not bad at all but I wanted to ask someone who I think I was actually in that cabin. Thanks very much.....

We always take a couple of 12 pakcs of soda with us. If we run out we buy more on port and bring it on board. Not a problem.
