Default Celebrity bottled water and soda carry on?

I was curious, and this may have been answered in the past
but I couldn't find it specifically.

Can you bring on a 6-12 pack of bottled water or soda on board?

We have done this on all our past cruises with no issues,
but never sailed Celebrity. No I didn't ask the cruise line,
and I won't, because their statement is always the same. NO.
And, yet I have always done it and been allowed. I will
probably attempt it because they usually don't have soda I
like and charge ridiculous amounts for water

Just curious if anyone has done this recently.

Man, I'm getting excited about this cruise!

On the Celebrity site the list of "what not to pack" includes "personal
alcohol" (with a limited exception) but not personal soda or water.
Consistent with that, I have seen people bringing multiple large bottles of
water onboard and the security people didn't mind.

Thanks Peter, I read that too. Are you saying you've seen
people do this on Celebrity ships?

As I mentioned I have done it in the past on all but one
cruise. I was a noob once.

Before we boarded in Miami we stopped at Walmart


Eww.... yuk

They built one of those in a town a few miles away a few years back... I
wanted to take a shower after leaving... the store was filthy.

Plus I'm opposed to their low wages, lack of benefits, and predatory
policy of putting local stores out of business...

Never been on a ship that offers diet pepsi, always diet coke. I carried
on 2 six packs of diet pepsi on the grand princess. People were asking
me where did you get the diet pepsi because we don't like coke. Would
never carry on a drink that the cruise line offered.

It's not very environmentally friendly, but if you're really concerned
with safety, re-using evian type water bottles isn't a good idea.

Hi, Stu, I guess you appreciate the irony of talking about
environmental friendliness and disposable water bottles in the same
breath?

Travelers who want to stay healthy AND be green should consider
traveling with a personal, refillable stainless steel bottle, unless,
of course, tap water quality is an issue at your destination. If
you're on a cruise, it's not an issue, except when you plan to be off
ship longer than your supply will last in a place where water quality
is suspect--then, you can simply buy disposable water bottles to fill
the gap.

I like my Klean Kanteen (use it almost daily in addition to
traveling), but a friend said the new CamelBak version has features
some might consider improvements. (Not to confuse things--the CamelBak
water bottle is not the same thing Rosalie mentioned, which is
CamelBak's "hands free" hydration system, a wonderful thing for
outdoors pursuits, overkill for most cruisers.)

Actually I do, every bottle we took on board went in the recyling on
ship. We never just threw them in the garbage off ship, we always
made sure we brought them back to be disposed of properly.


That's (good) news to me--I've never seen recycling offered aboard
ship; however, we haven't cruised in more than a year, so I will check
out recycling opportunities when I cruise next week.

Thanks for the heads up.

Diana
