Policy Change - Royal Caribbean

[zebra]

Guests bringing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages onboard are now required to do so in a carry-on or hand luggage, rather than in a checked bag.
The cruise line announced that guests will be able to bring small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages in a carry-on or hand luggage on board only on boarding day. Checking in non-alcoholic beverages will no longer be permitted.
Specifically, non-alcoholic beverages brought onboard may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Distilled water or specialized beverages such as, milk for medical purposes, dietary or infant use, are permitted.
Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board any cruise ship, with the exception of being able to bring two bottles of wine per stateroom.

Seems like a move to try and reduce the amount of beverages being brought onboard.  After all, the less beverages passengers bring with them ... the more the cruise line gets to sell to them!

Thanks for sharing Jackie.

Exactly, Jason. Personally, I could never understand the desire to schlepp all those beverages on board, anyway. Then, again, I don't drink soda and only drink water from a reusable bottle. To each their own, I guess. ?
