Can You Bring Full Size Bottles On A Cruise?

On some cruise lines, such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean, passengers can bring small quantities of drinks on board, but Norwegian does not allow this. Liquids over 3.4 oz or 100 ml must be packed in checked baggage, and guests are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, and large bottles in checked luggage.

Onboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships, guests are permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property, including luggage. Beverages are restricted, but liquids are generally allowed for grooming purposes. This includes full-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, gel, sunscreen, and more. Nonalcoholic beverages may also be allowed, but this policy will depend on the cruise line.

Guests are prohibited from bringing water, sodas, and other non-alcoholic beverages packaged in glass or plastic bottles. On embarkation day, guests can usually take limited liquids in hand luggage on a cruise, but it is best to check your cruise line’s specific policies.

On Disney Cruise Line, there is no restriction on the size of toiletry items, but guests are allowed to bring a quart-size, zip-lock bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes through the checkpoint in carryon luggage. Large-sized bottles can be placed in checked luggage, and guests of drinking age are allowed to bring one 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne for each individual sailing. Additional bottles are allowed for consecutive sailings.

In summary, liquids are generally allowed on cruises for grooming purposes, but restrictions may apply to certain items. It is important to check your cruise line’s specific policies and bring your own full-sized shampoo, body wash, and other toiletries in your carry-on bag.

Can I take a full water bottle through security?

The 3.4 Ounces (100 mL) Rule: TSA’s Liquid Restrictions. You’ve probably heard of the 3.4 ounces (100 mL) rule, a global standard for liquids, aerosols, and gels in carry-on bags. When it comes to bottled water, this rule means you can’t bring a full water bottle through TSA security checkpoints. This may seem like an inconvenience, but it’s a rule put in place to ensure air travel safety. So, if you’re planning on bringing a water bottle on a plane, it must be empty when you pass through security.

Metal vs. Plastic: Water Bottle Materials Matter. When selecting a water bottle for your journey, you have the option between stainless steel water bottles and plastic bottles. TSA does not differentiate between metal water bottles and plastic ones; both must adhere to the 3.4 oz rule. However, stainless steel water bottles are often more durable and better for the environment, so they may be worth considering.

Checked Bag vs. Carry-On: Where to Pack Your Water Bottle. While you cannot bring a full water bottle in your carry-on bag through security, you can pack it in your checked bag. However, given that water fountains are typically available post-security, many travelers prefer to bring an empty water bottle in their carry-on bag for easy refilling.

Can you bring bottles of alcohol on a cruise?

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board with the following exception – at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day only, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring one 750-ml bottle of sealed/unopened wine or champagne, per person, in their carry-on luggage.* Outside this exception, …

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Online Check-in, it is still the responsibility of the guest to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Guests should check with their travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation.

Except where it is a mandatory requirement, Carnival highly recommends that all guests travel with a passport book. The passport book must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. This will enhance the debarkation experience as delays may be expected upon return to the United States for those without one. Additionally, this will enable guests to fly from the United States to meet their ship at a foreign port should they miss their scheduled port of embarkation and allow guests who must disembark the ship before their cruise ends, due to an emergency, to fly back to the United States without significant delays and complications.

For cruises that begin and end in the same U.S port, the following WHTI-compliant documents are acceptable for cruise travel. Please note that if the cruise visits Colombia or Greenland, a passport book(valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel) is required. A passport card with the same validity is also acceptable for cruises to Colombia.
