Carnival backs down
Frank F. Matthews
down from their policy banning boarding with non-alcoholic drinks. They
now say that they will permit 'reasonable' amounts. It will be
interesting to see what this amounts to.

Just a couple of minutes ago I read Fridays edition of Cruise News Daily
and it reports the same thing. What a "small" quantity is, is up to the
embarkation personnel.

Other than iced-tea (ugh) there is nothing for me to drink.
No lemonade, no punch no nothing sugar free

It doesn't say "NO" non-alcoholic drinks, it just says a small quantity.
I don't know what kind of drinks you normally bring, but why not bring
some crystal-lite and mix it as you want it.

coffee or caffeine or alcohol) I think of the non-drinking of
carbonated beverages as an advantage - I don't have to buy a soda
card. So much cheaper
So I drink water (not bottled - tap). Or decaf. hot tea. or
occasionally cocoa, but that probably isn't much of an option for you.
And a breakfast there is juice and milk.
Maybe bring a container and fill it with juice at breakfast.

Yes...mostly Coke products...for $2.50 ea....so you see why 'private stock'
is popular with some pax.

Sue,
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. They haven't said
anything about restrictions on bringing drink mixes, have they? Now,
the drink mix makers are packaging the mixes in little packets, pre-
measured for 1/2 liter bottles. Very convenient.
And there's always my favorite beverage - water - for those that want
a non-alcoholic, non-sugar, non-caffeine drink option. Or, make your
own lemonade - I'm sure that any bartender will be happy to give you
some lemon wedges. Squeeze into some water, add the sugar substitute
of your choice. Fresh squeezed is yummier than the over sweet mixes
anyway.

Some people's beverage of choice, is caffeine-free Coke or Diet Coke.
Cruise lines do not offer any caffeine-free colas.

Just out of curiosity for those here that have very specific likes and
dislikes as far as beverages go...when you go to a restaurant where
they don't serve a beverage that you like, do you bring your own or do
you settle for something else to drink with your meal?

You're right. I know...a restaurant meal is only one meal. I guess I'm
not relating to these very rigid beverage preferences that so many
here have described. I just order what's available on the menu and
make due with that...even if the only thing that'll work is water. I'm
not a soft drink consumer, do don't fully grasp the intensity of the
allegiance to one brand or another, or the effects of going a week
without.

Amen. This is ridiculous! I wonder what some of these rigid folks
do when traveling abroad. Maybe they don't.

Does this apply to the other Lines owned by Carnival such as Princess?

They do have caffeine free tea (and also coffee of course) and some
soft drinks do not have caffeine or at least not much.

But surely you drink something different at breakfast than the other
meals??

Hi Hank,
Carnival operates their lines separately and leaves these types of
regulations to the individual brands.

Obviously lacking in culinary taste and moral character.

plenty. Why don't you either talk about cruising or go play somewhere where
they appreciate your self-touted "ascerbic (sic) wit." Otherwise, you're
nothing more than a troll and a not very funny or kind one at that.

I've seen quite a number (spent a good part of my life
near the Port of Miami) and even cruised a few from
Miami, Tampa, Canaveral, Vancouver & Venice (Italy).
However, I don't think cruising is the greatest thing since
sliced-bread (been to Grand Cayman too many times).
However, in the interest of full disclosure, I also own
stock in CocaCola (seriously). Now, if you'd consider
removing that chip from your shoulder. =R=

Hey, whatever floats your boat (or cruseship), live and let live.
In my Living Will, I direct a DNR, except for an IV of Coke.
