Review summary

 I only drink diet root beer soda and they took 12 cans in new York . very bad. I also use a cpap and have to use distilled water. had a hard time convincing guy at check in to bring 14 bottles of water on the ship. had to show my machine to prove I needed it for that. good thing I never let my machine out of my sight.

NCL prohibits the carrying on of beverages. This change went into place last year I think.  READ YOUR CONTRACT !  There is a list of prohibited items.  It's also on their website, under the heading, Prohibited Items.   As far as the CPAP, it's ok to use the ships tap water for the week ( 14 days ). The desalination process removes the damaging minerals.  You can purchase a gallon of distilled for about $3 +/- on board if you are really concerned.

So, let me get this straight....you gave the entire cruise a 3* rating because you couldn't bring your precious root beer on board ?    C'mon.........really ?  You couldn't find ANYTHING on that huge ship that made your experience better than 3* ?   We've been on her twice and never had any issues.
