Review summary

Cruise line nickel and dimes you to death for the small things such as a coke with dinner and they confiscated any soft drinks you purchase on shore when you return to the ship (even our bottle of water). Confiscating our purchases as we returned to our ship left a bad taste in our mouths...we will probably not cruise again with this company.

Charging for soft drinks and limiting or banning drinks you can carry on is common to most cruise lines. They usually offer tea, lemonade, coffee and water for free with meals.

Royal Caribbean allows you to bring in 12 cans per stateroom. Check out Royal Caribbean.
