I know there's the standard $10 per day, per person gratuity added to

I just read that RCI and Carnival are banning all soda or bottled water from
being carried on board. Can Princess be far behind?

We will leave for the port in Tampa in just a few hours to board the
Zenith.  On every cruise my husband insists on putting his liquor in his
carryon bag.  Never had a problem in 20+ cruises.  With all the talk
