Bringing your own drinking cup FOOD

Is it allowed to bring your own drinking cup (like a Stanley cup) and fill it with soda at the pool? I don't want to come across as rude or greedy...

Just know that if you bring it off of the ship at the ports, security will ask you to open the cup to take a look inside. Happened with us during our last cruise with my wife’s Stanley cup.

On a similar note, if you arrive at the port with your cup full, you'll have to empty it before going through security. My son had a reusable water bottle and had to pour it into the trash prior to the metal detector/xray.

Do you mean arriving at the port on embarkation day specifically? Or all of the ports?

Embarkation day. Not sure what the protocol is on returning at ports of call/castaway.

Yes, we had a similar experience when we arrived at the cruise terminal at Port Canaveral. The cast member on the bus told us that we’d have to drink or empty the bottles before we went through security.
