New at this. We are sailing on Golden Princes 01-18-03. Any Tips appreciated. Are blue jeans, shorts, t-shirts allowed on board? Whats up with the Soda Card, can both persons use the same card? What can you carry on board, sodas, alchol, bottled water ect..? Thanks in advance.

Just about anything goes for clothes during the day, but bathing suits without a coverup of some sort not allowed in buffet. Dining rooms must be dressed accordingly. As far as soda cards are concerned, they are for 1 person only, and don't include sodas in the dining room. They give you fountain soda, not cans, and I personally, don't think it's a good deal. Unless you are a huge soda drinker, less expensive to buy cans or bottles, where you can take it back to the room if you wish. Enjoy your cruise.

You can take soda and water on board. Alcohol will be confiscated if found. I hear a lot of people wrap the liquor bottles well and put it in their luggage.

I personally recommend bringing water on board but just buying your alcoholic drinks, just part of the expense of being on vacation.

you can use soda card anywhere onboard including dinning room. It is for one person only. But you can bring the soda back to the room and share it. And even you can just order one using your soda card and share it in buffet. They don't care.

We was told that hard liquor would be confiscated but you can bring on bottled wine. That's what we were planning on doing.

If we can't bring wine in we may have to rethink somethings.
