We also bring a soft-sided cooler and pack it in our suitcase. We take it everywhere....unless the restaurant at the beach we are at prohibits it. I remember a few places on Orient told us we were not allowed our cooler. Don't know the situation post-Irma. If we buy too many souvenirs ie Rhum (LOL) on the island we pack them in the cooler and check it as an additional bag on the way home.
