wicruiselover Posted March 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Does carnival provide glasses in the staterooms, or do you need to bring a sport/water bottle of some type to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonemasconi Posted March 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2005 the staterooms (cabins) have some glasses in them or you could buy a carnival cup and mix it in that. Not that I would ever bring anything onboard as it might lower my stock value if CCL doesnt get all the money they can.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted March 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2005 mix it in that. You could use one of these The Totally Portable Gas Powered Blender! from http://www.gasblender.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trlbnd1 Posted March 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I use a small sports bottle with my libations and purchase the soda card. I still buy my fair share of DOD's and Shots. We also partake in the wine tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA41018 Posted March 29, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I usually buy a drink at the sailaway by the pool. They serve them in clear plastic glasses. Then I keep the glass and mix bourbon and coke or lemonade and vodka in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted March 29, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Straight out of the bottle. Is there any other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinD Posted March 29, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Just got back from the Glory. We used insulated Sport Bottles that DH got from REI. Mixed up fruit punch with lemonade and some Pineapple and Coconut Rum.....mmmmmm good! It was fantastic for laying out in the sun. Otherwise, for drinking indoors, you will get some glasses and wine glasses in your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtorres Posted March 29, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I recommend buying the first drink in a souvenier cup and then use that the rest of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted March 29, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I bought one of those "unbreakable" Eddie Bauer plastic sports bottles at Target that had a drinking nozzle on the top. It could hold ALOT of vodka and fruit punch ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidaperryman Posted March 29, 2005 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I always bring an empty pint wine bottle and a brown paper bag. Just fold the bag back and drink out of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted March 29, 2005 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2005 We bring insulated mugs. These work for mixed drinks or for just plain water if you're going to the gym, etc... They are also great for coffee and hot chocolate. Whether one brings a bottle or not, an insulated mug is a cruising essential in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjunea Posted March 29, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Insulated mugs from Wal*Mart that cost $1.00 each, leave them for the steward. june Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi101 Posted March 29, 2005 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm not sure about all the staterooms; but in the suites (I only know about Cat. 12), they have a wet bar. You have any and every type of glass you could need. If you run out of glasses, just ask the cabin steward to restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zydecocruiser Posted March 30, 2005 #19 Share Posted March 30, 2005 There are glasses in the bathroom and glasses by the overpriced bottled water they try to sell you. There are thousands of coffee mugs and juice/tea glasses in the Lido cafeteria. You can buy souvenir mugs and glasses in the gift shops. Sometimes a small water bottle of vodka that can be mixed into whatever your legitimate beverage de jour happens to be. One time I drank champagne out of the bowls they have for ice cream. It was cheap (free for me) champagne and seemed appropriate enough. The cloth napkins are also good for wrapping around the bottle while pouring. Straight out of the bottle is the most efficient method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victrola Posted March 30, 2005 #20 Share Posted March 30, 2005 We took 2 insulated mugs that we had purchased at a Disney Water Park last year. They were large enough to hold about 16 oz of liquid, very colorful, held the cold in real well and no one ever asked what was inside. We did get a lot of " oh now thats a good idea comments". Since we don't care for mixed drinks we found a combination of lemonade and fruit punch worked very well. ( I might add that the mug and the combination was a tip from the CC web boards). Enjoy your cruise!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandiecandie5 Posted March 30, 2005 #21 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Is it possible to get martini glasses in your room either by calling room service or through your room steward? Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi101 Posted March 30, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Is it possible to get martini glasses in your room either by calling room service or through your room steward? Thanks. :) I'm sure you can. I've only been in a Cat. 12, and they've always been in the room when I got there along with other types of glasses.

wicruiselover Posted March 30, 2005 Author #23 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks for all the helpful and some very funny comments. I think we'll definitely bring some insulated mugs with us. One poster mentioned bringing mugs they got at a Disney water park and we actually have those same mugs but I wasn't sure if mugs of this type would be too big or "stick" out too much. It sounds like nobody questions it though. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingbajan Posted March 31, 2005 #24 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm a first time cruiser and I am just wondering how do you get the cups refilled with the "mixers". :) Do you order them from the staff or are there machines that you can dispense the drinks yourself? I aks because I also plan to bring my own bottle on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlydude Posted March 31, 2005 #25 Share Posted March 31, 2005 In the buffet and out by the pool are beverage dispensers that you help yourself from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
