Coralc Posted January 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I don't usually start threads....but I am curious as to why people need their ice buckets filled, and some request that they be filled twice a day? Do you drink sodas with ice in your room...is that why? I only drink iced tea (from the WJ), bottled or tap water or beer...so I don't need ice. We never use the ice bucket, except once for a bottle of champagne. After about day 5 on our last cruise, the room steward just quit refilling it, when he noticed that we weren't using it. He asked if that was okay. I said we would call him if we needed ice for some strange reason. This should be brief....what do you use stateroom ice for? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted January 16, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If you bring drinks back from the bars, I guess you'd have to add ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktbr11crs Posted January 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'll drink water from the room tap, but it's a little too warm for my taste, so I always add ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveky Posted January 16, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That's a good question. When you could buy alcohol on the ship and bring it back to your room, would use ice to mix drinks. But now only use ice if i get a coke from the fridge and use a glass with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobnLoriK Posted January 16, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2011 :cool: We keep bottled water on ice and we also have a small soft cooler that we take with us to the pool with water in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted January 16, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Since the fridges aren't very cold, you can keep milk or sodas on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicpersona Posted January 16, 2011 #18 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The desalination process leaves the tap water warm. For someone who likes to drink water, it is not very good. But cooling it down in a glass of ice fixes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted January 16, 2011 Author #19 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks! :) All the responses (or most :rolleyes:) make sense. We have really never used the ice bucket, or at least for a very long time...so I appreciate your replies. :):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted January 16, 2011 #24 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If there is one thing I definitely dislike about cruise ships, it's that the tap water is not tepid....it is downright WARM :eek: My teeth do not feel clean unless I can rinse in nice, cold water :) I need my ice for this reason......and perhaps a few others......but nothing to do with a "hump" balcony! LOL :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybaybie10 Posted January 16, 2011 #25 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I love to chew ice. I know, I know...it's bad for my teeth and a sign of anemia (really it is- google it), but I just love to do it. And no, I don't do it in public places where it would annoy anyone- just in the comfort of our stateroom where it only annoys my husband! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
