They are still plastic, but much better for holding the toothbrush & toothpaste then the short water glasses from the Lido or the little glass ones that were supplied in the bathroom. I use them (while they last) for Lido Arnold Palmers, etc. Much better looking than the dumpy standard plastic cups and hold a lot more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have been coming back for a while (May 23 at least) We had those in the bathroom, and two sturdy stemmed glasses on the tray with the water bottles—Venezia April 26, balcony cabin.

Rare BlerkOne Posted May 18 #29 Share Posted May 18 Did they ever get ice buckets on Venezia? I have to think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Bucket on both. Call to room service late in the afternoon- early evening for a bag of ice to freshen the bucket. Also had Carnival Binoculars left in the room from the previous cruiser. Walked by the room supplies and saw a few fans in there, (I bring my own.) This was 6 Aft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy jones Posted Tuesday at 12:49 PM #31 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:49 PM Just off Venezia. There were wine glasses in the room, but none in the bath. DW brought down a cup from the buffet for the bathroom and the next day we had glasses for the remainder of the cruise. We requested an ice bucket from the steward and he filled it every day.

davy jones Posted Tuesday at 01:06 PM #32 Share Posted Tuesday at 01:06 PM One observation. I was a woman on the cruise with an empty 48 ounce bottle from the large waters at the bar and for sale in the cabin. She was trying to fill the bottle with ice from the ice machine. She gave up on that and tried to transfer ice from a cup into the bottle. To quote one of the onboard comics. "You don't have to look for the jokes." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security person threw it right in the garbage. I said it was empty and I wanted to keep it. (It was the right size to fit in my purse). She said ‘ no plastic on Carnival’. Got to my cabin..and what’s waiting for me…my order of water in 12 plastic bottles. There were no signs saying that one cannot bring an empty plastic bottle on the ship. It was my property, not her’s. What a jerk! I’ll put it in my checked bag next time. The security person absolutely misunderstood the rule. Plastic itself isn't the problem. It's that it is much easier to smuggle liquor in plastic bottles vs cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she didn’t throw that one out, she put it in a cooler. She could see that there was no alcohol anywhere. If I wanted..I could empty a water bottle in my room, take it ashore and fill it up with alcohol if I wanted. Her actions were not warranted IMO. There are no signs forbidding plastic bottles in the security area either. Next time I’ll put my water bottles in my checked bag. Just for a laugh..what would they do if wine came in plastic bottles?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are fair that your luggage would be sent to the "naughty room" and you'd have to go there to retrieve it (if they had liquid in them, if they are empty you'd be ok). Again, this isn't something because of plastic but because all beverages (except wine) need to be in cans (AFAIK wine in a plastic bottle would be accepted).

I had wanted to keep the stubby, empty, water bottle because it fit into my purse nicely for going on shore. Lesson learned…put it in the checked bag, empty. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
