RUM RUNNERS, sneak some on. If you like say my favorite, Captain Morgan Parrot Bay 100 proof coconut Rum.:D I bring on a large rum runner, and a small one to carry in my beachbag. Then you could order a coke and mix your own pool side. DH likes Burbon and 7, so I bring his too, LOL only order a 7up. Anyways, you get my drift ;) Have a great Cruise. And I totally get u. Just have fun, avoid all the bs you can. :)

Oh My! LoL I could only hear my DH if I got caught trying that I would NEVER hear the end of it, but I like your style.

I am VERY hesitant to make a comment on here because unlike this POSTER I am NOT judging the original poster at all!! BUT that being said.....

 

 

 

How much you drink at home or on a vacation is of NO concern of mine or anyone else. I am much more upset that you feel you have to hide it from your husband , although I do not live in your home so I have no right to even say that much.

 

 

 

That being said I think the only way around this is that you have separate accounts set up (as if you were cruising with a friend) then neither one of you will have a clue what is spent! Of course that may or may not start a whole other argument about why you have to have separate accounts LOL!!

 

 

 

Either way I hope you have a GREAT cruise. Like you I think these boards should be used to assist other cruise enthusiast with questions they may have or to share great experiences and suggestions not to pass judgment on our fellow cruisers!

 

 

 

BTW I enjoy cocktails on vacation and my husband does not drink a drop on vacation or at home but we both respect each other's choices. I know this can be a very sore subject between couples , especially if one of them does drink or gamble or shop ......anything in excess! But that is between that couple NO ONE else and LEAST of all anyone on these boards!!!

 

 

 

Live and let Cruise LOL!!!

Thank you for your well thought out comment I DO NOT think your comment was at all "judging" and appreciate your perspective. I wish also that I didn't have this issue to deal with, but unfortunately it can turn into an issue with DH and I would rather just not put myself in a position for an argument to begin. I personally don't think that I drink too much on a cruise, (not once have I gotten to the point of needing assistance to get back to room, become sick and thrown up, or even made a fool of myself or my DH), it's more of a this is what I do so you should too situation with him. We don't "fight" about it and it's not a "problem" it's seems to be more of a "what he doesn't know won't hurt him" situation. Why cause an issue if it can be avoided.

I totally get it! I have a DH (of 40 yrs) and even 2 glasses of wine and I will hear about it for days.... Never mind a cruise and I have many more than that over several days :(

 

You get plain tired of hearing about it!

So you planning ahead to avoid stress is a great idea....

 

I hope the separate S & S accounts works for you. You would think you could buy Drink Coupons???

Exactly just don't want to hear about it for the duration of our vacation.

I was told however they have done away with the drink coupons. 😞

If you really want to hide your drinking from your husband you could have two totally separate on board accounts going to two separate credit cards.

Thanks. Not trying to "hide" drinking as I will be drinking in front of him, but I just don't want to have an argument over the number of drinks he sees on the statement. He drinks on a cruise too, just maybe one or two drinks per day. I just want to enjoy myself and not have to worry about him scrutinizing my bar bill.

Unfortunately all bar purchases will show up on your S&S account and both folio numbers will be listed. The only way I can think of to have drinks without it appearing as individual purchases is to purchase (which will show up) a wine package. The initial purchase will show up, but you will be given coupons to redeem each time you want a bottle.

Thanks Okgirl! That might help.

You are correct of course, put whatever spin you want on this to make yourself feel better.....

You still have yet to provide any useful information to the original question.

Denial, denial, denial......

Snarky comments like yours are the reason I dislike most message boards. When you make judge mental comments to make yourself feel better it's just sad.

Thank you for the other actual on topic comments. I appreciate the response.

Before my question I would like to point out that I AM legal drinking age and am not asking for your opinion into my morals or character. That being said my question is this...

Can you use cruise cash or any other program where how many drinks you buy comes on a separate statement from your sign and sail account. My husband thinks that I "partake" too much and I really don't want to be arguing with him about this and neither of us enjoy our cruise. He is very OCD and I am sure that he will be examining the account daily and would rather he not be keeping a tally on me. :D
