They always made my wife's favorite Patron Margarita on the rocks and he would pour it into our thermos, beers he just pored in the thermos. 

Good to know 🤔😁

Maybe just go to the same bartender and tip well?

On our last trip to Grand Canyon, the ship's crew made folk dump out the contents of the cups before leaving the ship. 

Darn, oh well. I still love my Yeti though for the first two bullets of reasons. Plus we do have the Cheers Package, and are going to Mr.Sanchos in Cozumel, and we are staying on the ship in Ocho Rios. I can go one day without alcohol. But definitely thanks for the heads up! That would have been awkward when leaving the ship....

And gotta love spell check 😅

What is the obsession with Yetis? They 3x as much as similar thermoses which work just as well. We bought a 20 oz cold/hot thermos at Walmart for $10 been using it for 

 I actually got a yeti because:

-The only thing I drink is water, and with the water taste around my area combined with the metal of the Walmart Ozark cups, the water tastes weird.It also might just be my taste buds. Not sure. Plus my old ozark had paint chips coming off and getting into the water. And chips came off in the dishwasher, my yeti is completely dishwasher safe.

-Ozark didn't have any size smaller then 24oz in the vacuum sealed bottles with the handle screw on lids. I lose things easily, so I like having a place to attach it to my bag.Also I needed 18oz to be able to fit that particular type of bottle in my car cup holder snug and fit, the 24 oz doesn't fit in my particular cup holders, plus I have a habit of spilling things so, screw top lid is great. That's why I don't have a regular Yeti type tumbler with the see through lid and the wider top.

-My friend and I got Yetis also cause we plan to try to sneak wine off the ship into grand cayman and go to the public beach, so you can't have that see through lid that's on non- vacuum sealed water bottles, so that reason along with those above made Yetis a good fit for us. 

-Ozark is fantastic on keeping things cold, I just needed something that would fit my needs a little bit more.Thats all.I still recommend the Ozark tumblers!

So I am going to bring my Yeti 18oz  tumbler in general. But my question is, since I bought the Cheers Package, can I just hand them my 18 oz Yeti tumbler to fill with juice/soda (obviously probably not alcoholic drinks) or will I just need to grab the plastic cups they will serve it in and dump it in my tumbler? 

Last time my friend and I bought bought the souvineer(sp?) Carnival tumblers and I know we were allowed to have those directly filled, but we both would prefer to use our Yeti Tumblers this time around.

So if I bring my tumbler and have a cheers drink package, will they fill my tumbler with juice or will I have to get a plastic glass filled with juice then dump that in my tumbler?

Also, the insulated water bottles the wine would be in would be non-see-through.

Cool, that's good to know!

cb at sea:

Thanks for the reply! Great to know about bag checking! I do know they sell alcohol there, but I have also read it is expensive though, and I have already spent quite a bit of money on the cruise, so I am just looking at options on how to keep the excursions a little cheaper is all.

Mom says:

That's actually great to know.Yeah I do share your concern on the glass.We came up with the idea of perhaps getting larger sized non-see-through insulated water bottles, putting ice and wine in them on the ship(pink rose) , and just bringing them off the ship to the beach, along with some extra regular plastic water bottles we are buying from carnival to keep hydrated too. Otherwise the other option is using the cheers pack we bought for the trip(half the reason I am trying cut corners elsewhere, we wanted to try it out this time for a 7 day cruise) and  could get Rum/vodka/tequila and pair it with pineapple juice and take it down to our cabin and do the same.....then they can't smell the alcohol with that drink really.Pineapple overpowers those kinds of clear alcohol's smell pretty well.

Thoughts?

Going on a cruise on Carnival Vista in January 2020. Stopping at Grand Cayman and taking public transit to public beach at 7 mile beach. Am I able to take a bottle of wine that I brought with me on board ( each person allowed 1 bottle) off the ship to consume on the beach?
