blonde375 Posted May 10, 2010 #26 Share Posted May 10, 2010 We have 2 sets of the "old" ones and use them for desserts or shrimp cocktail. We also have 2 sets of the metal after dinner drink mini cups. Last week on Freedom we saw the new Sloozy glasses and I don't think they were as impressive as the old ones. We also got 2 sets of the new after drink cups. They are glass with the different colored bases. There are 7 cups for 7 nights, each a different color. We don't do a lot of after dinner drinks, but I think these are perfect for Bailey's or the like. I enjoy collecting them and putting them on my hutch. Hi there, do you have a picture of the after dinner drink ones? I have metal loving cups from several years ago.. are these the same thing just called something different now?

katiel53 Posted May 11, 2010 #27 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi there, do you have a picture of the after dinner drink ones? I have metal loving cups from several years ago.. are these the same thing just called something different now? Sorry, I don't have a picture of them. They are nothing like the metal ones. These are clear glass cone shaped at the top with the RCI emblem and the bottom is a colored, faceted upside down cone. They come in pink, light purple, green, amber, red, blue and turquoise. I think the day there is some kind of party or sampling of foods etc. on the Promenade (I think Friday or Saturday at noon for us) they sold the Sloozy glasses and these glasses too. I didn't price them as we got them as after dinner drinks nightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longtimecruiser#2 Posted May 11, 2010 #28 Share Posted May 11, 2010 They've updated the love cups, they're now clear glass with a colored base (one of mine broke in my luggage home). I think the new love cups with the afterdinner shots are a lot more upscale and decorative than the old metal ones. I'm sorry I didn't see them earlier in the week so I ended up with only 2 of them.

emeraldcity Posted May 11, 2010 Author #29 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Wow! I go away for a week or so and one of my old posts turns up. Thanks for the warning on the paint on the glasses. We brought back four of them last month and I'd hate to lose our designs! I've washed the swirl ones in the diswasher numerous times without losing anything, so I guess the new ones are not only different in design; they're different in material as well.

They had them for sale in the Promenade towards the end of the cruise if you don't want to buy them as an after dinner shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had them for sale in the Promenade towards the end of the cruise if you don't want to buy them as an after dinner shot. We got some martini glasses that have a similar base to these, except in cobalt blue. They came with the Cucumber martini specialty drink. We have 4 of them that we brought home after our December cruise on the Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMM Posted July 22, 2010 #35 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Can someone tell me if they have what I call a "low ball" glass. The kind you have a drink on the rocks in? Shorter and wider than a regualar tumbler. My husband collects one when traveling and we usually spend hours looking for these in ports etc. as it is usually a shot glass, tumbler or mug that they sell. We will be on the Explorer thanks for the information posted so far. Those glasses are really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnaandtim Posted July 23, 2010 #36 Share Posted July 23, 2010 This may sound strang but the kids and I like to eat our mashed potatoes out of the martinee glasses. We set up the sour cream, bacon bits, onions, and make our potato martinee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libertylover Posted July 23, 2010 #37 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Earlier this month I brought home tall plastic glasses with the swirly design on them. I also saw that a few bars had the blue design in glass but I already have a few of those. I also got a shot glass. I believe anything that has a design is a souvenir glass. This was on the Liberty.

masonpips Posted July 23, 2010 #38 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I went crazy on Navigator a few years back and started a collection (btw, they will put any drink in these glasses if you ask). A great bartender found me the boxes they came in (this was before they sold them on the Promenade in the boxes) and we hand carried these home in shopping bags as our carry-ons. I've used them for appetizers and salsa and drinks! And they look pretty in my glass-front cabinets too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted July 24, 2010 #39 Share Posted July 24, 2010 i have 12 of the swirl style. Use them for salsa and what others have mentioned. I really like the new glasses. My concern is we could drive to port and never broke any going home. Now we are flying and don't think I want to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighmomm7 Posted September 10, 2010 #40 Share Posted September 10, 2010 :confused: Do they still sell these on Freedom of the Seas? I am desperate to replace the one that went flying last night! My mom (who almost never drinks) got 4 of these as her souvenir of our family trip last year and she uses them ALL the time for desserts! :( I am heartbroken that I broke one and ruined her set (all with red swirls, and I can't find those anywhere, even on Ebay)! :o If anyone knows if these are still available and someone is going on Freedom of the Seas (or maybe they are available on other RCI ships), I would be so grateful if I could arrange someone picking up two for me (in case one gets broken in shipping)! I'm willing to make whatever arrangements you need for your help! I just have to fix my mistake! --Karyn (:cool: Okay to email me at karyn at milehighmommy dot com if you can help! Of course I mean no spaces and replacing the "at" and "dot" with symbols, so you can reach me!) :p Wishing joyous cruising to you all! I love reading your posts! Makes me save more agressively for our next trip together! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
