Tetra Posted September 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Sorry for the total newbie-ness..... If I go into a lounge onboard and order a drink, do they assume you'll be taking it with you, and put it in a plastic cup, or do you have to ask? Since I'm going solo, I don't think I'll be sitting in the lounges for long periods of time, but I might like to grab a nightcap and take it back to my cabin, or up on deck. Is there anywhere on the ship that they wouldn't allow you to wander around with a drink? The silly things you think of when you have a month to kill before your cruise....

Puffinater Posted September 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You will have no problem with taking a drink out of any lounge. It will usually be made in a regular drink glass. FYI..the drink of the day in the souvenir glass will cost you a little more. You can ask for it in a regular glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthomaso Posted September 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You may take your drink anywhere after you've been served at the bar/lounge. They serve all drinks in glassware. I think there are rules about having a glass container at the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanCrush Posted September 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You are welcome to take your drink with you. It will be served in glass though. If you take it back to the cabin your steward will take care of the open glass for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted September 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ordering a glass of wine and taking back to cabin is a handy way of obtaining wine glass for use with left over bottles from MDR. But be sure to put in drawer or in cabinet so attendant will not remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingawaysoon Posted September 27, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The only place I know that you can't take the drink is on the dance floor. At least the dance floor on the Freedom. I've seen many people start dancing w/their drink in hand and they get called out for it. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are rules about having a glass container at the pool. Even at the pool they serve drinks in real glass. Sodas and water are served in plastic .

RhondaC Posted September 27, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Agree. I have seen them served there dispite the signs that say no glass allowed. Glass is allowed in the lounger area of the pool deck. It's just not allowed when sitting on the edge of the pool (or, obviously, in the pool). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted September 27, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 27, 2011 If you want an empty wine glass all you have to do is ask. No need to order a glass of wine to get one. Didn't work last cruise. Never saw attendant after first very brief intro and she never answered phone - also apparently did not read English. Parents in cabin next door had same person and couldn't even get more toilet paper and called Housekeeping too but ended up taking our spare roll which although was not needed was also never replaced. So we figured we had to be self reliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
