Coastalbreezes Posted April 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Plastic, huh?! I am disappointed as I love the old glass bowls and was hoping to get a few more for my collection. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartsnvt Posted April 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Those are not even in the same class as the original ones. And plastic, ugh! Not worth paying extra anymore because they are just cheap. I wish NCL would go back to real glasses that customers were willing to pay to collect them. Lost revenue, NCL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartsnvt Posted April 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What does the bowl say? Norwegians drink from the bowl. Pretty crappy saying. I'd never buy one that's for sure. It all just looks so CHEAP! A saying carnival would have and I would hate to have NCL stoop that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted April 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What kind of drink is in it? It's called the Rebellious Fish...fruity but not overly sweet. It's my favorite drink of the day. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camz Posted April 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2013 OP - Thanks for the update and picture as this has been a very hot topic here on CC. I have Bermuda Sea Glass in my glass fish bowl. Even though the new bowls do not seem as nice as the original glass bowls, I would probably get one anyway. Maybe they need to be seen in person to get the real charm of the new version. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdnCruiseFan Posted April 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Norwegians drink from the bowl. Pretty crappy saying. I'd never buy one that's for sure. It all just looks so CHEAP! A saying carnival would have and I would hate to have NCL stoop that low. My partner is Norwegian... when I tell him the saying the first thing comes to his mind is toilet. Not sure who thought of this but I thought the same. I wanted a glass with the little fish on them but oh well... I might get one just for laughs.

deladypilot Posted April 19, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for posting the photos. My cruise is in 6 weeks and I was hoping to get one but now I think I will pass. Not worth the extra money for a piece of plastic that is not even cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDONCHICK Posted April 19, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I don't think that the saying itself is Carnival-esque, more the way it's put on there. If it had been like the old glass ones and had the school of fish swimming together one way and one lone fish gong the opposite direction and with the same size and typeface as used before just like the sayings "so this is what they meant by sea legs" and it would be okay, maybe even cute. But to used this typeface like they did, does make it look like more of a tacky thing that I would never want to collect. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestof9 Posted April 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I like it! It's in the font they use for everything "Norwegians like it white hot" or all the other slogans. I was talking to a bartender on Epic who said they're trying to move away from glass by the pool decks. So maybe that's why the move to plastic. I have a ton of the colored plastic ones and I'll get a few of these too! I love the glass ones and only have 2 and wanted a few more, but I'll get some plastic ones. I like to use them on my deck in the summer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medtech2 Posted April 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Those are not even in the same class as the original ones. And plastic, ugh! Not worth paying extra anymore because they are just cheap. I wish NCL would go back to real glasses that customers were willing to pay to collect them. Lost revenue, NCL! Totally agree. I need another plastic cup like I need a hole in the head. I still miss the old glass hurricane glasses. I don't want plastic anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrogpilot73 Posted April 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2013 My wife and I really liked the glass bowls with the fish when we went on our first cruise (the Sky to the Bahamas). We mentioned it to "our" bartender (we always watched the sunset from the atrium bar), and apparently we were good tippers, because the night before we disembarked - he gave us a case of 12 to take home with us... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise4kicks Posted April 19, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just got back from the Gem yesterday, they had the new plastic fishbowls. It says, "Norwegians drink from the bowl." I don't like the font near as much as the old ones, and they don't have the little fishies on them anymore. :( But I got one anyway. :p They are good for storing all the little stuff that collects on top of the dresser and desk. Oh, and as for the drink -- the Rebellious Fish -- yes, it is fruity, but they got chincy on the actual fruit in the drink, it was more like a berry-filled sangria before.

WaldosPepper Posted April 19, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ugh! Those look awful compared to the previous glass version. I'm very glad I was able to get two of the glass ones in March before this replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted April 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Someone posted a picture a few weeks ago. I don't think anyone likes the fact that these are plastic now. Rebellious Fish is the normal drink served but you can get any drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted April 19, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 19, 2013 That is a bit disappointing, I was hoping to get another glass bowl to add to my collection. Guess I won't worry about it now. Funny when I ordered the rebellious fish a few years ago, mine never had any fruit it it then. I didn't care for the drink, I did it more to order the glass.

johnql Posted April 19, 2013 #21 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Very disappointing that they replaced the glass with plastic. Plus, I do not like the new block lettering or the use of the lettering on a large, white background, all of which simply serves to ruin the transparency of the glass.

Bars7816 Posted April 19, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Lost $$$ opportunity. But what can we expect when they took the ship off the NCL credit card.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmativeDame Posted April 19, 2013 #23 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was really looking forward to finding one of those old glasses. I will say, from a personal perspective I think I hate the new design more then I hate the move to plastic. At least it was cute before, and I have to agree - the only reference I can think of for the slogan is a toliet? Why on earth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneology Posted April 20, 2013 #24 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I would not get it in plastic. Maybe they should sell them in glass in the gift shop. I know I would get them. But not sure I like the new design.:rolleyes: OK i would buy the old ones in glass in the gift shop!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaBet Posted April 23, 2013 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, Where were these drinks? We sailed the past two years and never heard of them. They were never listed on the dailies or maybe I just missed them. I will definitely have to get one - even if it is plastic. I have so many of the brightly covered tall glasses that I definitely don't want another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
