Travel/Bubba mugs?

[girlpookie]

Will the bartender at pool fill these with drinks at the pool? I like them to keep my drinks cold and make them spill proof.:cool:

No. However, you can probably pour them over to another container of your choosing. Never seen this done by any passengers in my past cruises with Celebrity so I don't know if there are reasons why this would be frowned upon or even prohibited.

I hope not. It's pretty unsanitary for them to be using guests' mugs, same reason you are not supposed to fill your own water bottles directly from any water machines. My suggestion would be to pour your drink into your mug.

not unsanitary my mouth wont be on the inside, the tops where you drink from come off. It would save on waste to reuse my cup, if it was dangerous starbucks and Tim's would not refill them with coffee and tea. I will just transfer, no margarita's spilled in pool or hot tub !

Your mouth may not have been on the mug, but your germs are IN the mug.

 

Who knows what you were handling before you handed the bartender your mug. Who know where that mug was sitting just before you picked it up (i.e. - tables where folks put their eating utensils, glasses, and other personal items.)

 

Then the bartender has to handle your mug, and then handle everyone else's drinks.

 

It is very easy to transfer your drink into whatever vessel you wish.

 

There is no need for unnecessary risks to ANY passengers - no matter how silly someone may think it is.

If that is your thoughts you never get coffee out at coffee shops or have wait staff on the ship top up your water or coffee at the table after they refill others? They refill mugs all over the world at coffee shops and at resorts. How can being at a cruise ship be any different? pouring liquid in a cup from a bottle or jug inches above it with no touching does not contaminate no plages will start. The glasses they give you at the bars are touched by multiple hands transported all over the ship before you get to drink out of them. I asked a simple question and i got a polite answer back, no need of you or anyone else to snip.

If the bartender has any common sense, no.

What is a 'bubba mug'??

[happyscmom]

Why must everything be a debate and/or lecture. Isn't "NO" a good enough answer without acting like it is a gross question.

 

And....lots of cruise lines have some refillable cups. RC and Carnival have refillable soda cups.

Insulated travel mugs brand to keep slushy drinks cold and not melt with a top that has a sealable spout so it is spill proof. good for taking drinks in pools and the ocean.

On a longer, warm weather cruise I often take our Tervis glasses. Keeps cold - cold and hot - hot. I would never dream of asking the bar tender to use that glass - what I do is take the bar glass and pour my drink into my own glass. I'll pour my coffee or water in too but never use the cup in a dispenser - that is unsanitary.

I've still got a "souvenir cup" from royal caribbean.

Nothing like that on celebrity though. i have brought it with me on a celebrity cruise to keep a coke cold by the pool. I just asked for a can of soda and poured it in myself.

 

as for the question of what is sanitary on a cruise ship vs. starbucks - due to the closed environment and risk of noro viruse etc., the cruise ship would probably err on the side of caution and practice a higher degree of sanitary practices than are necessary ashore.

Just my thoughts.

[girlpookie]

That was my plan i just asked to see if they would do it to save on used glasses. People jumped all over it ! Good thing i didn't ask about topless sunbathing.:eek:

Unless I'm mistaken, most of those bubba-type insulated mugs are very large. I expect that it would take several drinks to fill it up, and if you have a beverage package, you are only allowed to order one drink at a time.

 

Unless you're up for paying for enough drinks to fill the mug, I doubt there is enough volume in most of the regular drinks to make the mug worthwhile, unless you are a very slow drinker.

I'm ok with that, in most cases:D:cool:

[girlpookie]

nope not the big kind, normal size average about 500ml a large tim's coffee size. not the volume i was after just the cooler effect to keep it cold and not to spill when walking around.

[DirtyDawg]

We took Bubba Mugs to Cuba last week (the small ones). Man they sure kept those Cuba Libre's cold!:D

 

I'll be taking them on our next cruise too.;)

Not snipping. Just pointing out some issues that you may not have been aware of, since you ONLY mentioned that your mouth was on the top of the cup.

 

My response was polite.

 

It could have been very different.

To clarify I'm the one wearing the red swimming trunks.

Interesting, I've never heard the term bubba mug. Is that a southern thing? Is it a brand name?
