pntnnc Posted September 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2016 What can you take for them to put ice in when your room does not have a fridge? Want to keep waters and ginger ale cold. Thanks for any ideas. Do not want to take a hard plastic cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsSweetie Posted September 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We always take a small collapsible cooler (large enough for about 8 sodas) in our luggage, and ask the steward on the first day to please keep it full. They normally fill both the cooler and the ice bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boltnut55 Posted September 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We never saw the ice bucket on my trip 2 weeks ago, but we also didn't bother asking. Either bring a collapsible cooler or my guess is that you can tell them to bring ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any ideas. Do not want to take a hard plastic cooler. Buy the Chill Out Water Package from the Fun Shops. It comes with a soft collapsable cooler. I got one on my last cruise and the room steward kept it full of ice. It is a great cooler and I still use it at home. Doesn't leak and keeps stuff nice a cold.

BeachLoverstoo Posted September 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks...its hard to find something that does not leak. Take a gallon (or larger) size zip lock bag and put the ice in that, then in the cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzlover7 Posted September 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have used a beer bucket to keep ice in. Simply to chill my wine. My Stuart always kept it full. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louanne93 Posted September 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We keep a good size soft sided cooler filled with ice in the shower (if it leaks). Just remove it when we shower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzbcruiser Posted September 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We carry on a small soft sided cooler with a plastic insert. We fill it with juice and horizon milk boxes for our toddler. Once on board, we put the juice and milk in the fridge and we ask our cabin steward to keep the cooler filled with ice. It's the perfect set up for us!

crusinpsychRN Posted September 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have a collapsable cooler, it was a Platinum gift. It didn't leak for several cruises then it did so I put it in the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted September 25, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I don't even remember seeing an ice bucket on my last cruise. Maybe you have to ask now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishka422 Posted September 25, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You have to ask the cabin steward for an ice bucket and ice. I usually meet my cabin attendant soon after boarding and tip them extra in advance while asking them to make sure to fill the ice bucket twice per day. Never had a problem.

Doggielover68 Posted September 25, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2016 On our first cruise we brought a soft sided cooler, but i try to pack light now. Instead, I bring insulated tumblers and get ice and water from lido deck. I usually bring a soda to dinner and the MDR staff is more than willing to bring me a cup of ice for my drink.

mcchane1 Posted September 25, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The first day I left a note and $10 bill for our cabin attendant asking for ice. She brought us an ice bucket and kept it full and clean glasses twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any ideas. Do not want to take a hard plastic cooler. I assume since you are going on the Ecstasy you will be driving to port. When we drive to port we always take one of the coolers that has a plastic insert so it doesn't leak.Like this one http://www.target.com/p/12-can-mini-rec-cooler-blue-embark/-/A-12113141?lnk=rec|pdpipadh2|viewed_bought|pdpipadh2|12113141|2 I asked the Steward to keep it filled with ice.

sandij Posted September 25, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just ask your room steward to bring one and they will and they will refill it once or twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepenfun Posted September 26, 2016 #21 Share Posted September 26, 2016 So looking at your up-coming cruise on Ecstasy, I take it Ecstasy doesnt have fridges in rooms or certain rooms? I just thought all carnival ships had fridges in all rooms. Also if you stop at like a Walgreens, CVS pharmacy, 7-Eleven or some store on your way to the port and pick up a 30 qt. styrofoam cooler for around $10. leak tight, keeps ice for a long time, holds a lot, when your done with cruise just crush it, throw it away so your not carrying it back home with you on the plane or car.
