MustangGT Posted September 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I carry these in my purse or backpack. They are small enough to fit in a pocket. https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Straws-Telescopic-Metal-Travel/dp/B07WG24RCF/ref=sr_1_21?crid=683VGXK4M589&keywords=travel+straws+with+case+collapsible+stainless+steel&qid=1663688869&sprefix=Collapsible+steel+straw%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice silicon tips for those who think that steel straws get too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyinpa Posted September 20, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have a steel straw in my suitcase but it is utterly useless when it remains in my suitcase during the trip. Also I did not even ask for a straw but since it was presented I automatically used it.😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP22 Posted September 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The paper straws they had on our last cruse in April lasted for the whole drink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westsail32 Posted September 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I like this one. It telescopes up to 9.25" and it has a carrying case you can hook to your lanyard when you're not using it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085T8LJLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnocket Posted September 20, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've seen reports that Only 15% of Americans regularly wash their reusable grocery bags. I wonder how many are meticulous about keeping their reusable straws clean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper straws, but worked great! I brought a bunch of plastic straws from Burger King and only wound up bringing them home with me. I found we didn't need them at all and the paper straws provided by Princess worked good enough. I certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of having to carry and wash out a metal straw after each use. It's just to much bother for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted September 21, 2022 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Oddly at work we have these “plastic” drinking cups; but the cups are SOMEHOW compostable..why can’t they make a straw like that cup??? (To feel more “plastic” than paper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachykiehn Posted September 21, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I thought maybe this topic was about the issue that some Princess bars carry short straws for smaller glasses. I have ended up with one of the smaller straws in a tall glass. Totally useless! I do bring my own straws now along with a cleaning brush as they do collect “gunk” after a day of use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straws on the Emerald in August were tall enough for a Bloody Mary, so they 'worked' for me. I think in the past they were shorter. Oddly enough, now the problem 'could' be the opposite...if you want to stir something in a short glass, I think they only have tall ones. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I don't see the correlation whatsoever between a canvas grocery bag that holds packaged groceries and a straw that you put in your mouth and pass food through. And if the straw is a personal one to be used by one person only, it doesn't have to be cleaned to the level of surgical equipment. A quick rinse is going to do just fine, with a couple of extra seconds spent wiping off the silicon tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would know this I wonder. Sounds like a Family Feud survey item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
