Does Oceania offer take away cups for coffee/tea with lids?

[JoePDX]

Baristas no longer has lids for their to go cups.

 

I bring a travel coffee container that has a lid.   Like this one:   https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123716/single

 

I get lots of compliments on my ingenuity.   🙂

We had a Bermuda cruise planned that got canceled when things were shut down. Having a local N.Y. boarding it could be east enough to get a sleeve of cups and lids from my local go to deli to bring along which actually is rather an annoyance. Would it be correct that we would find no more single use jams/jellies and condiment choices?  Shampoos and lotions will be discontinued? What else might be different? And if not...why?

I don't believe you need a sleeve of cups and lids - if you want to be able to walk around with a cup of coffee than people suggest bringing along a A cup with a lid.  The lid was the only thing no longer provided. There were plenty of single serve jams on the tables in the morning, condiments are never single serve packets on O .  Shampoos and lotions were plentiful in the bathrooms.  I am confused on what your comment meant to imply....

We just got  a mug from the Terrace self serve   area   & took a cup to the cabin

Most of the time we got  a cup/saucer in Barristas & sat  there to drink our coffee

Hate coffee in paper cups  YUCK

YMMV

Single use jams and jellies are readily available as are small bottles of shampoos and the like. Condiments are offered in large shared bottles. Oceania and Regent have jumped aboard the "no plastic train", so plastic cup covers and water bottles have been eliminated. Thats it in the politically correct " greenie" department for now.

Thank you Edgee.  That is sort of what I was afraid of. We'll bring our deli cups/ lids and ignore the obvious hypocrisy if we go.

The reusable take-away cups and lids on Seabourn were very nice. So nice that many were "going home" in guests' luggage and they were thinking about doing away with them and going back to paper. Hopefully they'll still be in use on our next Seabourn voyages.

They did do away with them....It was not the theft that was the issue but they ran out frequently because people took them of course to their cabins and they would not get washed until evening.

Barristas ran out of the paper sleeves mid-cruise on the Marina Nov 2023 TA, and ran out of paper cups the last couple days. Bring your own if suitable take-away containers are important to you so you are covered no matter what.

Are there no bottled water anymore? We used to take some with us on excursions.

None. Period. They have a water "system" and provide fresh water in large glass containers in your cabin. They provide a heavy reusable container to carry water with you.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose we will find out how that works for our next cruise in April. It sounds like we will have to bring our own coffee / water mugs.
