hot tubs and drinking

[lampshadehead]

Can you drink alchoholic beverages in the hot tubs? I just read a review where the person said that somebody came by to take an order for beer, they started drinking it, and along came security and told them it wasnt allowed. :confused:

I dont know about CCL but we have had our cocktails while hot tub soaking.....(on other CL's)

I don't think it's the alcohol per se that is the problem. They ask you not to have drinks of any kind in the hot tubs and pools. Now, the beverage servers are happy to take your order and bring you drinks, no matter where you are. :) I've often wondered if there's some kind of wagering going on between the security staff and the bar service staff. # of drinks served in pool/hot tub vs. # of drinks removed from pool/hot tub, or something like that.

No beverages in the hot tub. Although it's not strictly enforced, it really depends on who is working the area. One day everyone had cocktails in the tub. The next day the staff was on it.

I vaguely remember that our gym hottub, when I was a kid, had warnings on it that you shouldn't get in them when drinking. As in, alcohol-thinned blood + hottub was a bad idea. No idea if that's true, but I definitely remember warnings on the side wall of the tub. Hmm.

While it is a safety issue, I doubt that is Carnival's concern. They don't want folks spilling drinks in the tub & I can't say that I blame them.

On the Conquest in Feb 07 Security was on it. "No Drinking in hot tubs allowed"

Imbibing in the hot tubs is one of our favorite "on board excursions", especially after dinner. If you act like a frat party gone bad then you'll surely be asked to remove the drinks. However if you keep a low profile and keep things to a dull roar...... we've always drank in the hot tubs and nobody has really ever asked us to lose the drinks.

Trust me, the drinks themselves are a lot more sanitary than the human soup floating around in the tubs so a spilled drink can't do much harm. But a staggering drunk cracking his head is another story.

On the last few cruises I have not seen it enforced.
