Cruiser23490578 Posted January 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anyone know what brand of cranberry juice they serve on board? I'll only drink Ocean Spray and want to make sure it's available. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Posted January 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I am pretty sure that it is made from concentrate, and probably not Ocean Spray. It may even be from the bar "gun". I do drink mixed drinks with cranberry, and although I didn't specifically check, having worked a bar with concentrates before (and there is a taste difference), that is my "educated" guess. I have taken small cans of juice with me with no problems during my last two cruises; small six pack cans of pineapple and small mango (to mix with our champagne). Enjoy your cruise.

Cruiser23490578 Posted January 12, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I wonder if I'd be breaking the rules if I carried on a bottle of cranberry juice? I DO NOT want to start my vacation by being called down to security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will only be made to walk the plank if the juice has fermented. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to use my name but I doubt I have much pull with Carnival. I think a better strategy if questioned would be to say the Cranberry juice is for your weak bladder. You could even show them the rubber underware, that would convince me. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini_guy Posted January 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Is there any free juices that go good with rum on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted January 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Is there any free juices that go good with rum on the ship? During breakfast service in the Lido buffet OJ, Guava/Passion and Grapefruit juice are available from the dispenser. When breakfast ends the machines are changed to Fruit Punch, Lemonade, Iced Tea and Apple juice. Juice is available through room service also.

BamaCruiser20 Posted January 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Is there any free juices that go good with rum on the ship? There is a Mango/Guava/Passionfruit (or something like that) which is EXCELLENT with Rum....especially Mango rum. It is only available at the drink stations in the Lido restaurant during the breakfast hours....so, get you a BIG glass of it. They used to have a fruit punch on the drink stations after breakfast, but they no longer have it....some stuff about getting a less sugar version. But, me thinks they are trying to do away with Smuggler's Punch :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaJae Posted January 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I got several types of juice last year at the bars with my soda card and thought they were all excellent EXCEPT cranberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser23490578 Posted January 13, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think I'll call and preorder a bottle of liquor for our cruise and ask them if I can also preorder some Ocean Spray. If they tell me no I'll ask for permission to carry it on the ship and I'll let you all know what their response is. Thanks very much for all of your help, much appreciated.

You are allowed to bring on non alcoholic drinks, so you wont have any problems. My friend does it all the time. http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/Liquor_and_Beverage_Consumption_Policy.aspx Guests may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages. All prohibited alcohol, additional quantities of wine/champagne or excessive quantities of non-alcoholic beverages will be confiscated and discarded without compensation. Large cooler restrictions: Carnival Cruise Lines does not allow guests to bring large coolers on board its ships. However for purposes of housing small, personal-sized coolers no larger than 12” x 12” x 12” for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage. Screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process. Therefore, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage.

SouthernCaribbean thanks so much. I had no idea (obviously) that I could carry this on legally. If you were on the ship, I'd buy you a drink. Since you're not, I'll drink your drink for you. Thanks!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1148 Posted January 13, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You can bring on juice. I do it for V8 juice. They only serve generic tomato juice...not the same for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruzers Posted January 13, 2009 #15 Share Posted January 13, 2009 With the soda card, get either pineapple or grapefruit juice mixed with Sprite Zero...goes great with rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemurCat Posted January 13, 2009 #18 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Is there any free juices that go good with rum on the ship? The passion-guava goes well. I would also recommend picking up a couple of boxes of single-serve fruit punch or Hawaiian Punch mix packets. Wal-Mart brand in particular mixes well if you use 2/3 water and 1/3 rum. Also, vodka and lemonade is delightful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, vodka and lemonade is delightful as well. The passion guava is , by far, my favorite juice to mix with rum. Like others said, it is only available in the morning. Yesterday my wife brought home some single drink mixes that taste almost exactly like the guava, and it is SUGAR FREE. The first sip I took I expected it to be lousy because they were 12 for a dollar, but after the first sip I said...cruise line guava !!!!!! She got them at Christmas Tree Shops and they are coming on the next cruise. We squish an empty gallon water jug and bring it on board. Then we inflate it and make a gallon of drink mixer. This will be my new favorite, sugar free, mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yst347 Posted January 13, 2009 #24 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You can order Apple, Orange, Grape Fruit and Tomato through room service. I don't recall Pineapple being available in the Lido buffets so I'm guessing you will need to bring your own or buy it on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
