coolers

Just wanted to say no wise comments please. I am seriously thinking about bringing a small cooler to use while on the cruise. I would like something to use while sitting by the pool or just relaxing on a lounge chair and be able to have something to keep my drinks cold. While it is 100 degrees in the shade lol. Yes I know that I can get a cold drink just about everywhere but they kind of get warm quickly. Has anyone ever used a cooler while on the ship? How did it work out for you?

We always bring a collapsible cooler. We keep it in our cabin & steward always has it full of ice for us. We keep our soda cans in it to keep them cold.

We always bring a cooler. We carry on an igloo hard cooler. ($10 in Walmart) It is worth its weight in gold. Keeps our drinks ice cold. It cant measure any more than 12x12x12 inches . I pack it with snacks, nuts, crackers, granola bars. Once on board we ice up our waters, sodas and beers. The room steward will gladly ice it for you. If we are up on deck and my hubby gets a bucket of beer, the bartender will also gladly ice it up. He tips them when they ice it up. We get so many comments from people, "that is such a good idea" We have been doing it for years.

Thanks everyone for all your help

We also bring a small collapsible cooler we keep in the shower and the steward keeps it full of ice for us. On the older ships that do not have cabin fridges - we keep small cans of soda in it.

Seriously, invest in a Yeti tumbler. Drinks stay ice cold for over five hours even in the blazing Caribbean sun. Many of the knock offs do too.

If you decide not to take a cooler, the Yeti, Ozark or Rtic mugs all do a great job. I only have a Yeti, but my daughter has all 3 brands & they all work equally well.

We take or buy a cooler for the cabin and carry Corkcicle or Yeti tumblers around the ship.

We use the ice bucket in the room and bring it up on the pool deck often. Just doesn't help for ports.

A drink coozie is helpful! Or drink faster, before it has a chance to warm up!

we just buy the "keeping it cooler" package from the fun shops pre-cruise. It comes with 4 beer, cups, bottle opener, beer cozies and a collapsable cooler. Its only $35!

Thank you so much. I posted this on another thread about if the coolers were a good quality to purchase with the water or were they a good size and no one answered. I much just rather order it and have it ready there for us.

Thank you everyone for your response and looks like either I will be bringing a cooler or water in the cooler from the website to be in the cabin when we get on the ship.

I also have cups that I could use to keep the drinks cold for hours but is it bad for me to say that I wanted the cooler because Sometimes when I am sitting on a lounge chair relaxing I really don’t feel like getting up to go refill my drink LOL it would be so much easier if I drink alcohol because then I can have someone deliver it to me.
