krissyj89 Posted September 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I would like to bring a bottle of wine on board (following Carnival policy), but I dunno where I would get the cups. Any kind of cups would be fine, but actual wine glasses would be wonderful. Will the room already have plastic cups like some hotels do? Or could we go to the buffet areas and just take a couple? Would room service bring up just the cups? Thanks from a newbie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted September 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2011 On every cruise I've taken (see below) there were wine glasses and regular glasse in the room alongside the ice bucket. If they are not in your room, I'm sure your steward would be glad to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Iv never had wine glasses in the cabin. just go to a bar and ask for them. .. thats what I would do rather than waiting on the cabin steward to find some and bring them to me and then feeling like I had to tip him. Im the type to do stuff myself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted September 20, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Just ask your room steward and he/she should deliver them to your room in short order. That is part of what your gratuity covers, things like that. We have always had glasses (wine or drinking) brought to our room with no problem.

B and C Blake Posted September 20, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2011 On our CCL cruise a few weeks ago I just asked my steward for wine glasses. He also brought me a forgotten cork screw. After our champagne gift was delivered he also brought us flukes without being asked.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh2zed Posted September 20, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If not already in the cabin, ask your room steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted September 20, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Room stewards can take a while. I just go to the nearest bar & get them myself. If I think it will be a particularly long walk back to my cabin & bottle, I may have at least one of the wine glasses filled to sustain me on my on long trek. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted September 20, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2011 You can ask for and get wine glasses at any bar on the ship. If the bar is on an outside deck, they will be plastic, inside bar, glass. I don't know if your steward will replace them with clean glasses so I just rinse/wash them and put them on shelve in closet. You can get ice if you run out at any bar or in the buffet. In your cabin you will have two small glass glasses in your bathroom and two glasses with your ice bucket. Sometimes these are like wine glasses and sometimes they're just bigger bathroom glasses. If you take your bottle to the dining room you will be charged a corkage fee for opening it so I just carry my glass of wine with me going to the dinning room. Make sure you take the bottle in your carry on. Passenger told me her bottle was taken out of her checked suitcase - along with her iron, wine in her carry on was no problem. This was on Carnival.

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 20, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If you just happen to be in a cabin where there aren't any wine glasses -- just ask your cabin steward for them. Also -- if you need to ice your wine -- again the cabin steward can bring you a wine bucket with ice in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you expect to have wine in your cabin then ask the steward the first day to please leave some glasses and replace them as used. No problem. Also, your steward will be happy to ice down bottles on request if needed. If you know in advance you'll want this then ask him in the morning to have it ready at a certain time.

sail7seas Posted September 20, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 20, 2011 We have always found wine glasses in our cabin. If you do not, the advice given above is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted September 20, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't mind drinking wine out of glass tumblers. Occasionally we've had cabin stewards who noticed and have brought us wine glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
