scaredykat Posted May 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I've read on one of the posting about a blender that CC members take with them on their cruise but I can't seem to find the post. Can someone please tell me where I can purchase one at and how much it cost? 29 days and counting:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neveslaw Posted May 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2005 As an alternative to the blender, you might try a martini shaker. It makes great rocky margaritas, pina coladas, etc., and doesn't take up much space. Plus, its a lot easier to clean in that little sink and think of that great exercise you get. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted May 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2005 You can do a google on "travel blenders", most of them are hand cranks... we used to have a portable "travel" type blender for camping, but it never worked great, and was more time consuming in my opinion... good luck!

ricer Posted May 6, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I've read on one of the posting about a blender that CC members take with them on their cruise but I can't seem to find the post. Can someone please tell me where I can purchase one at and how much it cost? 29 days and counting:p I think you may be referring to an old ongoing joke. A long, long time ago, there was a post from someone who was an EXTREME penny-pincher. The jokes started flying after that. All throughout these threads you can find posts about people bringing blenders so they don't have to pay for drinks (jokingly though), and to take it one step further, crockpots so they can cook in their rooms to save on food expenses! I don't know if I explained that entirely correctly, but I'm sure some of the more seasoned cruise veterans can attest to the accurate history of the blender.

GoinCruisin Posted May 6, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Actually, there are people that REALLY do take blenders on a cruise... there have been several real threads about it... complete with pics and suggestions... Always seems like too much trouble to me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricer Posted May 6, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 6, 2005 OK but I'm not going crazy (crazier) here, right? There have been ongoing jokes about this forever (haven't there?).:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, nobody brings fishing poles along... Wish I had found a way to get a picture of the crew fishing from the Empress deck of the Holiday - no joke... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
