JYD Hawkeye Posted February 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have never seen, on this forum, if milk is available onboard and if there is a charge for it? If there is a charge, how much for what size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazeleyez3 Posted February 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2013 There is no charge. You can get the little cartons at breakfast in the Windjammer and take them back to your cabin to put in your fridge. I see you are on the Mariner. There will also be milk in the promenade cafe...next to the coffee. You can get a mug or glass to pour it into. I know there is skim and whole, not sure about anything else.

JYD Hawkeye Posted February 21, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They also have cartons of chocolate milk..However if you put milk cartons in your fridge (aka cooler) drink them quickly ;) We are in a balcony cabin. Isn't there a regular fridge in the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted February 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ...You can get the little cartons at breakfast in the Windjammer and take them back to your cabin to put in your fridge. I got sick that way once. Please do not put the milk in your "fridge". Oh my goodness, no... it is little more than a cooler and one is just asking for trouble that way, IMO... Soda, bottled water, yes but milk - no. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They are absolutely right about the "fridge". But if you get a larger (not the metal one, the white plastic kind) ice bucket for your room, and keep it filled with ice, you can keep the milk adequately cold for a while. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Hawkeye Posted February 21, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted February 21, 2013 In case I was vague, Is there an electric fridge in the cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2013 In case I was vague, Is there an electric fridge in the cabin? Yes. It just doesn't get nearly as cold as your refrigerator at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgo Surfer Posted February 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2013 In case I was vague, Is there an electric fridge in the cabin? Yea but they're not all that cold. They keep water and soda, M&Ms and snickers and things like that in there but like others have stated, I would not keep milk in there for a long time (or yogurt). Ice bucket would be better.

Gilgo Surfer Posted February 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They also have cartons of chocolate milk..However if you put milk cartons in your fridge (aka cooler) drink them quickly ;) No chocolate milk on the Vision in November. They didn't have it the whole eleven days. They did have hot milk in the WJ which was good for making hot chocolate. If you use the bigger cups rather then the coffee mugs it comes out really good!:D Like someone mentioned they also have milk out for the coffee so you could just pour yourself a big glass of milk minus the coffee.

goodycruising Posted February 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The fridges are not a compressor type refrigeration, they have cooler plates that do not get down to the same temp. It is a different low voltage technology. When you take a can of drink out it doesn't get condensation on it. You need ice to cool things down more. If the milk carton is UHT (Ultra high temperature?) long life, then when it is not open it will last. If you like milk, check it all out and be careful. You will find some around the ships somewhere.

I'm fairly sure it's just plain old milk (not that Parmalat stuff) and needs to be kept cold if opened or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_cruiser Posted February 21, 2013 #17 Share Posted February 21, 2013 For some reason my sister (66) and I (64 next week) on our last cruise (B2B) started drinking milk at night, in the MTD, with our meals. We asked our table attendant if we could get milk and every night he brought us a nice tall glass of "cold" milk. The minute our glasses were emptied here comes another glass. All you have to do is ask and you will receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine0503 Posted February 21, 2013 #18 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My 2 kids asked for Chocolate Milk on our last cruise on the Freedom in 2011 and every night they received a tall glass of COLD milk with chocolate mixed in! They loved this!!! It gave them a chance to stir it up themselves and there was always enough chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry chocolate milk wasn't available on your Vision ship in November...Luckily we haven't been on a ship yet that didn't have it either in a carton or specially made to order in a glass...Did you specifically ask for it or just assumed ? You know what they say about assuming ;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
