Am I Lobster Girl 2x? Not a Water Snob Am I OK?

[Shore>Mom]

2 elegant nights on Breeze. Is lobster served on both nights?? Please say it is so!

 

Not going to be able to get bottled water before cruise. I am not a water snob...how is the ice water just out of the dispenser. Ewww or OK?

Lobster is only offered on the MDR menu for one elegant night. However, every night it's available for purchase from the steakhouse menu offerings. You won't have to go to the steakhouse for it. $20 up charge.

Water is ok in the dining locations. Not ewww lol

[ljbevers]

Lobster was just the one night but the prime rib was served twice. Water was pretty good.

Enjoying your report.

Thanks for the replies! Lobster the first Elegant Night? Another random question. Read somewhere the cups for the complimentary ice tea, water, lemonade etc are really small. Someone suggested bringing cups for kids to get beverages. OK am I going to be totally weird bringing my red solo cups LOL

Yes, the free rock lobster is on the first elegant night. Personally, I bring a large insulated mug to fill at the Lido buffet

Worst lobster I have ever paid for. YUCK!

 

Actually, the free lobster was better.

My "trick" to drinking MORE water on board is that I bring a little < 2oz bottle of Flavor Enhancer to squirt in my water. My favorite is grape, but there are limitless possibilities. It helps disguise the flavor since it definitely won't taste like your water back home. It's not bad without it, just helps me consume more water. :D

If you do bring your own cups, please note that USPH regulations do not allow their use at the drink stations. There will be signs to use a clean glass every time, so you will need to take a ship's glass, fill it from the dispenser, and then fill your cup from it, so that your cup never touches the dispenser. Even if you use disposable solo cups, be prepared for the staff to stop you from filling them directly, as they have no insurance that you are not reusing that cup.

IMHO the water tastes better than most tap water in most cities. I have no problem drinking the water at all.

 

The cups on the lido deck are small but I believe they are still about 8 oz. If you want to take a cup or thermos to fill then you should fill a clean cup from the dispenser then poor it into your cup, for sanitary purposes.

CCL H2O tastes fine to me.

[ray98]

Lobster the 1st elegant night...water is fine....cups are fine.

I was soooo disappointed! :(

[IPlayWithString]

Why are the cups so freaking tiny is what I wanna know. Because that's ridiculous. I end up having to get 3-4 drinks for each one of us because it's easier than getting up for a danged refill. :rolleyes:

[GalFitness19]

I always bring a Rubbermaid plastic water bottle, regardless of the type of travel - land, sea, air. The water on CCL is fine. Not to gross anyone out, but even the stuff that comes from the tap in the head isn't bad.

That's because its the same water throughout the ship. Just put ice in it or use the melted ice water from the ice bucket, its all made from the same water.

I would definitely bring your own cup or mug, whatever, the plastic cups are gross and you can almost always see old lipstick on them and they have water spots on them.

However, you need to use those plastic cups to fill your own cup. its against public health regulation to fill you own cup, as stated on the signs on the lido deck.

and how do you fill that cup or mug you bring????

While I fully agree with NOT using your personal cup to get refills, keep in mind if you have the Bottomless Bubbles plan the mugs are often refilled by the bartenders. Hubby actually purchased a Carnival tumbler when he got my plan and only a very few times did the bartender put the Diet Coke in a clean glass. Almost always they had me take the top off and then they either used the pump dispenser or poured from a can.

The bartenders, who are trained in USPH procedures, know not to touch the bar gun to the glass, so no cross-contamination problems. Also, pouring from a can, into your cup, they won't touch the can to the glass, and the can is a single serve container, so even if they did touch, the can is tossed out.

go ahead and fill your cup up! the person in front of you did the same thing!!:(

They also leave a soapy film in the drink and make it taste like soap :eek: if you use them, make sure you rinse them out with water first.

 

You won't look weird. I've seen people using cups of all varieties, coffee mugs, tumblers, etc. I plan to bring my own tumblers on our next cruise.

Before each cruise, I make a trip to my local Dollar Tree and purchase a large coffee and cold drink cup and throw them both away at the end of my cruise. Best $2.00 I have ever spent :)
