Rare BlerkOne Posted April 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Doesn't Freedom cruise from Texas? That should be your first clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted April 15, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Some of you are hilarious. They typically have it at 700 or 730. This is the first time I have seen them not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted April 15, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted April 15, 2018 They give such a small quantity to taste might not be missing much. True, but it's fun to watch the new cruisers chug those shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted April 15, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Doesn't Freedom cruise from Texas? That should be your first clue. Please do tell what that clue is. Are you saying they don't serve alcohol in Texas? Are you saying they don't give it away in Texas? Are you saying the fun shops won't be open this evening because Texas is so far from international waters? Please clue me in.

sanmarcosman Posted April 15, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2018 They ran out of thimbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted April 15, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Might be what waters you in if not international? Nope, it's not that. They have had it every cruise the last few years, and I go a lot. They don't have it this time. I wonder if it's happened elsewhere, if they typically have it. They usually have a lot of samples, and then someone to take your order for purchase, with a first night discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonCruiser Posted April 15, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) We can all speculate, but I would just ask someone at the duty free shop. Edited April 15, 2018 by DaytonCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyStar Posted April 15, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Doesn't Freedom cruise from Texas? That should be your first clue. We were on RCCL in January out of Galveston and we got the liquor testing. Can't remember what night on the 5 night. But we had some coffee liquore that was strong. We're pretty light weight drinkers so that may have been why. One taste gave us a little buzz. #cheapthrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying they don't give it away in Texas? Are you saying the fun shops won't be open this evening because Texas is so far from international waters? Please clue me in. You do realize, don’t you, that the distance from Galveston to “international waters” is exactly the same as ANY other port?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes but not really...It takes many hours to get to the 12 mile marker from certain ports like Baltimore / New Orleans.

Very true, however the topic is a Galveston embarkation. I’ve never embarked from Baltimore, I learned something today.

Rare BlerkOne Posted April 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Remember it's not a cutback but an enhancement or change. ;) Remember the shops are not owned by Carnival, but are outsourced. I believe they did have a change in ownership not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
