Shellbelle28 Posted September 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Here is a comment about the Bliss from an entire thread about the elimination of straws on the NCL board. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=56986222 "We were just on the Bliss and they still had straws for milkshakes at Coco's. But we survived the remainder of the cruise straw free. Even with frozen cocktails." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted September 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2018 True and some of the ships are not giving them out even if you ask for them (my guess is that they are out of the plastic straws). Rumor (from two ships) is that they have ordered paper straws, but they have not been delivered yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincicruisers Posted September 10, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Still a lot of speculations about the straws. I went ahead and ordered some paper straws. My hubby says I am nuts but I can't imagine having a mudslide without a straw.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted September 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Why wouldn't you ask this on the NCL board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted September 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Maybe because it's also true on HAL? Other lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txflood33 Posted September 11, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm not a fan of paper straws....just ordered a pack of stainless steel straws and silicone straws...4 stainless (with removable silicone tips so it doesn't get too cold) and 4 larger silicone straws for smoothies and frozen drinks. Comes with a brush to clean the insides and a carrying case. Less than $10 on Amazon. Toss them in my backpack and I'm good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted September 11, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Seriously, do ships that no longer have plastic straws have paper straws? :confused: Seriously, are straws THAT important. Sure, I can see that some frozen drinks might be a bit easier to drink through a straw than by sipping — but can it ever be so much better that it would be worth getting metal straws, cleaning brushes, etc. and spending cruise (or any other) time cleaning them?

OCruisers Posted September 11, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Actually, having a straw is important to me! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Trkrs Posted September 11, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Actually, having a straw is important to me! :D Me also! I've got sensitive teeth, sipping a frozen drink/soda/even water cold is painful oftentimes, without a straw it's pure torture.

K32682 Posted September 11, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Plastic straws are the latest environmental panic. Many places are banning them. I don't use straws so it doesn't concern me. If it were that important I'd bring my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
