rotomu Posted February 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2019 We have already signed up for unlimited soda and more package. Is the tumbler you receive insulated? Does anyone know the size of it? Just trying to do some final packing for next weekend's Caribbean Princess cruise and did not know if we should bring additional insulated ones. Thanks and I appreciate all the tips I have gotten for our group from here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got one on my January voyage on the Regal. It is insulated and holds about the equivalent of a standard 12 oz soda can with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10 or 12 of them unopened in my cupboard. 😳 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted February 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I love these, but they told me last summer on the Royal that they’ve discontinued them. 😥 It’s encouraging to hear they’re still being given out on the Regal, though because that’s our next ship!! 🤞 To answer your question, they look like they’d hold 16 oz to me, but a can of soda does fill it, so it must be 12 oz. It’s double walled, but I wouldn’t call it insulated by any means. It is just like any regular plastic/acrylic tumbler, except super cute!!

Thats why I thought they were not giving them out anymore. Oh well. I have so many I don't need anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc alabama Posted February 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2019 We did not get them on the Emerald last July. We are on the Regal next month. I will let you know when we get back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrottdizes Posted February 9, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Though we always have gotten the Soda and More package; we haven't received the plastic tumbler in the last couple of years. Since we didn't use them when they were given out, we didn't miss them when they didn't give them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotomu Posted February 9, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Ok, some say the do, some say they don't-that makes it tough!!!!! Guess we'll pack a couple......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc alabama Posted February 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I don't really think that you need the tumbler. Princess still uses decent sized plastic glassware that is good enough on it's own so you don't have to bring your own. ETA: On Disney, we each bring a Yeti because we don't like using their "shot-glass" size cups. But, I will say, even though DCL is pricey, I do like that sodas are included...

tutuwahineLV Posted February 9, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 9, 2019 slightly off topic, but do they have these tumblers available for purch in the gift shop as well?? We never do the beverage package, but I do like to have a larger cup than what is offered in the buffet. And to be able to have my tea wherever I park my backside to relax and read. TIA for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spideysmum Posted February 10, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Quick question about insulated tumblers. I was talked into a cruise to Alaska (again..but that’s another story). We have the bev package...our daughter gave us a set of insulated tumblers - may we use them for decent coffee at the international cafe? There was this terrible morning on that last Alaskan venture when I was handed take away coffees in glasses. Awkward..esp on the lifts, to say the least. I am so hoping. I know I can’t get Diet Cokes in cans..just fountain style with the bev package this time. I also assume my insulateds will work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseclan Posted February 10, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 10, 2019 We just got off the Crown last week. We purchased the soda and more package and received the tumbler. I just checked and it holds 16 oz with no ice. It is double walled as well. The top does not have a straw but has a slide you use to open up the top. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since they haven't given me a tumbler in the last couple of years, I won't be expecting one on any of my upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting, the new cup looks very nice but it doesn't look like I will be able to put hot or cold drinks in unlike the old tumblers. I'll plan to pack a thermos one for coffee from the IC.

My DH would love for me to stop collecting them, but they’re one of my favorite cruise souvenirs because they bring me joy at home every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA for your input They sell tumblers but not the really nautical ones that came/come with the UKP (USM). The ones sold say Princess Cruises on them and have the logo. They were in sparkly gold and sparkly pink last summer, but it appeared they may have been phasing those out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted February 16, 2019 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hmmmmm, the new ones definitely aren’t as appealing to me, since they don’t appear to have cruise themed pics on them, and they don’t come with a straw. I’ll take it and use it for sure, but I miss the old ones. Since these say Coca Cola on them, and they’re shaped similarly to the Royal Caribbean ones, I wonder if Princess is gonna add the Freestyle machines.

shellgirl61 Posted February 17, 2019 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2019 In certain areas on Alaskan cruises, such as Glacier Bay and the fjords, they are not allowed to put beverages in disposable cups. In these areas they are only allowed to give you glass cups or glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, note that they state on the tumbler " COLD DRINKS ONLY". Also, it does not state BPA-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
