juhacorno410 Posted May 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Just wondering from those that have recently traveled on Quantum of the Seas if the plastic straws are back, or are they still the paper ones? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted May 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Can't speak for Quantum, but they have been the paper ones on Harmony. I presume that RCL has a fleetwide supplier of the paper straws and that the plastic ones will soon be gone for good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted May 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I believe most ships are now using biodegradable straws that are much better than the paper straws they were using. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70SS350 Posted May 31, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2022 In know your asking about Quantum but On Oasis now and they are using the biodegradable plastic straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 31, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2022 On the Quantum now. We have been getting biodegradable straws. Feels like plastic. The ship, in general, is having supply chain problems. Bartenders say they “hope” to get provisions,, but don’t always get them. Drinks that require coconut syrup have had all kinds of wired substitutions. Many bars don’t have Diet Coke on their soda guns, so are using cans (which is fine). Some freestyle machines are more dark lights than illuminated ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 31, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I just wish they had straws easily available at the drink stations in the WJ....instead of having to use the bar. I don't care what their made of I just want them available !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted June 1, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Symphony, Explorer, and Allure all had the Strawfish "biodegradable plastic" straws in April and May, but Explorer's first cruise out of Miami still had lots of paper straws because previously it cruised out of San Juan and was subject to fines if not using paper straws. By the second cruise on Explorer, though, all the bars had the Strawfish version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried drinking a frozen drink with a paper straw? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP1959 Posted June 16, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Paper straws suck! They ruin the taste of the drinks. I’ll be packing my folding stainless steel straw in case they still have paper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
