csbenedict Posted August 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Can anyone recently on the Eclipse confirm that they have done away with the awful paper straws? I heard a rumor that they have switched to a biodegradable model. If not, I either have to pack my own or learn to drink faster. 😄 Edited August 18, 2022 by csbenedict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted August 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2022 While we haven’t been on Eclipse, we were on Reflection in May and Millennium a couple of weeks ago and both had the biodegradable straws. They looked like plastic, but aren’t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted August 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We were on the Eclipse in April and my recollection is that the paper straws were onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermonter16 Posted August 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2022 On Apex this last January.... terrible paper straws. Bring a metal one with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligator Posted August 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Assuming the entire fleet gets the same supplies, the answer is likely "No." We're just off Apex and if the wrapper hadn't said it was a biodegradable straw, I'd swear it was a plastic straw. Unless they're in a transition period between suppliers, expect the good straws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straws are such a tiny part of plastic use that it makes zero sense to ban them before banning plastic bottles. Straws make up 1/250th of one percent of plastic found in the ocean. It is negligible beyond belief. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jldevlin Posted August 18, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2022 On Eclipse a few weeks ago and they had great straws.... biodegradable that felt like plastic...I hate the paper ones and we brought our own reusable ones and they stayed in the cabin. Going to Hawaii on Eclipse with 2 other couples in September and I bought them all reusable too lol ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockymtn2 Posted August 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just off the Equinox on Sunday and we had the biodegradable ones that are great. Feel pretty close to plastic and don't disintegrate at all like the paper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs2k Posted August 25, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Be careful though if you have allergies or Celiac disease. The biodegradable ones are not gluten free. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
