jerin Posted October 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2004 My first cruise sails 2 weeks from today. I won't be having any alcohol. (Nothing against it, but I'm 5 mo pregnant.) I hear that most of the bartenders are skilled at making virgin types of the standard froo-froo drinks. Dan, on the other hand, can't wait to get to the martini bar. (Will they make me virgin froo froo drinks there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb C. Posted October 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Nope, no alcohol for me either. Sure cuts down on account expenses!! Off topic: Jerin--You are cutting the pregnacy 27 -week rule pretty close, aren't you? Do they require you to take a doctor's verification of far along you are? Just wondering. Glad to hear you aren't drinking!:D Enjoy your cruise and your baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerin Posted October 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've got my note all set. From everything I read, it sounded like a good idea to have one. I didn't call, just went ahead and had one written -- it's tucked in my passport. I'll be 23 weeks when we start and 24 when we come home, so I've got a couple to spare. Our original cruise was the Century 1/15/05 -- that would have put me at 35-36 weeks -- not going anywhere then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb C. Posted October 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Way to go, Jerin!I'm betting the baby will enjoy the Celebrity food. And you can eat to your heart's content.:D Have a safe and enjoyable cruise!! Deb C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvangordon Posted October 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2004 You can get plenty of frou-frou non-alcoholic drinks - that's what I do. Sadly the addictive things cost about as much as regular drinks, so my ship account is just as expensive. I don't drink at all, but very infrequently I get a midori sour to be different. I take about 10 sips and that's enough for me. I do it like once or twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJGRANNY Posted October 5, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi, I don't drink alcohol on the cruises either. I might have one, but that's very seldom. All it does is put me to sleep. ;) Even my DH, who likes his beer and wine, drinks very little on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldesonia Posted October 5, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I don't drink either. The fun of cruising is very intoxicating by its self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted October 5, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 5, 2004 My DIL was prego on the last trip. There was a nice Bar Tender on the Navigator who would send a waiter over with her drink (Shirley Temple). It cost the same as a soft drink. At dinner they would bring her a glass of milk as soon as we sat down, then they would pour water for the rest of us. She was 24 weeks preg. She loved the ship because she got some very good sleep.

charlielinda Posted October 5, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'm another one that doesn't drink anything (at any time) but I sure do love my one "silly fruity drink a day" - they always have a special non-alcoholic frozen drink everyday. It's my treat. I've never missed drinking on the ship and I enjoy every minute of it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenF Posted October 5, 2004 #12 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Another non drinker here also. My wife might have a glass of wine or 2 with dinner. I do enjoy watching all the people who feel like they must constantly drink to have a good time gives me stuff to laugh at :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeBeCruisin' Posted October 5, 2004 #17 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I think there's a misconception among many non-drinkers that those who enjoy alcoholic beverages cannot have a good time unless they are drinking or are drunk. People drink for many different reasons. Immature drinkers, drink for the buzz and to feel "grown-up" and "sophisticated". The majority of drinkers, however, imbibe because of the delicious combination of tastes and the way that so many wines and cocktails often enhance the taste of the food at meals. Also, a good liqueur or digestif for many is the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Those who project a "holier-than-thou" attitude in boasting of their not having the "need" to drink to have a good time, might try to be a little more tolerant and realize that the "drinkers" do so for very disparate reasons and motivations. I have been on nine cruises and go on my tenth this Saturday, and have never been intoxicated on a cruise (or at home) and have actually seen very few people on cruises whom I would characterize as "drunk". Drunks can be found anywhere. I have even seen people who were drunk in church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinmamma Posted October 5, 2004 #18 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I never drink alcohol. I do usually get a non alcoholic froo froo drink at the theater. I love Celebrity's kiwi royale. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted October 5, 2004 #19 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I choose not to drink any alcohol. My wife might have perhaps an occasional glass of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin Posted October 5, 2004 #20 Share Posted October 5, 2004 DebC, Congratulations! WOW - the ultimate excuse for gaining weight on a cruise. Enjoy and Indulge in the food. Your child will love you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin Posted October 5, 2004 #21 Share Posted October 5, 2004 To Drink or Not to Drink - that is the question The answer - if I want to drink and you don't so be it. Someone's reasons for not drinking are their business - So don't ask me why I am or am not drinking. (just don't put a Margarita in my line of sight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenium Posted October 5, 2004 #24 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I too rarely drink alcoholic drinks. And if I do, its only a few sips. I partied a lot when I was younger. Then I got used to not drinking during the years of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, and nursing, and noticed that I liked the clear-headed feeling better than I did enjoying the drinks. Also drinking always puts me to sleep. I still love non-alcohol frozen drinks. I always have one or two of Celebrity's non-alcohol frozen drink of the day! My husband always has a couple beers at the bars, and usually some wine with inner in the dining room. To each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
