Best cup...tervis? Other?

What do you use for coffee, the soda machines, water etc. I am trying to figure out what is easy to fill and sip from, but also wont leak if we throw it in a bag for an excursion.

Thanks!

I use tervis every day and love them. Can't guarantee they won't leak. It might just release a few drips. Also depends on how full the glass is. For the most part, mine are really good!

I swear by Tervis, but dh got a yeti for xmas and says it keeps everything hot longer. I know Tervis works very well for both hot and cold w/no aftertaste, can’t speak to the yeti for cold...

Disney mugs. Though would leak if thrown in bag.

If just for using on ship or on deck, I love my DCL Tervis. But if you want something to travel with, including something that won't leak while in a bag, I would recommend a Contigo. Not as expensive as yetis, and just as effective at keeping things hot and/or cold

Two-fister here. I would not travel without my (REI) nalgene water bottles. I use for any cold drink. They will not leak. I also use to "brew" iced tea - fill it with hot water from the buffet and throw in some tea bags. You can use a caribiner to clip it to a bag - works especially well when empty. So I use the 1-2 of those bottles to collect and keep things in the frig, and to carry water around. Then I have my Tervis for hot drinks. You can do that when you drive to port and don't fly!

Contigo water bottles and insulated mugs are great. I have both and they do not leak. (They have different styles, so make sure you get the right ones.) The water bottles I use have a built in clip.

I second Contigo. Their stainless steal water bottles have kept ice still in tact after 9 hours in 100 degrees. They are work horses. Never leak and even have sip drinking straws (vs bite and sip straws on some other popular bottle brands) which are awesome.

based on advice from one of the disney discussion boards i bought a tervis for my first Disney cruise. i'm not a fan - it leaks. plus it's plastic. i recently bought a KleanKanteen and am much happier. keeps hot/cold for a good amount of time. Don't buy corkcicle. it leaks too.

In my opinion a tervis is is not your best bet for a cruise, especially if you are sailing in a warmer part of the year. Ice melts much faster with a tervis and I know bc that is what I used to take. I have started to now bring an RTic or yeti style cup and/or also a rtic bottle with a wide mouth so we can easily fill it and throw it in the bag with no fear of leaks.

I use a 32 oz Hydroflask for my ice water. If I wanted a hot beverage to stay hot longer, I would get a smaller version. It does not leak, and the water stays cold.

We use Tervis on the ship.....they may leak a bit from the lid if thrown in a bag.
For excursions I use a Takyea, DH uses a Brita

Anyone use s'well? I watched some YouTube that recommended them. They are really expensive, though.

I think DH has a Contigo. I'm going to investigate it further. There are 7 of us going on the cruise. I can get 3 Contigos for the price of one S'Well

I'll point out that Tervis and sunscreen do not go together well. See their FAQs, here: http://www.tervis.com/use-care.html

Yetis do an amazing job of keeping beverages cold as well.

The thing about the S'well bottles I've seen is that they don't hold as much. I'll stick with my 24oz Contigo. It holds a lot and does not leak. I've had one for years and never had a problem.
