Don't get me wrong....I'm not a big drinker! In fact, my drink of choice is either a Strawberry Daquiri or a Baci Ball (Amaretto & orange juice). I'm thinking of taking a small bottle of Tequila Rose with us, which is a delicious strawberry creme liqueur with tequila added to it.....Very nice.
The reason why I am asking:
We are going in a very large group. None of us are what would be considered big drinkers, but we are on vacation and the men like to drink some beer. They're also at the age now where too many beers and they will fall asleep
Since we're spending thousands on this vacation, they're not going to get blasted so they won't be able to enjoy themselves
But while talking with other people who have cruised, not on
DCL, but other cruise lines, the one thing that comes up is the fact that people, all different types of people, tell of how they insist on bringing their own drinks of choice to cut down on spending....I've even heard from many different people how they bring a few cases of their favorite beer!
That is what prompted this question. Me and my husband have spoken of this and we've spoken with our fellow cruisers and we're just not sure what to do.
So I stuck my neck out looking like an alcoholic just to see what would be said. I've never cruised before and neither have our friends, so I was curious.
If I can cut down on the bar tab so I can have more spending money for soveniers, then I'm all for it
As for coolers at the pool on the ship.... we bring a cooler to the beach, we bring a cooler to visit our friends who camp, we bring a cooler to parties, etc. If these people are bringing cases and cases of beer, then where are they going to be cooling off this beer? In a cooler. And just where is all this drinking taking place with these cases and cases of beer? I don't know, that's why I asked the question of bringing it into the clubs.
Like I said before, I've never cruised and there are so many knowledgeable people on these boards and I figured I'd ask.....
As for me and my crew, will we be bringing coolers?
To be continued.........
