Is it ok to bring our own insullatex cups onboard?

Jumping in to say not only is there NOT signs asking or telling one to use fresh cups on the Dream but each and every resort has for purchase refillable mugs which are to be used at resorts with no cups on the side of said machines.

Resorts have rinsing stations for cups, at least - I haven't seen one at the beverage station on the Magic or Wonder. The resorts are also less of a self-contained environment where one sick person can infect the entire population - unlike the ship where one person can transmit an illness to a significant portion of the population of the cruise with little effort.

If the Dream/Fantasy have push-button dispensers instead of levers, then the risk is probably a lot lower, hence the lack of signage. Personally, I've never really felt a huge need for a larger cup then the 12oz disposable cups they provide (I don't use ice) so we've never really bothered with bringing our own. However, we *have* used the Castaway Club-provided cups for milkshakes in the past - but when we did that, we got the milk in a coffee cup and transferred it when we needed it.
