ginjer2911 Posted September 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am not an alcohol drinker. I was wondering if you could get the frozen drinks (ie pina colada) without alcohol and if they cost the same as the ones with alcohol? Thanks.

jpg1747 Posted September 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't know about the price, but you can get almost any of the frozen or fancy drinks made without alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted September 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yes you can absolutely get frozen drinks without alcohol, but sorry that I don't know the price. You would think that they would be a little cheaper though. I didn't notice if you are new to Carnival, but you can also get Cappuchino and Espresso for free at any meal in the main DR. Otherwise there is a charge for those items. I have a Cappuchino after dinner every evening....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted September 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2009 DD got a couple Virgin Daquari's and Miami Vice's with dinner. I believe they were $4.95 + tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossman2k Posted September 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just got off the Pride a few weeks ago and my DW and DD were both ordering non-alcoholic versions of the DODs. The bartenders charge $1 less for the virgin drinks. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandk Posted September 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yes, you can get a drink in its 'virgin' state. My daughters got one about every night. They cost $4.89 with gratuity. Now this was back in 2007. So drink up!:):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenh1127 Posted September 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2009 My son orders them in the dining room but the very first time they gave him one with full alcohol! Luckily I tasted it first so we re-ordered his since he was only 8.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammymacb Posted September 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Does Carnival offer a frozen ( non alchoholic ) drink card? I know I bought one for my DD in the past but can't remember if it was Carnival or RCCL.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobster71 Posted September 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Last cruise I ordered one of those monkey drinks in the afternoon by the pool. I ordered the virgin version since I am a light drinker. It was so strong. I was snorring during the show. It was so embarrasing. I fell asleep and landed on a stranger's lap. My husband was laughing his brains out instead of helping me out of this lady's lap. Now I don't trust any virgin version of the "smoothie". :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted September 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The non-alcoholic Miami Vice is the best. We enjoyed quite a few of those on our last cruise! BTW, my wife wanted one of those Carnival smokestack shaped glasses, but we asked the bartender to fill it up with just Diet Coke. She said that it couldn't be done and that it had to be filled with an alcoholic drink. We told her that we would gladly pay for the alcoholic version, but to fill it up with a non-alcoholic drink. She had this puzzled look on her face, so she called another bartender who also wanted to verify what we wanted. We repeated that we wanted a non alcoholic drink in a souvenir glass, and still, no success. We finally gave up and walked away! Later on we found out that we could get these souvenir glasses with a non-alcoholic drink, but apparently the bartenders that we were dealing with hadn't been properly trained. Just FYI in case you run into a similar situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted September 11, 2009 #15 Share Posted September 11, 2009 First Carnival cruise coming up on Dream in Jan. They BETTER have the non alcohol frozen drinks or DW will not be a happy camper. Previous lines all had them and they were cheaper..:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjer2911 Posted September 11, 2009 Author #16 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks everyone. I better start saving up my money. Since we don't drink I was expecting our bar bill to be zero. But if I can get non-alcoholic frozen drinks.....well, I just need to bring extra money! LOL :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmato4 Posted September 11, 2009 #17 Share Posted September 11, 2009 DH loves the non alcoholic foo foo frinks. His favorite is a Strawberry Daquiri. Second favorite Miami Vice. Bartenders usually laugh that I get the alcohol version and he gets the non-alcoholic ones:D but they remember us and we always get great service alcohol or not !:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
