philsfun Posted January 21, 2010 #27 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We are sailing on Feb 15th if someone has any coupons they would be willing to part with. I'll gladly pay the postage:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted January 21, 2010 #28 Share Posted January 21, 2010 On a kind of side note, we were told this week-end that you HAVE to use all your drink coupons on this sailing and not future. They are coded. It could happen to work if the bartender on new sailing will allow but they told us it was very doubtful. Unless something has changed very recently that's not true. I used drink coupons from last February on my sailing on the Carnival Dream just two months ago... I've heard this same thing several times in the past and it's never been true... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifCruiser1 Posted January 21, 2010 #30 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We love the funnel cups they make great piggy banks when you get home, I've saved as much as $90 in them great for future cruise drinks! Karon:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosefloater Posted January 21, 2010 #31 Share Posted January 21, 2010 That's a Mocha Chocolate Getaway... my girlfriend, Stitch, had that on the Dream and said it was amazing! :) what's in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted January 21, 2010 #32 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Oh crap I have coupons from last year that I keep forgetting to use:eek: I also have some from my last sailing. I hope this is not true, cause we bought a lot extra for our Liberty sailing, thinking we would use them on our NEXT cruise. I don't drink that much - but I may have to start!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyroger Posted January 21, 2010 #33 Share Posted January 21, 2010 DODs are served in the same souvenir glass (plastic...): Some ships have yellow and/or orange glasses but the same shape. You save about $.75/ DOD without the glass. You can also purchase extra cost coconut monkey heads for your drinks... :) One word.....HAPPY!!!!!!!

Willie T Posted January 21, 2010 #35 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I bought a Monkeyhead drink and a Whaletail drink, because....I had to. Pretty spendy, but I had to have them, so I'am happy, but just a little FYI for those who are planning on getting them: the cup that holds the actual drink inside is very small. So it kind of seems like your getting a nice big drink, but I think you really get a smaller one. Hope I'am wrong on this. Anyway, I love mine and am happy I bought them. (Somehow I also have growing collection of plastic DOD glasses too. But they're great for pre-cruise parties.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted January 21, 2010 #36 Share Posted January 21, 2010 what's in it? Brogan's Irish Cream, Gosling's Black Seal Rum and Ghirardelli chocolate... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted January 21, 2010 #37 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Sorry if this is a silly question-1st cruise in April-:o So if I don't want a souvenir cup...I can just ask for a DoD in a regular cup? On our Glory cruise, there were empty DOD glasses all over the ship that people had left behind. The staff was just throwing them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalwife Posted January 21, 2010 #38 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I hope those of you saying you can use drink coupons are correct, but I did ask two different bartenders on the Imagination this past week-end. I wanted to use them for our Dream Cruise. When told no both times, I ended up traded in four of them for a bottle of wine in the dining room which I brought home. Both bartenders told me the coupons are coded by ship and can only be accepted by the ship they were purchased for and linked to the same booking. One bartended showed me the numbers on each coupon and said that was the code. Now, they may have just been saying as they have been taught on this ship but seemed to be in agreement at two different bars. Maybe if you get certain bartenders on future ships and just hand them to them, they will let you use them. I think that is how it should be but not what I was told this past week-end when I asked twice. Perhaps you can call CCL and get a name or e-mail confirmation that it is okay to use them on next ship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted January 21, 2010 #40 Share Posted January 21, 2010 is there any code or date on them>? No dates or codes. Just the regular numbers, as the drink coupons have always had. We always have some left over from each cruise, and just use them on the next. Truthfully, I am not really worried about it. It doesn't say anywhere (on Carnival site) that purchased drink coupons have to be used on that sailing, exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look like they have always looked from way back. Maybe it is something new? Hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalwife Posted January 21, 2010 #42 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Okay. The mystery is solved and we have a good answer. I called Bon Voyage Department and she seemed to know for sure - but then again, the bartenders were adamant as well... Let's go with Bon Voyage though. :) You certainly can use them on future sailings. Now, if you have several of them, you should call Bon Voyage prior to sailing and let them know. You should try to use coupons within one year. There technically is no expiration date, but she said you should call prior to sailing if you have older ones so they can make note and will be valid on ship with no questions - I guess if you get bartenders like I had. :eek: Hope this clears this up for all.

kona_wahine Posted January 21, 2010 #43 Share Posted January 21, 2010 If you buy one of the souvenior glasses, can you continue to use it the whole week for the discount price? I wouldn't mind getting one, but I don't want to have to get one each day. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for checking up on that. I will use my "old" coupons first, then my new ones. I will use any left-over "new" ones in December - unless I can talk dh into cruising over this summer!

Karon:) That is what I use my MonkeyHead and Funnel cups for. All of my change goes in them and since my last cruise I have saved just over $600 to use last week on the Splendor (which I missed because of emergency medical problems), There will be another cruise so I can use all of my change on that one.

Thats what I've been using mine for too. I got my monkey head on my first cruise and my Whale tail cup on the Freedom last June. Unfortunately my 2 year old loved the Whale Tail cup so much she would carry it around the house and broke it a week after I got back from the cruise so I hope continue to sell them. Happy Cruising Ya'll!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
