Is bottled water included and are you allowed to take a drink with you from the casino when you are done playing, such as a glass of wine to take to dinner? Thanks

Yes bottled water is included.  FYI You can order one alcoholic AND one non-alcoholic drink (a can of soda/coffee/water/Etc.) at the same time, but you can NOT order a non-alcoholic drink and a bottle of water or two cans of soda at the same time.

Just throwing in something I didn't know before last cruise.  I had Drinks while playing, only for myself, my sister got drinks while playing after I reached 1500 points.  She's not a big casino person, so she wouldn't have reached 1500 on her own.

Anything the casino bar has - wine, beer, seltzers, sodas, hard liquor.

 

Things like spiked coffee or milkshakes may not be available at the casino bar and thus not included.

Having said that it with regards to cocktails it has to be something that the casino bar is allowed and/or KNOWS to make and has all the ingredients. Just last month I was on the Luminosa and I had Drinks  Everywhere and went up to the Casino Bar and asked them to make a Negroni. It literally took 5 minutes for the bartender to find out whether he could do it. He had to go to the back to ask permission. Turned out he couldn't do it because they couldn't ring it up even though it was going to be a free drink. In other words they only wanted to make the cocktails that were on the 'casino bar menu'. I had to go to Alchemy Bar. Don't get me started about asking bartenders to make a Boulevardier. The bartenders on most Carnival ships aren't real mixologists (Except at the specialty bars like Alchemy) and only know how to make the drinks listed in the menus.

Casino bar being probably the busiest bar on the ship most evenings I sort of understand it I guess. I remember asking for a daiquiri a while back, the bartender had no idea there was any kind of daiquiri other than the frozen strawberry syrupy one. I was relieved when I saw the traditional daiquiri on the Havana Bar menu the first time I sailed on the Sunshine.

I have a question about this - and it isn't me - But Drinks on Us with Companion ... Does that companion HAVE to be 21 years or older?  A woman posted wanting her underage daughter to be the 'companion' on her Drinks on Us offer.   I don't think this is allowed, but IDK.   Thoughts or have experienced this?  Thx!!

Yes, they must be over 21.  People assume that under 21 can get non alcoholic beverages but they can't since the DOU/DOUE won't code into the underage folio

Because you used her card to accumulate points?

Are they able to make frozen drinks in the casino such as a mocha chocolate getaway or kiss on the lips. I've never tried either one of them but those are the two I keep reading are most associated with Carnival so it seems like they would be available if they have the machines to make them.

Then she earned enough points on her own. 

See this is the issue I have when people CLAIM they don't gamble alot and get totally free cruise offer while only spending $200 in the casino. People misremember or flat out aren't honest about the amount they spend on the casino.

I think many times they bought it and fibbed, like telling the cheapo spouse they booked an interior but got a Free Balcony when they booked the balcony to start.
