lls-con Posted October 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I understand that the ship will have a drink of the day. How much is it? Also, is it cheaper to buy the souveneir mug and pay for refills, or is cheaper to just ask for the drink of the day in a regular cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyDD Posted October 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The drink of the day is usually $6 or $7 dollars in mug. Then you can use the mug for the rest of the cruise and get the drink of the day cheaper. On the Spirit in August if you bought the drink of the day in the casino they gave you a $5 chip to play so it only cost you a couple of bucks.

CPPADILLA Posted October 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2006 On the Spirit last week I bought a mai tai while out by the failtail pool. I didn't notice the pricing until later -- the drink was approximately 8 oz. in size, $9.78 with tax and gratuity. Probably a good thing that I drank it first before looking at the price. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CRUZIN' SUZIN Posted October 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have never had a foo-foo that was over $6 unless it was in the souvenir glass (plastic). Funship Specials are the cheapest at less than $4 per drink (regular glass). However, even the most exotic foo-foo's are usually less than $6 each. I don't believe the refilss are that cheap. If anything it is at least $5.95 plus tip. I wouldn't want to be bothered with carrying around the glass so unless you really want to take home one of those souvenir glasses, just get the drink in a regular glass and enjoy.

CPPADILLA Posted October 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Just so no one is confused my $9.78 mai tai was NOT in a specialty glass. I thought $9.78 was dang HIGH for a drink, especially when I got a maragarita in Ixtapa for $2.50, which by the way was REAL GOOD. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the cost of two foo-foo drinks on Carnival. Who knows. Maybe it was a compoota glitch.:eek: Excuse me? Why yes. I am a foo-foo expert!!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsha Was it worth it to carry the glass around? Just curious. I am so absentminded (or is that drunk?) that I would lose the glass in short order.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshabear Posted October 28, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2006 we didn't really carry it around...when we decided we wanted a drink, we would just bring it from our cabin...we are not heavy drinkers....usually have 1 at the pool so we brought it with all our pool stuff(tan lotion, towels, book, sunglasses ) and got 1 before the shows....so it wasn't like we were carrying it around all day and night...

victory2020 Posted October 28, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2006 How do the drink coupons that you buy in the gift section (4 for $19.50) work? Are they good for any drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
