Drink of the day card

[Snoopy64]

I know this question has been asked before, but I could not find the information. Can you please tell me if Carnival Glory offers this DOD card, how does it work and what usually are the drinks you get with it. Thanks:)

We just got off of the Glory in January and we bought a drink of the day card for myself and DH. You get a card with 5 circles on it and when you get your drink they just punch a hole in the card. You could drink them all in one day if you want or one a day. I remember one time I didn't really like what the drink of the day was and they let me get something else that was equal in value to the drink of the day. I hope this helped.

How much is a DOD card? What was the name of the drink you didn't like? Is there a discount involved? Do you buy them daily?

[brilliantseas]

The DOD card works out to about $26 ($5.20 per drink) including gratuity. A decent savings off of the $7.50/drink + gratuity if you buy the souvenir glass DOD.

[Morcruisin4Fun]

That sounds like a good deal. Do you get these cards daily from the servers?

If you like the non frozen kind of drinks like I do the specials are cheaper, they have specials in the mornings and 2 hours as you are leaving a port.

Morcruisin4Fun - as far as I could tell from the previous post you get them from any bar on board. It's a card with 5 squares that I assume the bar tenders punch every time you use it. So it's like $26 for 5 DOD's!

Yes you can buy them at any bar. They are available anytime throughout the cruise.

Do you know if this is only on the Glory or on all Carnival Ships?

And are you getting the DOD plastic souvenir glass, or a 'normal' one? It's been a while since I cruised, so my memory is foggy.

 

 

If I remember right, you could order the DOD in the main dining rooms..they were less expensive, and served in regular size glasses... is this the same size drink you are gettiing with the DOD card?

[jimbug]

Do you "have" to get the DOD with these? (Yes, I know, that's the whole point...)

It's just that other than the Funship Special, I never care much for the actual DODs...but it would be nice to get the savings on something of equal value, like a daiquiri or pina colada.

You can do this at most of the bars as well. Someone a while back figured it out here, it's cheaper in the long run to buy the regular glass then to keep getting souvenir glass refills.

Is that $5.20 not very close, if not the same price, as if you should just get a refill of your DOD using your old glass? I remember the refill was cheaper, but I can not remember the exact cost.

I bought a few last month while on the Legend, I looked at my statement and the cards were 26.45 and that included tax and gratuities.

I think that these cards replaced the regular glass drinks that were cheaper. When I asked for a DOD in a regular glass I was told that I needed to purchase a card. Maybe it was just that bartender, I didn’t ask again, I just bought another card

On the card itself it says that it’s a 20 percent savings off the regular price.

When I poured my regular glass into the DOD souvenir glass it filled it up so no they are not smaller just shaped differently

So are they just trying to make people they're getting a deal?? I seem to recall DODs in a regular glass being $4.95 + gratuity. :mad: That's a 40 cent savings, which is more like 7%. :mad:

Does anyone know if all Carnival ships offer a drink of the day card? I will be sailing on the Spirit 4/12.

I dont like the other DOD's either and from what I understand you cannot use it for frozen drinks
