Virgin Drinks Cheaper?

[rubysasha]

I am pregnant and am just wondering if anyone knows if it is less expensive to buy virgin drinks (daquiris, pina coloda, etc) on RCL?

Thanks....

Yes is is. I don't know how much cheaper it is, but there is a different cost.

The answer is YES, at least it is on the Radiance. I don't drink much alcohol, and actually prefer non-alcoholic beverages, but I really like the tropical stuff. I ordered virgin drinks all week on the Radiance and they were typically $1.50-2.00 cheaper than those with aclohol.

Neither of us usually drink alcohol either. Our experience has shown us that when ordering a "virgin" drink not to ask for a virgin drink. Ask for a drink without the alcohol. EVERY TIME we have asked for a virgin drink, it has included the alcohol (and we have been on seven cruises). We have learned to ask for a non-alcohol drink, not virgin.

I became addicted to virgin Pina Coladas on the Radiance. They were soooo good!

i had pancreatitis a few years back and can no longer have alcohol, at risk of death! i should HOPE that a bartender would know that virgin mean no alcohol? in reference to drinking anyway :eek: . should i be double careful and order a virgin drink with NO alcohol??? redundant, no :confused:

Virgin drinks are not cheaper if you are getting a souvenir glass with it as was the case last week on the Mariner.

DH and I don't care for the taste of alcohol, and on our 20 + cruises, have always ordered 'virgins' and have never been given a drink with alcohol. We also request that our drinks not be brought in souvenir glasses (any one want a set?)

Based on what has happened with us, definitely ask for a drink without alcohol, if you want to include virgin in that sentence, ok, but make sure they understand NO ALCOHOL. As i stated in my previous post, NEVER have we gotten a virgin drink when asking for a virgin drink, we have ALWAYS gotten one with the alcohol in it. Michuck, I am GLAD you have been luckier than we have with the virgin drinks. LOL

I don't drink alcohol and I always ask for non-alcoholic strawberry dacquiri and have never had a problem. I always enjoy teasing my husband that my bar bill is cheaper than his (he gets the ones with the alcohol):) . Our first cruise was the first time I ever had a "fancy" drink. I always figured I had to settle for Coke (or something like that) when I would order something to drink, while everyone else got the frozen drinks with the umbrellas and stuff :o . We were sitting on the beach one day and the waitress kept walking by with all these fancy looking drinks, finally I stopped her and asked if they had anything without alcohol, other than Coke. That's when she told me I could get any of the frozen drinks without the alcohol. I enjoyed my non-alcoholic dacquiri so much that when we got back to the ship that's all I drank for the remainder of the cruise.
