mintsugarcube Posted May 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2014 When I ordered my mixed drinks, e.g pina colada etc and received it in their standard colorful plastic "glasses" I was charged a dollar extra for the glass. If I wanted another drink, I would have to take the empty plastic cup back to the bar so I wasn't charged the extra dollar again. Does Carnival still do this? If so, how do others handle this? The thought of having to carry my empty around with me until I'm thirsty again doesn't sound like fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you've been getting your drinks in a souvenir glass of some sort, but they're usually more than a dollar. If you get your drink in a regular glass, you shouldn't be getting charged a dollar, and you don't have to carry around the empty glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted May 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Carnival no longer sells the drink of the day in a Souvenir glass. And if you have an old one they may serve it in the glass but it will be the regular price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbum53 Posted May 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Can you tell me how much the DOD's are these days? Thanks! Sorry, but I haven't committed that information to my long-term memory (which seems to grow shorter as I get older). If you go to Zydecocruiser.com, you'll be able to find bar prices, and I think D.O.D. prices are on there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hurricane style souvenir glasses have been being phased out across the fleet.....I don't think I saw one on any of the ships I was on last year, I needed the teal one to complete my set. You can purchase a tumbler from Red Frog or the Carnival Tumbler and they will serve a DoD in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hurricane style souvenir glasses show up from time to time on ebay, along with other souvenir glasses from Carnival.

Taters Posted May 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I have a whole collection of souvenier glasses that are actually made of (gulp) GLASS! :-) I sure wish they'd bring those back. I do not like drinking out of plastic. Edited May 14, 2014 by Taters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller_KC Posted May 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) The special DOD cups are now shaped like Coconut Monkey heads, a Disco Mirror Ball, and the Ships Funnel. I think they're like $15. Edited May 14, 2014 by Miller_KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenhem31 Posted May 14, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I just got off the Paradise and the most expensive DOD was $17. They were average $15 I think. With tip. I did get the hurricane glass on embarkation day. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmetfan Posted May 16, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I was on the Splendor 2 weeks ago. I can confirm that the hurricane souvenir glasses are back (at least for the first 2 or 3 days of the cruise). I think the DOD was 8.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
