MaiTaiMary Posted September 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's been a while since my last cruise. :o I keep reading about people referring to the DOD, but I forgot what exactly this is. Is it just a regular drink that's on a special sale price for that day? I thought I remembered some kind of souvenir glass, maybe?? What kind of drinks do they have for the DOD?

DoD stands for drink of the day. It will vary from day to day and will be some type of fruity drink. They come in souvenir cups which if you keep can receive the drink at a reduced cost. My profile picture is actually of a full DoD with the saying on the side "officially the best day ever".

Additionally they'll come around with "special" souvenir cups...monkey heads, blow fish..disco balls...whale tails/funnel...those can EASILY double the cost of the DoD. But, if you want one of them, or more as we have, you lay down the $$, but I'd not take any of them back for a refill!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted September 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just a note, they don't always come in the souvenir cups. Some ships (I believe the Freedom and Liberty), the DOD came in a regular glass. But, it tastes just as good! Yes, they do have the other souvenir cups for sale throughout the week...and the shot glasses too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 cruzen Posted September 21, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 21, 2014 What is the "Fun ship special"? How is this different from the "drink of the day"? The Fun Ship Special is the name of the drink, and the first day DOD. You can find the recipe online. I tried to make it but didn't taste the same. I think you need salt water, fun music, and knowing you about to sail for 7 days to make it truly good. :D. I do wish they still had the "best day ever" plastic drink cups.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Some ships have the plastic, hurricane style glass that says "Carnival" with the DOD on embarkation day. At least, as recently as last month.

mickiemac Posted September 26, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I love the FunShip Special on Day 1 of my cruise. Usually on a cruise I try the DOD each day. I have never been adventurous with different drinks, but this is a fun way to exxperience new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
