swscruiser Posted July 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hi, My wife likes the Miami Vice. It is 1/2 strawberry daquari (sp) and 1/2 pina colada. Virgin of course. It is very good. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauline664 Posted July 6, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ask for the DOD virgin...they will make it. Any drink they make you can get it virgin...but will probably charge as much as with alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearGA Posted July 6, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Also, when ordering the DOD mocktails, if it's for one of your underage travelers, make sure to take a test sip. Our last cruise our DD was served the real thing on more than one occasion. They make so many of them, it's an honest mistake. Just had to drink it myself and order her another. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinamamasita Posted July 6, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yes they are able make all their drinks as Virgin Drinks , if you ask they are just slightly lower priced though ... I also have the Carnival Cocktails book and they list several extra non alcoholic drinks in them :) under the Zero Content - Innocent Fun page!! here they are : Pink Panther Coconut Kiss Pineapple Delight Fantasy Passion Summer Breeze Calypso Cherry Kiss Summer Dream Sensation Passion Tropical Fruit Punch Caribbean Fruit Smash Tropical Island Smoothy Now be aware that some of the bartenders may not be used to making some of the drinks... That is why I always have my Carnival Cocktails book Handy with me :D They will make any drink listed in there ... if you shhow it to them & they are eager to please ;) It is well worth the few dollars I spent on it. For my birthday group last year , I purchased the Carnival Cocktails book for each cabin and everyone seemed glad to have it , I might add:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last cruise our DD was served the real thing on more than one occasion. They make so many of them, it's an honest mistake. Just had to drink it myself and order her another. :p We had a similar situation...in the show lounge. My niece ordered a strawberry dacquiri - virgin and got the real thing :eek: ! I'm sure it was just a mistake since it was dark and the waiter had several on his tray - I think he just gave her the wrong one. But after a couple of sips - she leaned over to me and said..."this doesn't taste right". I took a sip and knew right away why ;) . I really feel bad for whoever got the one without the alcohol....I'll bet they said "this doesn't taste right" too :eek: :D !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpstateCruizer Posted July 6, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Drinks without alcohol ?? :eek: Ok in all seriousness most of the frozen drinks are awesome without the alcohol. I'd stay away from the DOD's though. Most of them contain several different flavored alcohol which in turn is what gives the drink a certain flavor. I'm not sure it's possible to mock each of those flavors without the alcohol. Ex.. the ones that use the banana flavored rums, chocolate liquors etc. Trying to duplicate that specific taste would be hard since it's the combination of flavors that makes the final product so good. I absolutely love the miami vice and could drink it without the added booze and still love it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalibuBarbie Posted July 6, 2008 #18 Share Posted July 6, 2008 So where does one find the little book of Carnival drinks-only on the ship or can I find it elsewhere? I am getting married next year and I would love to put one of these books into each of the bags I am making for each cabin. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter also was served a fully loaded strawberry daquiri, even though it was ordered virgin. I'm not sure if the waiter didn't understand that virgin means no alcohol or what. So, yeah, parents need to test sip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
