Alcoholic drinks - questions

[Masonpips]

1) refillable mug - beer only right? Initial cost + refills?

2) no drink cards? I saw some other line had 12 drinks for $39 (basic rum/coke, screwdriver, etc. - no premium brands)

3) the "drink of the days" - any alcohol content or just pretty for show/looks? Specifically at the Sail Away party - I saw those tall red-ish frozen looking drinks - those look VERY tasty - anyone try them?

Dh and I enjoy a cocktail or two now and then and I have no problem paying for them, but let's be honest - it is worth it?

THANKS!!

Officially... yes. Although some DISers have reported finding waiters who offer a little flexibility.

Initial cost + refills?

Nope. DCL does not offer this.

Yes, they have alcohol.

Dave is right on with this, (as per usual Dave), but to elaborate:

The beer mug is a good deal, if'n you're a beer drinker. You buy the 20 oz. mug, then they refill it for the price you'd pay for a can (12 oz.) of beer. Without mentioning the name of a particular bartender, I actually got mine 'topped off' a few times free. So, it was the way to go for a beer guzzlin' guy like me. No Coors Light, but hey - beggers can't be choosers!

The tall red drinks you mentioned....I think they are the frozen daquiri's. They also layer 1/2 pina colada and 1/2 strawberry daquiri for what they call a Miami Vice. Very good indeed. The drinks of the day are less money they the regular drinks. They also have two for one margarita's one day.

YES! We just got back from the July 4th cruise and found some delicous drinks. The sail away party drink was "Stars & Stripes", Strawberry Daquari, Pina Colada, and Blue Curacoa...Yummy! I also found a new favorite drink on board, the Kaluah Colada...again, very good. And at Signals, they make a great Mudslide, complete with chocolate around the cup, to sip while sitting by the pool. Part of vacation to me is getting the chance to have a few cocktails, and it was well worth the money we spent on them(which was quite a bit for 3 days )
