Questions regarding the drink of the day

What's the souvenir cup like? Is it made out of glass?

Plastic hurricane shaped glass with the logo on it. Like THIS.

It can be quite a lot. We just got back off the Fantasy. The DotD was $4.95, but, for example, each dining menu has specialty drinks that are regular (unlisted) price. My brother and his wife would each try 1-2 every night, round it off with a beer. I tried to warn them to stick to the DotD. His wife about had a heart attack when she saw their onboard account about day 5. Yep, regular drinks were priced at what you'd pay at a decent restaurant, so $10-15 each (beers were cheaper, I think he was just drinking Miller Lite for $5 a can).

But nobody ever listens to me

Wohhh. 10-15$ is expensive.

I was just talking to someone this weekend about these drinks of the day and they were saying the Yellow Bird is really good. Anyone know what's in that drink?

I have found a recipe on the internet:

White Rum • Splash of Crème de Banane • Splash of Galliano • Pineapple Juice • Orange Juice

Yes, gratuities are automatically added to any drink order.

Stingray - tried it, not my favorite. I think the only drink I've ever ordered twice was the Tropical Depression on CC. The only depression I felt was leaving the island!

What is in it?

I love those glasses. Are they made of plastic? (I guess they are since I always see them around the pool).

Mine was plastic. They last a while. I think I may still have it.

Unfortunately I don't recall but it wasn't mostly "juices" like a lot of the drinks. So I got my money's worth AND it was tasty!

We dont ever buy those but it sounds a little deceptive.

If you buy your first DoD in the souvenir cup at the higher price, you get it refilled the rest of the trip for the lower price. You get more ounces in the souvenir cup, so its a better deal. You can either wash the cup in your room, or ask the bar tender to exchange yours for a new one, most will.

THe drink of the day was $4.95; careful as if they bring you a drink in a souvenir cup, that's $9.95. I believe I was told most of them were $6.95. On CC most were just over $5.00. Keep in mind, they drinks they sell at the "Sail Away" are NOT the drinks of the day. They are the frozen varieties in the souvenir cup. FYI. Hope this helps. The Drink of the Day each day is posted in the Navigator.

That looks cute! I might have to order a couple to bring home.

You buy the DotD at it's regular price. And you buy the souvenir cup. Then you continue to buy the DotD at it's regular price (which is cheaper than the rest of the drinks).

I had a drink of the day once and I don't remember which ship or itinerary it was but it was so delicious, I actually had two. Was probably 3 years ago,
I think I got it on deck 4 Promenade Lounge and it was purple.
Anyone know what this drink is called? I want another one on our next cruise!

Can you get a DotD at Bon Voyage when you board?

The list is pretty long but who knows. You might remember when you read the name...?

The only time I had a Yellow Bird was admittedly on a different cruise line. But...it was during the Alaska Running Cruise at our closing reception and I didn't know they were bringing more drinks out, so I took the only thing left which was a Yellow Bird - DISGUSTING. Tasted like yellow triaminic. It was all I could to do swallow that small sip I'd taken. As soon as I saw a new tray of stuff come out, I bolted for it so I could get something I liked and not get stuck again.

That reminds me of a time where with a few friends about three of us were raving about how good this particular single malt scotch was, and one of the other guys who normally has just vodka, wanted to try it since we were talking about it, so we get the round, he tries it, and everyone almost got sprayed with scotch as he almost instantly spit it out saying it was terrible. So I guess you always have to take someone saying how good something is with a grain of salt.

Just got back from 4 night. The drinks were Bahamas mama, two season, stingray, and mai tai. The price includes a 15% gratuity. It was $10.93 for TWO drinks....so about $5.46 each. While on castaway cay they are slightly higher because there is a small tax added. I agree with others, we just go to the bar and get them. We don't buy the first day glasses.

The Tropical Depression I liked so much on CC was purple! Maybe that's it. It was nummy and stronger than some of those "mostly juice" drinks.
