After Dinner Drinks in Swirl Glasses

[pasodancer]

I’ve always seen passengers get those really neat “after dinner drinks” in the swirl type glasses. Can anyone tell me the types of drinks as well as the approximate cost for the souvenir glass?//Maria :)

Are you referring to these:

 

 

If so, they can be had at most bars for any cocktail type drink...the new ones are different and have a kind of colored dots on them instead of swirls...like this.

 

But they are the price of the drink plus a little. Or you can just purchase the glasses, sometimes in the gift shop that does liquor or at bars on the ship. After dinner drinks aperitifs etc are now served in these:

 

Sorry but I dont' recall the exact cost...but nothing earth shattering a few dollars, 2 or 3.

That's it!!!!

 

Thank you - thinking of getting them this time around (upcoming cruise). Just checked them out on eBay and I have a feeling they will be cheaper on the ship!

[BecciBoo]

I'm thinking under $10 with the drink!...don't keep track of those things....I have every color of the swirls and most of the aperitif glasses as well.:p But I haven't seen the swirls in a while, they might not be available, just the new ones with the dots. So if you MUST have them, ebay is it...sorry.

Take some bubble wrap for packaging for the trip home. We got two of them on our Mariner cruise a few years back. Only one survived the trip home. I still have it on the book shelf in my family room, right next to our cruise photo.

On my last cruise it cost about $9 for the cocktail of the day and you got to keep the pretty glass.

If we have the drink package - I assume we have to pay extra for glass? What is the cost, Thanks

On our Nov. 3rd cruise on the Explorer, our cabin attendant was giving out bubble wrap to any passengers who asked for it. That was really nice.

As we left our cruise ship last September, one of the room stewards gave us four of these that had been left behind, we were delighted, they're very cute.

It was $2.75 but I think it is now $3

I purchased xtras from the liquor store so I would have every color and he packed them in the box they came in (4 to a box), then I just hand carried them in my Vera bag onto the plane with me. I would not pack them in the checked bags.

Thanks for the tip about the bubble wrap - wasn't on my packing list.I am so looking forward to acquiring these glasses.

They had these on the Allure - I thought they were fabulous!

Last sea day there is usually a set up in the shops area where you can buy them in the box (sans alcohol unfortunately:rolleyes:), we used this to collect the colors we were missing on the shot glasses :D

The glasses are great. I use mine throughout the year both for drinks as well as for special salads or shimp cocktail.

We tend to use ours for ice cream sundaes :)

Plenty can be had on eBay. I grabbed a few of these for a Royal themed mother's day gift for my wife last year with a bunch of other logo items and gear.

[pasodancer]

I almost forgot about the Last Sea Day sale!!!!

Love reading about how everyone uses their glasses... I bought one to work and it holds my paperclips. :) Nice little cruise reminder during the work day. hehe

Apples and oranges, I know, but on Carnival Sensation back in Feb. of this year, they had something VERY similar, shot sized, with "Lemon Drop" liquor shots for $5 ea and you keep the glass. Me and by brother, $30 later, we had 6 glasses to bring home. Great souvenirs for family, as we kept one each, parents left with one each, and our g/f's at home got one.

 

I sip Jack Daniels, so the drink itself was lacking, but I digress.

You are so right - love hearing the uses for the glasses - in addition to being a great memory of a fabulous time!
