question about getting drunk onboard

Being drunk isn't a good feeling for me. On the few ocassions when I was, I felt very very sick.

I...freaking...love...this!!! And the pic of Dawson puking is freaking EPIC!!! I will definitely be enjoying my unlimited drink package as one of my perks. I liked starting the days on my last cruise with boozy coffee. People would be so jealous when they saw it. Not my fault they didn't think about adding free booze to the free coffee. A lot of times, depending on the bar, they would go next door to the fancy coffee shop that you pay for to get the coffee. Free to me :-)

Drink wine and prosecco too, that stirs things up nicely. I've never had a problem being 'one of those drunk people'....

Hi Smileygirl :D. Misself here from Epic in October. Prosecco and wine was going to be my suggestion too ;p. Just about to book my Epic adventure for this year x

Long Island's.... that was what did it for me last time.

Yes, long islands and the speakeasy martini

Ah how are you?! Well I'm just back from the Epic med today, what a mess it's been, as usual...I'm hoping to do October again as well, in advance of Xmas and new year...shocking eh?

Dont Eat, eatings cheating.

Okay, i have cruised with NCL many times. I always have a few drinks, even without the UBP. Heres my question, it doesnt seem to matter how many drinks I have, I can never get a buzz. Then I see drunk people all over the boat and I have to wonder, what the heck i'm doing wrong? On land, its 2 drinks and i'm feeling good! Onboard, I usually order things like a non frozen margarita, vodka and tonic, BBC...and always ask for a shot with each drink, which I taste and pour in just to make sure its alcohol..which it sure tastes like it is!

 

Please help me, just for once, I want to be one of those drunk people on the ship! lol!:rolleyes:[/quote

 

Thank you again to everyone that has posted and help to contribute to my goal!

This is what I have learned from all the replies so far:

1. Start drinking before breakfast

2. stick with the hard stuff, or beer or wine...stay away from foo foo drinks ( my fave!)

3. find a bartender, tip them well and they will take care of you

4.eat less

5. drink more

6. stick with si444 in the casino

7. have a few drinks in rapid succession

8.just drink your calories

9. participate in a bar crawl

10. Drink the Tokyo Drift

11. Look for the Chocolate Cowboy Bartender..he's the man

12.Drink faster

13.Drink a couple of shots of Canadian Whiskey or Bourbon in a row

14. Long Islands and Rum and Coke make for a great buzz

15.Dirty Martinis did the trick for Hollr

16.Just stay in the hot tub all day and have drinks delivered!

17. start in the morning with Bloody Mary's and Irish coffee, beer or fruity drinks during the day on sea days, then at night Martini's or Vodka Gimlets

18.Uneamie sleeps right through any buzz they get with only 2 or 3 glasses of wine....they need a nap

19. make sure you are drinking before your meals. You'll want to grab a drink at one of the bars so that you can get one in on a totally empty stomach. Then order a second drink as soon as you sit down and a third when your meal arrives

20. stay away from the Pina Colada, Daiquiri, sweet type drinks

21. drink vodka martinis

22.Oh there is a drink in the sunset bar - Blondie008 forget what it is called. It is served in a flute - she wants to say there is star anise in it? Its a good one - It comes with a free shot of "I am the best karaoke star ever"

And if the wine fails, the Martinis fail and the Star Anise doesn't hit the spot

There is always Tequila shots and Fireball shots.23.Tito's and pineapple juice..yum!!!

24. Drink enough to keep a good buzz all day without ending up face down by dinner time!

25.Cuba libres are lethal!

26.Try 6 glasses of Prosecco with tequila chasers during the afternoon then it`s night ,night see you tomorrow xxx

27.Try liquid marajuana shots and always sit at the bar

28.Stick to stuff that can not be short poured; beer and wine. Or get liquor on rocks with no other mixers

29.Do NOT drink wine unless you enjoy projectile vomiting. Start drinking at breakfast. Have some fried eggs (grease is good) and a couple of screwdrivers . Drink all day, so you build that buzz. Your first two drinks should be on an empty stomach, again eating too much will make your task more difficult.

30.If you can find a bartender who'll mix you one, try an "Adios Mother effer", it's blue , sort of like a Long Island ice tea on steroids:o

Those Martinis did it for me [emoji5]two and I was all set!

Most importantly, take notes. When you can't remember what you had the night before, you have it documented for future use!

Not on the ship, but take a snorkeling excursion that provides rum punch and other liqueurs, skip the snorkeling and stay on the boat and drink. That's how my husband got plastered in St Thomas!

I order Vodka and orange, Then tell em "No Ice & no orange" ;- )

This!

Albeit my first cruise was 14 years ago so that could be partially to blame for me not remembering much of it but I do recall getting completing plastered on the rum punches (double fisting it always) on the two excursions we took that involved catamarans or boats. Ugh... couldn't even make dinner one of those nights.

Oh I believe we all forget to remind you. Always mix prescription medication with alcohol, especially the ones that say "not to". I find that always helps get or increase a buzz.
