I am happy that just a few of us had this experience on two or three ships. Not sure about the cause or why it was for such a short time. Just glad it is no longer an issue, and people can get mixed shots. I would love to know why this was a short-lived event, but I assume I will never know.
Looking back, I could have made some changes to my post to be more direct and avoid all the chaos in this thread. When you are on a cruise, it is easy to post out of passion and not think about being extremely precise in what you are saying so that people do not get triggered. I would love to be able to edit or append the title and first post, but that is not possible for me to do. I apologize for getting people wound up on this post; it was not my intent.
The title should have been something to the extent of. “Currently on NCL Pearl, and they are not allowing mixed shots this cruise as of November 18th, 2022.”
And if I could re-write the first post, it would have this.
“We are currently on the NCL Pearl, and none of the bartenders are allowed to give out mixed shots at any of the bars. Only straight shots are allowed at this time. When I asked, they told me and others on the ship that “it was a directive from the corporate.” I do not know if this is true, just what we were told during our cruise on the NCL Pearl from November 18th to the 29th, 2022. Yes, we had the drink package. We tried every bar other than the Heaven.”
