jg51 Posted June 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hello, fellow cruisers! Not long ago, a CruiseCritic member ("ottawapuppy"/Mike), who had cruised on the Solstice in 2010, did all of us huge favor by providing a link to a site where he has 37 pages full of photos of Solstice bar menus: ==> http://schplinky.smugmug.com/Solstice-2010/Bar-Menus/12454637_Aaaum#891894624_SCNbe It took a while, but I manually copied (into a MS Word document) almost all of the martinis listed as available at the Martini Bar and the Ensemble Lounge aboard the Solstice. [The list is at the bottom of this message.] I hope to be aboard -- not the Solstice, but the Equinox -- later this year. The purpose of this thread of mine, therefore, is to ask those of you who have sailed aboard the Equinox to let me know if all the Solstice-menu martinis are also available on the Equinox. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Please add any other comments that you'd like to make! [Today, I hope to start several separate threads -- similar to this one, but for other categories of beverages -- instead of lumping everything into one thread. I think that lumping together everything would be overwhelming, and few people would want to look at it. Please help me on the other threads too, if you can!] :) Here now is the list of martinis on the Solstice's menus. Are all of these available on the Equinox? (By the way, the price is $10, unless otherwise specified.) __ [MARTINI BAR] Sapphire Ginlet Skinny Martini Tropitini Sunset Martini Sapphire French75 Eurekatini Decadence Express Caipirtini Classic Martini Apple M.

jg51 Posted June 27, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Dear martini-lovers who have cruised on the Equinox, Please let me know which were your favorite menu choices. Please let me know if there were any menu items that should be avoided (and why). Please let me know if you ordered any martinis that were not on the menu -- but that the bartender was willing to mix (even if you had to give the ingredients and proportions). Thanks!

ItaliaBella Posted June 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Someone read my mind when I saw the title! Has anyone heard of a card - an alcohol beverage card where you can pay $250 and have all the drinks you want? I think I saw this on a post somewhere and wasn't sure if it was true or not?

Sunset329 Posted June 28, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I hope they still have the Murano Martini. It was our favorite martini on our last Celebrity Cruise (Constellation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Celebrity is now offering several different beverage packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
