What is the best drink bang for your buck on a RCCL ship?

 

I found all the drinks on the strong side. But, I would have to say margarita on the rocks and the martinis

Long Island Ice Tea, hands down in my opinion.

The one you can get someone else to pay for. They do typically make strong drinks. I know when I was drinking rum and coke I asked the bartender why they were so strong and he said the rum is cheaper than the coke.

Straight liquor.

 

Jack Daniels is $5.60 plus 15% gratuity.

Vodka tonic. Actually, ANY regular cocktail (mixed drink...not frozen) will be much stronger than you get in land-based bars....they do a liberal pour! Frozen drinks are quite weak. Beer is cheaper, but not as strong....but you can drink for longer with beer, than with liquor!

Wine is WAAAAY overpriced!

Love this thread, lol. Like others said, mixed drinks are all quite strong.

Another vote for water.

The one you like and will drink, otherwise it's just a waste of money.

Best drink bang for buck is in diamond or concierge club 5-8:30 each night :)

Yep, have to agree with you Greg. (Dancinman66).

And JasonV1.

 

Off Rhapsody yesterday, and one of our fellow Concierge guests was staggering after many Long Island Teas.:o

Vodka martinis work for me!

If they have it on the ship, it would likely be something made with 151 proof rum.

Italian Tea or Long Island Tea. Very potent!

Actually it would be true if they are using canned coke. Duty free rum in bulk is less than two cents ($0.02) per ounce. Coke out of gun would be cheaper than that, but probably not out of a can. Given that labor is paid for by tips, the most expensive item in any non-call-brand drink is probably the paper umbrella in frozen drinks.

 

Water is in short supply in the Caribbean (the ship makes their own from sea water); all those days of sunshine come at a price of not much rain outside of hurricane season. Land resorts in the Caribbean often have complimentary afternoon rum punch parties - it turns out that rum punches are cheaper than long showers.

Black Russian, Its what works for me, 2 parts voldka 1 part kulula,ice.

Boston Iced Tea Party in the pub onboard... Learned my lesson about that one on the last cruise!

Not much on the frozen drinks, I like a nice bourbon and ginger ale or gin and tonic. On our last cruise I tried one of the specialty drinks - the Captain's Caipirinha, it had a major punch! Really interesting flavors unlike a straight up gin and tonic or similar drink.

My drunken neighbor used to drink those. She got pretty wasted.
