Cuizer2 Posted January 16, 2010 #26 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The first glass of Champagne at embarkation is a must. (Not the cheap sparkling wine they serve for free, only real Champagne is a must.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowbiter Posted January 16, 2010 #29 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I had it on the Spirit last year, it is sweet without a strong alcohol taste. It's like a smoothie. 1 oz creme de bananes 1 oz creme de cacao 1 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur 2 scoops vanilla ice cream Blend six ice cubes with ice-cream in a blender until smooth. Add liqueurs and continue blending, again until smooth. Add more ice-cream if needed (for milk-shake consistency). Pour into a highball glass, and serve. Ahh I had that in Mexico. They called it a dirty monkey though :) And they do have Miami Vice's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Spirit Posted January 17, 2010 #34 Share Posted January 17, 2010 On my last cruise, I tried a "Yellow Bird" really liked it, anyone knows if they serve that on NCL? Love Miami Vice. Non fu-fu drink.... Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocklandCruiser Posted January 17, 2010 #35 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Friscorays - love your kitty avatar - looks like my kitty, Hudson. Here he is trying to stowaway in my carry on bag! When we were on the Gem in 2008, I asked for a frozen strawberry margarita at Tequilla bar. The bartender told me they had run out of strawberry mix. I got a plain frozen one instead. The next night I again asked for strawberry. The bartender nicely reminded me that we had been at sea the last 24 hours - where was he going to get more strawberry mix?! My husband loves this story :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venichana Posted January 17, 2010 #41 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Love these postings. For me it depends on the time of day... for breakfast - Kahlua and Coffee; mid-day - Bloody Mary's (although do love the fun frozen drinks); evening - Whiskey and Wine!

Norwaylin Posted January 17, 2010 #42 Share Posted January 17, 2010 On my first cruise (NCL's Norway), I tried my first Yellow Bird. After that, the majority of my drinks were Yellow Birds. The double Yellow Bird sounds good about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowbiter Posted January 17, 2010 #43 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What exactly is a yellow bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa-rm Posted January 18, 2010 #44 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Took me 4 days to learn about it, but I found that you could get a 1 liter mug of beer at the Pub for $10. Plus you get to keep the mug!!! Doing the math, that was 3 beers (and good beer) for only $10. It works out cheaper than Coors Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venichana Posted January 18, 2010 #45 Share Posted January 18, 2010 What exactly is a yellow bird? I bet there are lots of different versions - here's the one I make: Ingredients: 1/2 oz Vodka 1/2 oz Galliano liqueur 1 oz Bacardi 151 Rum 4 oz Sweet and Sour mix Step 1Combine the Bacardi 151, Galliano, and Vodka into a shaker, and shake well but not too long. Step 2 Mix the sweet and sour together with a mixer, and then add to the Highball glass with crushed ice. Step 3 Garnish with a Maraschino Cherry and serve.

galensgrl Posted January 18, 2010 #46 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I looked up the recipe for a yellow bird mixed drink and came up with 2 different recipes- 1oz 151 rum .5 oz Galliano .5 oz vodka 4oz sweet n' sour mix or- 1oz dark rum 1oz white rum .25 oz Galliano 1.25 oz orange juice .5 oz lime juice Haven't had one yet, but I like rum so I'd try it. On our last cruise in May 09' on the Spirit from Boston to Bermuda, we drank Long Island Iced Teas, Suffering Bastards, Pina Coladas, Black Seal Rum with cola and lime, beer, and wine with dinner a couple of times in Le Bistro. We also attended both Martini tastings which are fun, informative, and a good deal I thought as we pretty much got 5 nearly full size martinis for $15 each time.
