alymb03 Posted January 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I ordered some vodka for my cruise next week. I am planning on taking a few sodas/juice with me for mixing, but it won't make it through the week. What do you all do for mixers? Room service? Fill a bottle at breakfast? Any tips? Thank you!

SG81 Posted January 11, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2011 when i ordered a bottle of rum from BV, we also bought a soda card and used that to get mixer. we also used the soda card for drinking regular drinks while eating etc., so it was worth it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEBnGAB Posted January 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2011 hmmm, that's an idea. did you order the sodas from room service or just ordered them while out and about to take back to the room? You're permitted to bring soda on board in your carryon. We bring cranberry and also use the juice and lemonade from the buffet area. Also, I bought some hawaiian punch mixer packets...the kind you add to a water bottle and shake up...they worked really well and took up very little room in my luggage.

golfgod003 Posted January 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You can also bring mixers on board after visiting the various ports. Just go to a local grocery store and bring back what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scm1063 Posted January 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You can always pick up more mixers in each port that you stop at. 12 non-alcholic drinks per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmorg Posted January 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We bring some cranberry juice, soda/pop, & waters. We also use some of the lemonade on board for mixers. Besides the stuff we bring & what's on the ship, we also mix with Crystal light "to-go" packets. Vodka, cran juice & lemonade or crystal light is yummmmy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alymb03 Posted January 11, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted January 11, 2011 thanks for the tips everyone! i did not know that we could pick up more drinks while in the ports and the crystal light/fruit punch packet idea is also a great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davfamno2 Posted January 11, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I use the lemonade from the buffet and bring on a couple jars of marshino cherries. Mix the lemonade, vodka and a couple spoonfuls of cherry juice. My husband also uses the cherry juice to make cherry rum and cokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.C05 Posted January 11, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I may need to test out the Crystal Light fruit punch with Malibu....but wouldn't that taste like watered down spiked crystal light? Hmmmmm.....we will be using OJ from the buffett in the morning as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted January 11, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Personally, I liked my vodka with the Ice Tea, and I brought my own packets of Sugar free Lemonade to mix all together. Called an Arnold Palmer without the Vodka, but with the Vodka, I think they have named it a John Daly. Bringing my own lemonade packets cuts down on the tons of sugar their lemonade has. If you don't care about that, just mix their lemonade and ice tea and add your vodka....yummy!!!! Like others have said, the little packets of various flavors work very well with the vodka and easy to take along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highbridge5 Posted January 11, 2011 #22 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Somewhere on CC, I thought I read something about being able to order a "bar setup" from room service. I guess if you were entertaining in your cabin with your BV items, you can order the mixers and glasses etc. to go with it. Also, have your room steward provide you with the right glassware. Scotch is just better in a rocks glass and red wine in a red wine glass and not the glass the give you to brush your teeth with... Any glassware they have a the bar they can probably get you for your room. hb5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
