gator582 Posted May 26, 2013 #126 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Maybe someone onboard can go to Croners then post the recipes, we can mix them at home and watch the bridgecam while we wait to sail :D Not a bad idea. I still have 3 months to wait. ;) Edited May 26, 2013 by gator582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JustinPlusLauren Posted May 26, 2013 #127 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I really enjoy....the 3 berry daiquiri, banana daiquiri, pina colada, emerald breeze, and other various martinis....yum! I look forward to trying more martinis in crooners this upcoming cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink flamingo52 Posted May 26, 2013 #128 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Blue Skyfall in Crooners was wonderful! Very relaxing and just a pretty drink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted May 27, 2013 #129 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I saw this question on the Royal Caribbean board and wanted to ask the same thing over here. The RCI thread is giving me lots of ideas for what to order on my next Jewel of the Seas cruise, but it doesn't help me much with my upcoming Caribbean Princess cruise unless both cruise lines serve the exact same concoctions with the same names. I'm not talking beer or wine, but that special mixed drink that you just can't wait to order once on board. On my Star Princess cruise I discovered the Bahama Mama which was delicious, but I'd like to know what else is out there that you like. Love the frozen polar bear or similar name. Definitely an after dinner drink as it is rich, creamy, delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldesq Posted May 27, 2013 #130 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I just found this site with drink recipes: aaronscruisechatter dot com Tons of cruise drink recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted May 27, 2013 #131 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm with you. Love my Dr. No martinis!!! My other favorite is the Chairman of the Board which I was introduced to in the elite lounge one night and it has been a long lasting relationship ever since!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted May 27, 2013 #132 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Never had this? But since we both love the Chairman of the Board and Bloody Mary, perhaps I will try this on my next cruise. Can you perchance let me know what the ingredients are? Never mind, found it later in the thread. I love my deck of cards. When I am bored I shuffle through it and find something new to try!

FawnRiver Posted May 27, 2013 #133 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have the Crooners cards too:D! They help while away the time between cruises. My favorite Martini is the Hacienda. For the other mixed drinks, I love the Ultimate Cooler and on the last cruise, I started drinking Moscow Mules in the Wheelhouse bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westendgirl Posted May 27, 2013 #134 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Right now my favorite is Chairman of the Board. I've even managed to (almost) replicate it at home: 1.5 oz, each, top shelf vodka & gin, .5 oz. Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Shaken, not stirred. But the best adult beverage I ever had was on the old Tahitian Princess: a Tahitini. It was a martini with tropical flavors (but not too sweet) and the glass was rimmed with fresh coconut. Have never seen it offered before or since - and believe me, I have asked. Cheers everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiLvrs Posted May 27, 2013 #135 Share Posted May 27, 2013 1.5 oz, each, top shelf vodka & gin, .5 oz. Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Shaken, not stirred. But you'll bruise the gin :D There was a magazine article a while back that explained why "James" always ordered his that way. Are you a 00 :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted May 27, 2013 #136 Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's right. It is as tragedy:eek: when the liquor gets bruised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikiss Posted May 28, 2013 #137 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I fell in love with the Dune Martini in Crooners while on the CB Back in 2010. By the end of 2 weeks our regular waiter would just say the Usual today, even remembered our surname and room No. It's touches like that that make a hols. Anyway we were on the Grand last Sept and the first place i headed for was the Crooner they have there. First question "can you make me a Dune's martini" yes was the reply so straight after dinner that was the place we headed for. Didn't doubt it but wanted to be sure. The waiter remembered me and only asked what Hubby wanted. I asked Princess for the recipe so i make it at home, i also managed to get a pack of the Tee Many Martoonie cards of Ebay so i'm sorted for what ever takes my fancy. In the Dune's Malibu, Vodka, Melen Liquor, Banana Liquor and Sweet and Sour. Hmmm delish...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator582 Posted May 28, 2013 #138 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Such excellent ideas. I will have to start making a list. The Moscow Mule sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjslc Posted May 28, 2013 #139 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My favorite is definitely the Beverly Hills Ice Tea!!! But on a cold day I can just about always go for a "spiked" coffee like the Nutty Irishman. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner22aa Posted May 29, 2013 #140 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Ice cold and hopefully plentiful! Girly drinks are not for men! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator582 Posted May 30, 2013 #141 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I like girlie drinks sometimes, but give me a good gin martini, light vermouth, straight up, hopefully with blue cheese or anchovy olives, and I am very happy. BTW, what gins do they normally carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieartist Posted August 16, 2013 #150 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nothing better than an XXdry Grey Goose martini up with a lemon twist at Crooners. My son loves the SkyFall martini...I didn't taste it but it is the most gorgeous color blue! After dinner.....a chocolate martini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
