Best value bar drink ?

Recommended Posts

I only drink if I am by myself or with somebody. So if that happens on our cruise, I will get a drink from the bar. What drink do you get the most bang for the buck? Is it a bucket of beer, pitcher of beer, dod, short glass or tall glass. What drink is the best value. I know mixing your own back in your cabin is the cheapest. I may want something different from a bar. Thanks

LOL. I am even more discerning than that...... I only drink on days that end in "y". I will never drink tomorrow. Just make friends with a bartender and ask them what drink is the most bang for the buck. Have a great cruise.

Yep, and it cured my (mild) seasickness (or might have been the eggs benedict?) Either way, the Fosters cured it. :D

Pitchers figure out to a pretty good deal about $3 or so a beer , but thats a lot of beer for one person before it gets warm. Works better if there is a few of you trading off buying.

I think the Cosmos or martinis are the best "bang!" On our Freedom cruise a couple weeks ago, each night at the casino bar the offered $1.00 off their featured drinks. The offerings were: martinis, cosmos, mojitos, sangria.....

Was wondering what alcohol % is the fosters?

 

Canadian here wondering also what beer it compares to for canadian beers?

 

Thanks

 

Their web site says 4.9% abv, I thought it was higher, as far as canadian beers go I think it tastes like bador(sp) which is 6.2 % I think

Stick with beer or wine. Seems like they get away with serving DOD's that have no rum, tequila, vodka, etc. in it. EXCEPT for the drinks served at the past guest parties - those took me for surprise - was not expecting drinks that suddenly had alcohol in them, especially free drinks. I figure I'll save money the next cruise by just purchasing a bottle of rum from Bon Voyage.

Not rubbing it in, but when I see what you pay for drinks on a cruise, I'm glad I quit when I was a teenager! I'm tempted to rig up a distillery in my cabin and go into business with a cruise bootlegging business.

If you are looking for the MOST drink for your money - I would also recommend the Martini tasting. $15.00 (or so) per person and should get you well on your way!

 

I went to this on the Glory and was very dissappointed. The bartender told me that almost all of the martinis were made with sugar syrup and were very sweet, including the one made with pepper vodka!

 

I'll take a regular cosmo straight up anytime compared to the vodka tasting martinis an have found that if you have a good bartender, they are pretty strong~~~
