Hmmmmm....let's not take this too far folks....it'll be Jacques Pepin Signature Mushy Peas if we're not too careful :D

 

It's a slippery slope :p

You can get mushy peas in the Terrace with the fish n chips ...not sure if they were Jacques Pepin ;)

 

Ok fish n chips mushy peas & malt vinegar with Ginger beer to wash it down

 

cannot wait LOL

Sounds similar to "Vernors" ginger ale, a popular brand in the midwest U.S. and available nationally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernor%27s_Ginger_Ale

Perfect :D:D.

Well we embark on the Riviera next Monday so will report back if we have managed to get any Ginger Beer on board.

 

Thanks Mr. FDR for your response.

All this talk about Ginger Beer and not a single mention of

[Hambagahle]

When we lived in Africa my mother brewed - yes, brewed! - ginger beer. It does ferment. But had no alcohol. It was yummy. And when I was on the mariner last year and we left Bermuda I asked for a "Dark and Stormy" at the Observation lounge - and got one! Well, not one ... I had two and so did Ken.

 

Ginger beer is seriously good stuff. Mushy peas? I don't think so!! Maybe FDR can get us haggis though... (just joking, Mr. Del Rio!! I am probably the only person who will eat haggis for breakfast!)

[canuck.qc]

What about Spruce Beer for your neighbors from the north.

A Dark and Stormy should be made with the non-alcoholic version though, but I'm sure personal tastes may vary :)

 

Only made with Goslins rum. And garnished with a wedge of lime, squeezed! YUMMY!:D

Not the same at all. Spruce beer is yuck compared to ginger beer. A proper and tasty shandy is 2/3 beer and 1/3 ginger beer. Or half and half. Most refreshing!

Not really. I remember Vernor's, not like ginger beer really.

Goslings? Like the makers of Black Seal:confused:

You would be surprised at what FDR can accomplish.....

A number of years ago, we sailed the Insignia's inaugural year to Norway, by way of Scotland. While we were in Scottish waters, a Robbie Burns dinner was presented, and a true haggis was served! :cool:

[Lady Meer]

A couple of years ago on Regatta we joked with some friends from the US about 'spotted dick' pudding. A week later the pastry chef made it for us after downloading the recipe - how's that for service :D:D.

Well I said I would report back re Ginger Beer on board Riviera on our recent cruise. Sorry but it was not stocked in the Waves bar, but I did mention to the General Manager about my reply from Mr. FDR. and guess what the following day the Housekeeper knocked on our stateroom door with six cans of Ginger Beer and said if I would like to phone her she would get the stewardess to replace them.

This is what I call Customer Service, and a BIG THANK YOU :D:D to Oceania.

 

Also I would like to thank Dominique Nicolle, General Manager for his commitment to finding this in Key West, such a great guy and an asset to Oceania.

 

Lets see if I still have any cans left on our next cruise on Riviera on the 15th May, 2013.

 

Again many thanks.

Inquiring minds want to know: What brand?

[weluvcruisin']

"Hope you get your Ginger Beer. Thinking of you I'll ask for a Moscow Mule on my next cruise this summer."

 

 

A Moscow Mule, now that brings back memories...it been a long time since we've had one of those...

Now that sounds good, except maybe the mushy peas

[LEESRE]

I think it was Barritts Old Jamaica Ginger Beer not heard of this before but it was real good.:cool::cool:

My husband and I were on the Riviera January 23rd-February2nd. We did fill out mid cruise comment cards and end cruise cards.

 

Do these cards get looked at and does the cruise line respond?

 

Thanking you in advance,

I know the mid cruise cards will get a response if you have a problem that you noted on the card

 

Not sure if they respond to other comments but I bet they are ALL read ;)

For those that might be interested I have posted a short review of our cruise on 18th March, 2013. Just look at reviews.

We were on a Grand Voyage - essentially a BTB. We filled out cards both times and although we were very happy with the cruise, on each one we had a niggle. Both times we were contacted by the person in charge and a satisfactory solution proposed or given. We were very impressed. Yes, they do pay attention!

I agree

Any complaints are acted on

 

If you do have a problem onboard do not wait for the comment cards ..speak to the person in charge at the time of the incident & it will be taken care of

Bringing this post to the surface again, We sail on Riviera on 22nd May 2014 it will be interesting to see if Ginger Beer will be supplied.

 

Last year, 2013, it was supplied on all our Riviera cruises, but not in the bars but put into our cabin fridge.

 

We live in hope. LOL!!!:confused:

Hope you have requested it for your consumption,prior to your cruise, as most Americans don't drink Ginger Beer so it is not normally stocked. Good luck.
