onefishtwofish Posted July 3, 2014 #55 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I love a good Cosmo.But every time I have ordered the Carnival Cosmo, I have been blown away by how crazy strong they make it! Whew! Definitely get my money's worth! Sent from my iPhone 5 using Cruise Critic App Agree!:D Went on Breeze last year and they were definitely worth it!!

Cruise, J.D. Posted July 3, 2014 #56 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I thought tips were automatically taken out on your bar tab bill? There is an auto 15% tip added to the drink price, but you can always tip extra on the receipt or in cash. Sometimes an extra tip can lead to much better service.

dwightnwynonia Posted July 4, 2014 #60 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The Tiramisu Martini was my favorite...nothing but alcohol and it was delicious! That was my drink of choice for my cruise. I discovered these on our last cruise now I have these with dinner and long island teas in the evening ( have to make full use of the cheers program ) Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsfabo Posted July 4, 2014 #61 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I get double shots of premium vodka chase with water does the trick then get a fruity drink put a shot in that definitely helps. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarie1623 Posted July 4, 2014 #62 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I had a Mai Tai on the Pride it was strong. Not sure if its always made that way, but it had me going after a few sips. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frayedend Posted July 4, 2014 #63 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Stay away from the Long Islands on the last night. Take my word on this. I did a double Jack and Coke and realized they charged twice the price so it was like $16. I switched to Long Islands and it was not a fun trip home. FWIW, they usually put too much sour mix and not enough of a splash of coke so it can be very sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetta8300 Posted July 5, 2014 #65 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) I tried probably 10 martinis on board, and they were all STRONG. Some were made even too strong to drink, they were pretty gross. But I think one called the Pom-tini was my favorite. The Pomagranite juice covered up the vodka nicely, and it was sweet without being sickening like some of the DOD's. The cosmo one was great also, but that one tasted much stronger than the pom, and the pom had the same amount of vodka.

winddawn Posted July 11, 2014 #66 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Try the Martini tasting. You get four mini martinis for less than the cost of two regular drinks, but with more alcohol. What kind of martinis do they give you for the 4? Can you pick the ones you want to try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted July 11, 2014 #67 Share Posted July 11, 2014 What kind of martinis do they give you for the 4? Can you pick the ones you want to try? Yes, you select the four you'd like from a provided list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcearth Posted July 11, 2014 #68 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Another vote for the Long Island Ice Tea.... Strong drink...PLUS it is a classic cocktail so if you ask for your receipt you get a 5.00 match play coupon at the casino cage.. .so if you play any table games in the casino, take the receipt for the drink to the cage and get the coupon and put your money PLUS the 5.00 match play down and its like free money to use in the casino... so the 9.00 drink is actually on 4 bucks... Thats how my math works anyway..:D Check your math - the match play is only worth $5 if you win the bet, so the actual value is closer to around $2.40 (you will win an even money bet slightly less than 50% of the time), but still better than nothing.

wantocruisemore Posted July 11, 2014 #70 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Does Carnival have B-52's? Are those a mixed aperitif? If so, I seem to remember having one in their Carnival shot glasses. I came home with 10 of those glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti2m Posted July 11, 2014 #71 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Are those a mixed aperitif? If so, I seem to remember having one in their Carnival shot glasses. I came home with 10 of those glasses. Not sure. I read about them on another board. This is the recipe: The B-52 (also B52 or Bifi) cocktail is a layered shot composed of a coffee liqueur , an Irish cream (Baileys Irish Cream), and a triple sec (Grand Marnier).

Shimmy86 Posted July 19, 2014 #72 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Long Islands and Tokyo Teas. A Tokyo Tea is something I've only ever gotten on Carnival. They introduced me to it and everyone else everywhere I go seems confused be it. It has a lot of alcohols like the Long Island The big difference is I think Midori. Turns the whole drink green. Anytime I get it on the ship, people are always asking what it is. Pretty tasty and very strong. Slightly stronger than a Long Island. Tokyo Tea! I'm from NY & they were popular in the West Village a few years ago, it's a Long Island with sprite instead of coke & Midori floated on top Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17andacruiseaddict Posted July 19, 2014 #73 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I love those. I live in Chicago and every bar that I have asked for one in, the bartender looks at me like I have 5 heads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that you exchange your "classic cocktail" receipt for your match play ticket at the casino cage on the same day you bought the drink. Once you have your ticket, you can use it any day.
