cruiserqueen75 Posted July 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2014 While ago saw they had Canadian whiskey (new on drink menu) included. Is this the case -- do they now include this every evening. Thank you -- deal breaker for one of my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsf Posted July 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2014 "Deal breaker" for not going on cruise? You mean your freind won't go if the free drinks don't include Canadain whiskey! Oh my, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop-JohnB Posted July 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lol, as a Canadian I so get this... Canadian Whiskey Drinkers have their standards, for some it isn't JUST their drink of choice... It is literally the ONLY alcohol they drink. Much like their "cousins" around the globe who enjoy Bourbon, Scotch or Irish Whiskey. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me (but then I am not a Rye lover by any means)... And I love Cruising too much to say it would mean a "No Go"... But I could see where someone could be upset at the inconvenience of going to get a drink elsewhere to bring into the Reception. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted July 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Just pay for it! But totally not sailing with an entire Company cause you can't get free CC? This has to be the funniest thread in over 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be the funniest thread in over 10 years. Lol, not quite... There was a similar post back in 2011 that gave many of us a good chuckle at the time As I said Whiskey Drinkers the world over can be pretty devoted to their brand (more so if Boubon, Scotch & Irish Whiskey ARE being poured side by each) Edited July 30, 2014 by Sloop-JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Daniels Single Barrel! But alas it has never been stocked on RCCL nor Celebrity. But if it was, not getting it free at a cocktail party would not be a reason to not sail on A line.

I too can understand, while not a deal breaker for us either, we enjoy a less expensive Scotch, "White Horse" - when we drink other Scotches -- not the same at all.

To upgrade to a premium package from the classic package is only $12 per day pp. That surely wouldn't stop me from going on a cruise. The "free" drinks aren't worth drinking at the captains party.

The "free" drinks aren't worth drinking at the captains party. The OP is asking about a free drink served at the Captain's Party which is held one time per cruise for less than an hour. I notice that the OP has been registered since 2009 and this is their first post. I've also noticed that they've been away since they posted. Also recall a humorous thread on the same subject in the past. Do I have a reason to be suspicious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were asking about the Elite Happy hour although they referred to it as the Captain's Club celebration. They asked: "do they include this every evening?" Obviously the Captain's welcome party isn't held every night. No biggie either way. Canadian whisky is pretty low on my list of things to drink. I'll get enough to drink. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted July 30, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2014 DH only drinks Crown Royal. He didn't have a problem getting it in the elite cocktail hour. In fact, the server would see him coming in & get the drink to him before he could sit down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeybearhollow Posted July 30, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Darn, I can't get my drink of choice on any cruise ship. I have to carry it on. It is Arbor Mist Exotic Fruits. :o They don't have a "down grade" for the drink package. I embarrass my DH, which is my favorite thing to do. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserqueen75 Posted July 31, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Am OP. Didn't think I would get laughed at -- will never post again. Just wanted to know the nightly event -- on summit - they included some type of rye whiskey (maybe known to some as Canadian). Our friend only does RC because he feels that Celebrity excludes him in this category -- they have every other type of hard liquor -- and it is not because he won't pay -- just principle and just principle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if rye is offered. I think, but might be wrong, only mixed drinks, wine and beer served. But perhaps a mixed drink does contain rye and you could ask them to "hold" the other ingredients. Do not worry about what other people say. This is how you learn. I sail on Royal also and am a Diamond member- they do offer free alcohol also- the list is much more inclusive then the Celebrity "free" drinks. However you must be an Elite member on Celebrity or Diamond member on RC to get free drinks. Now celebrity offers free drink packages very often, so you can get rye drinks. Also, you get free champagne at the so called art auctions. Edited July 31, 2014 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So honestly, did you really think you would post a question about someone not willing to take a cruise because of a drink option at a free drink event and not get some good natured ribbing?? I've seen some nasty posts on other threads that can get a bit out of hand, but this thread was pretty mild IMHO. I hope you reconsider posting again as most people really just want to be helpful.

NLH Arizona Posted July 31, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd probably cancel the cruise and not take a chance that it is not available, since it is a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be the funniest thread in over 10 years. Don't think anybody mentioned "CC" until you did. CC barely passes for whiskey at the best of times. I see mention of Crown Royal (is that the RC mentioned by others in the thread :confused: ) so we're getting somewhere now...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I agree, CC is one step above moonshine, no I take that back, moonshine is a step up from CC! You are correct, even in the best of times it barely passes. So now even more of a lame reason.:D ( RC= Royal Carribean, they pull the strings ) Edited August 2, 2014 by wallie5446 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
