EdgarBox Posted August 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi everyone Just a quick question. In the dining room [britannia], at lunch and dinner, is wine the only drink available? or can we ask the waiter for a drink from the bar drinks menu, eg gin and tonic, or even a beer, to have with our meal? thanks in advance Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CABINET Posted August 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I believe they will get you any drink you want however, in my experience, it can take some time for the sommelier to get to your table. Because of this we always take a drink in with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balf Posted August 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2014 A pint of draught beer at table in the MD, why not. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted August 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) A pint of draught beer at table in the MD, why not. DavidIsn't the rule; pale ale with fish, brown ale with meat? (;)) (I enjoy a pint in the Golden Lion with lunch, or iced water with dinner (if I don't doesn't care for wine that night), and maybe a spirit-based drink, or something after dinner (eg scotch or cognac etc). I have seen a few passengers take a half-consumed glass of wine from the Chart Room into the Britannia Restaurant, and can see nothing wrong with that. Some are happy to make one glass of wine last a while, and not drink too much, why not. Others have a cocktail or three in the bar and then wine with dinner).

Summergee Posted August 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2014 One of our table companions ordered cider and didn't have to wait too long for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seguros Posted August 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2014 On the first night, I ask the wine steward to have my Manhattan on the table every night. Saves everyone a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadOfToadHall Posted August 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I tend to drink mainly beer at dinner. A couple of cruises ago the sommelier would have a bottle of Grolsh in an ice bucket waiting for me ! And on our first cruise I drank a lot of Boddingtons. As I finished one the sommelier would arrive with another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
