Sake in Red Ginger

[AllPointsSouth]

Does anyone know if Sake is included in the beverage packages. On our cruise two years ago it wasn't included. Oceania's blog has a nice review on Red Ginger and Sake. It's making me hungry - and thirsty!!!!

On our cruise last year it wasn't included. I don't think that anything has changed.

Sake in Red Ginger is not included in any of the Beverage Packages , and the Sake service is one area where Red Ginger could be drastically improved.

 

Red Ginger serves several varieties of Sake, some of them very good names, but they just can't seem to get it right.

We can concur that sake is not included in the beverages packages in Red Ginger, and it really put us off.

Thanks for confirming! I will survive with wine/beer. Jimmy

Betsy ordered Saki in Red Ginger and several of us tried it. At least two if us had the same instantaneous reaction --Kerosene! I'll never try it again.

No, ouzo tastes like licorice. Retsina can taste like turpentine. I personally like sake.

I tried a flight of hot sake- it DOES taste like kerosine! And it went from bad to worse. I prefer unfiltered cold sake- it's milky white in color, and chilled is much better tasting. Maybe they should offer Snake in Red Ginger- it tastes like chicken!

[hondorner]

Huh -- my daddy always told me that chicken tastes like snake, but with wings and drumsticks. That made me always want to try snake...;)

 

Wendy, I always figured Retsina is just a furrin' word for resin, which is where we get turpentine.
