Sloop-JohnB Posted December 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I have been searching but did not find it - are frozen white Russians included in the classic beverage package? I could not find a list with info about any frozen drinks... Thank you When it comes to Cocktails... You will not find a list (cause there would literally be 1000s of variations) On the Classic Alcohol Pkg, it is more about the Brand Name of the Alcohol, and the amount. Single Pours are all on the Classic. Drinks with Multiple Pours of Spirits in them are on the Premium Pkg. Celebrity Official Beverage Pkg Lists (as of May 28, 2014) = http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2048745 As for Frozen White Russians... Cannot say I've seen these on a Menu per se (although I had an excellent Frozen Pyrat Alexander with Oasis Ice Cream Mix in the Passport Bar on The Solstice 2012). That was covered under the Premium Pkg When it comes to Frozen Cocktails, Celebrity does not offer these at all Bars. Each Bar rather has a list of its Signature Drinks (such as the Pyrat Alexander I mentioned above) Have seen Frozen / Ice Slushie / Ice Cream type Cocktails at the outdoor Bars on both M & S Class Ships... And most often one of the Drinks of the Day is an Exotic Frozen Concoction on Caribbean Sailings. Some are covered by Celebrity's Bevvy Pkgs (depends on price*) and some are not * Pricing Maxs for Cocktails is $ 8 for the Classic Alcohol and $ 13 for the Premium. If you surpass that on the Classic you are charged the whole freight (Drink & Grat) on your SeaPass Card... On the Premium just the difference between it's cost & the Max Pour Cost (plus the Grat difference as well) Hope this helps, Cheers!

betmust Posted December 12, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted December 12, 2014 What is in a frozen White Russian that makes it frozen? Generally blended with ice - some places will use ice cream.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted December 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Generally blended with ice - some places will use ice cream.... I don't think they stock ice cream at the bar but I don't think it would be a problem if you ask them to blend it with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerc Posted December 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Many of the bars that do blended drinks also have an ice cream mix (pourable, from a carton) that can be used to make some drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguys2009 Posted December 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2014 We just came off the 11 Night Equinox and the new SLUSH Bar located at the Pool is amazing! The drinks were included with our package, but we upgraded to the Premium Package (Only $256.00 for two people total). There was a generous amount of alcohol in the cocktails from SLUSH and the menu is amazing. Loved the Oreo Cookie one the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Ice Cream Mix" is the Oasis Stuff that I referenced in my Reply #2 above. I think. Most of Celebrity's Bars have an Oasis Machine (GIANT Blender that crushes ice, and when mix is added makes a frozen cocktail (ie Oasis Carton Mix... Colada / Dacquiri / Margueritta Mix). If the bar has the Cartons of Ice Cream Mix then that is a different frozen concoction vs a Slushy styled one. On The Solstice (2012) for our Eastern Caribbean Cruise... we only saw Ice Cream Mix at the Passport Bar, where they made their Signature Pyrat Alexander (OMGosh cannot tell you all in words how amazing this drink was...) Never saw any Oasis Ice Cream Mix on The Summit... But then again this Southern Caribbean Cruise had a very different vibe vs our first one as it was more Port Intensive... And we found ourselves not as Loyal to just one Bar As for the SLUSH BAR... This is a new venue for Celebrity... So just beginning to roll out across The Fleet. Believe that Equinox is the first to have her, and maybe the ONLY ONE at this point in time. Have read that it could be added to other Ships as they go about adding the NEW Suite Class DR come April Cheers!

Algebralovr Posted December 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Slush was added to Equinox when she went in for her dry dock and updates last spring. Some of the updates included Slush and GastroBar. I can't imagine where they are going to fit the new Suite dining room - maybe just a section of the MDR to start?

Thanks ALGEBRALOVR Knew Equinox had had a Dry Dock that gave her some of the newer venues (Slush & GastroBar) just was not clear when that was. As for the new Suites Class DR... Indeed the rumour is that it will space yet again carved out of the MDR. I can see where the MDR is going to end up just one floor on some of the Ships, be that with closed walls up above (like Blu) or open (like Select). Guessing that come the newly announced "Edge Ships" we will see a whole different Dining arrangement on Celebrity... Perhaps a whole lot if smaller venues (like RCCLs Quantum Class) vs the visual elegance of a huge 2 Storey Dining Room Have to admit that saddens me :( I've always found Celebrity's MDR to be one of the most beautiful impressive spots on the whole ship... Going hand in hand with the idea that on Celebrity Dining is an Extraordinary Experience (nothing like you would experience at home, or even in a local Restaurant... Truly apart from the day to day) Cheers! Edited December 12, 2014 by Sloop-JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said therein, the determination for which Pkg is made based on the Brand Name of the Alcohol, and the Quantity (Classic = Single Standard Pours only, no doubles... And in most cases no more than one type of Alcohol in the drink) Cheers! Edited December 13, 2014 by Sloop-JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keishashadow Posted December 14, 2014 #19 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hoping to enjoy a bloody mary with buffet breakfast in morning before heading ashore on days we'll just be flopping on beach. Is there a bar or drink service in buffet in the am? if not, where would be my best option to indulge as it appears pool bar isn't open until 9 am.

Is there a bar or drink service in buffet in the am? if not, where would be my best option to indulge as it appears pool bar isn't open until 9 am. YES The Buffet areas have a Bar, one inside, and one outside on the back deck. Bloody Mary's & Bloody Caesars (a fave for us Canadians) are very popular in the AM... Available in several venues for Breakfast (Oceanview Buffet - Blu - MDR - and Michaels Club... For Suite Guests etc) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
