Avril Posted December 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I read about this drink here on the HAL boards a few times and it sounds really yummy (I like strong drinks)!! I've been really looking forward to trying it on my upcoming cruise. I have the SPB so I'm going to try as many new (to me at least) drinks as I can. :D However, I was just reading a review here on CC where the poster said that they no longer serve/are not allowed to serve that drink (maybe someone got too drunk with it and did something stupid?) onboard anymore. :( Is that true? I've been looking forward to trying it and would be really disappointed if I couldn't (not that it would ruin the cruise of course). I'm sailing on the Eurodam for New Years in that makes a difference. Thanks!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie68 Posted December 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2014 According to POA1 on his recent thread, Wang Wangs are definitely still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaBnana Posted December 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm currently on the Zuiderdam and they are serving Wang Wangs. Not on the menu bug they will happily make one for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igraf Posted December 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) You probably mean the Weng Weng cocktail: http://www.drinkswap.com/weng-weng.htm This drink appears to have a single purpose and that is to get someone drunk quickly. Not really what I want to see happening on my next cruise. Not sure you would think that this would taste great. It would be more like mixing the contents of my refrigerator together and calling it dinner. igraf I read about this drink here on the HAL boards a few times and it sounds really yummy (I like strong drinks)!!

IndyDenise Posted December 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Um, the one ( or three ) I had were stronger than that recipe. Each alcohol was probably a 2 oz pour in itself. Believe me I'm not proud of the fact that I can drink like a fish but those Wang Wangs kicked my butt. That's saying a lot.

Avril Posted December 15, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks everyone!! :D Good to hear they're still around. 2oz isn't that much (for me). I usually drink Long Island Iced Teas on a cruise. :D Not sure how much booze is in those but I know it's quite a bit. Maybe it was just that particular ship that the person was on in the review I was reading that they're no longer allowed. I think it was the Westerdam.

Assateague Island Princes Posted December 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 15, 2014 They are delicious! But they do sneak up on you. One at a time was plenty for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sppunk Posted December 16, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have two a night every night on board. They can be great, but vary on the bartender. Several posters have said Westerdam has banned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sppunk Posted December 16, 2014 #20 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Wonder why Westerdam would have banned them? :confused:LuLu "An onboard incident" was cited as the reason by two different posters (on different voyages). Which is absurd because they'll still sell you long islands, shots, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted December 16, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) A friend introduced me to a Seven Seas Aviation on HAL but they have since taken it off the cocktail menu. Luckily some of the bartenders knew how to make it and the were happy to mix them up on our last HAL cruise (Eurodam) I tried a Wang Wang and it was so-so.

Rare POA1 Posted December 16, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 16, 2014 According to POA1 on his recent thread, Wang Wangs are definitely still available. I'm not sure why they wouldn't serve them. While the drink is 2 oz of liquor, about half of it is low proof liqueur. We had no problem getting one on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudscraper Posted December 16, 2014 #24 Share Posted December 16, 2014 IMO the reason the Wang Wangs can become a strong drink is because the bartender has difficulty pouring 1/4 oz. portions of eight different liquors. The pours become larger and the Wang Wang is actually more potent than it's ingredients call for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
