Altonia Posted December 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Anyone know who won the competition to create and name a cocktail for the new bar on the Dream. I have checked both Thomson FB page as well as the closed FB page as well as posts on here and can't see any mention of a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfieldtourist Posted December 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The winner for this will be announced very soon and a winner has been selected by a panel which includes people from Apollo Group and an independent mixologist - I understand the formal announcement will be early 2016.

Pensioncruiser Posted December 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Very strange though 2 Intense & Heart & Soul play the same? Keith used to be in delo but of course we haven't been since the refurb sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted December 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Many thanks for the replies and a very Happy Christmas to you all I'm confused too pensionercruiser TooIntense went home in May and werent due back they said for the winter season. The only people who will know for defo are those who've just come back from the Transatlantic cruise. I've never seen Heart and Soul - seen Keith of course - he was on for the last few winter seasons and did the summer on Celebration. Not sure if the band is called Sound Room? if so never seen them either. Of course if the band don't have drum pads like Bong from Strumjam they won't be able to play on deck 10 -shame Is it just one man and a steel drum?

Pensioncruiser Posted December 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Merry Christmas to you Vitalsign, and everyone, we must have been on the Dream the same time as you, but heart and soul have split up as we saw heart and mind on Celebration in September which included one half!! very complicated. Still think 2 Intense are the best duo we have seen in all the years we have been cruising IMO & sad I know but we have all there cd's and our grandchildren love them😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently in the new Water's Edge. They left the Dream in July 2015 to return for Maris' daughter's 18th birthday & returned for the Transatlantic in December.

Vitalsign Posted December 25, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Many thanks pension cruiser you're right about heart and soul being heart and mind now as we saw them on Celebration in September. So pleased Maris and Tom are back on the Dream cos they told us they thought they would be on the Celebration when we left them in Palma in May. As you say they are brilliant and they must be cos hubby is a musician and he bought their CDs too and we play them regularly at home. Thanks jules for your reply too I suppose they are playing in Waters Edge due to the refit and moving the casino to make way for cabins but surprised they're not in Tides or has that disappeared? Still would love to know the name of the band Any answers out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitalsign Posted December 27, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 27, 2015 PS when talking about deck 10 I meant at the back of the ship not the middle where the band can't set up a drum kit so use electronic pads:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfieldtourist Posted December 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yes I can agree Soundroom - mainly in the Medusa 2 Intense - mainly in the Water's Edge Keith Kerslake - mainly in Water's Edge Heart and Soul - mainly in Tides David Morgan - mainly Deck 10 aft. The Ents Manager occasionally rotates where they play but this is how it is most of the time !! Sorry for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfieldtourist Posted January 14, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The winner was "Indian Summer" This is a long gin and elderflower refresher and won the votes in the shortlisting. After the taste test, Thomson and moreover the mixologist plus Apollo refined this creation with a slosh of apple schnapps and by swapping the lemon for lime that just took the edge off a heavy gin base. You will be able to get this on the Dream this summer !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then added the bits that were missing. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
