bobbie0253 Posted March 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2016 My fav cruise drink is a Cosmopolitan ... I think it's part the taste and a lot about the glass. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Vodka tonic....light and refreshing. I'm not into the "sweet, fruity" drinks...I don't like to mix my booze...so I pick one and stick with it! I dance with the one who brung me!!!!

bobbie0253 Posted March 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2016 One more thought. As a general statement the bartenders in Schooner bar have been the best we encounter on most ships. When we are ordering at a bar ( instead or a show or the pool deck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akcruz Posted March 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2016 During a warm afternoon the frozen lemonade, especially sitting on the balcony watching the swap roll on by. Later in the evening one of my favorites on Royal is the torched cherry sangria. Of course the usual suspects are always there appletinis, cosmos, etc. Lots of great choices.

jtdlmc Posted March 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Blue Hawaiian (frozen), California Cooler, mudslide and frozen Mai Tia were my favs. I found out about Coconut Mojito the last day but didn't get to try it as the ship ran out of coconut milk! Lots of people recommend the BBM (Baileys banana mama, I think) but Freedom was also out of banana purée. kind of disappointing that they ran out of these things, especially after having purchased a drink package, but I did get to try lots of different drinks. On the last day I had to go to track down bars to find ones that still had all the makings for the drinks I wanted [emoji848] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrock Posted March 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bahama mama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ1012 Posted March 8, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Flavored vodka with Sprite. Lemon Drops. Root beer and Captain Morgan Rum. Bahama Mamas. Malibu and Sprite is pretty good too. There is a group of us that get together for cards now and then. Since we all have kiddos we have learned to make do with what's on hand for our Mom's Card Nights. There is always soda and/or juice to be found in a household with kids! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigbound Posted March 8, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I looked it up and I doubt a $22,000 bottle of cognac is included in the drink package ;-) Well, that XIII is a special release. I'm just looking for the $2400 a bottle 'swill' at $75 an ounce... Edited March 8, 2016 by Brigbound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPacificbound Posted March 8, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 8, 2016 For refreshing, lemon, lime & bitters. For yummy mudslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted March 8, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Got off a ship this morning. We don't usually buy alcohol to bring home. We just don't drink enough to justify the hassle. Well I am sitting here sipping " ship Absolut" and cranberry. Feels like I brought some of the cruise home with me. I might have to extend the vacation like this more often. Enjoying this thread because we will be doing a drink package in April and I need new drinks to try too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my go to drink on our cruise on the Navigator in January. For a mixed drink, bourbon with a splash of ginger ale. I was pleased to see that they had Makers Mark and Woodford Reserve on the Navigator. Not my #1 bourbon but solid choices. My wife and our friends liked the frozen mojitos.

Cabansail Posted March 8, 2016 #19 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The in room Alcohol IV Drip is a good option. You can just lay back on the bed or balcony and don't even have to lift a hand. Start it at 10 and you will be legless by lunchtime. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flafun888 Posted March 8, 2016 #23 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Anyone ever have a Chi Chi or a Rock Lobster? We were looking up favorite blended drinks in prep for our cruise and I came across these two that sounded intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegalfl Posted March 8, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Mudslide really good and great for breakfast. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBCruisin Posted March 8, 2016 #25 Share Posted March 8, 2016 BBC - it's our sail away tradition! Also recommend - Coco Loco (aka Labadoozie - when you're at Labadee) Dark and Stormy Moscow Mule - my current go to drink - VERY refreshing!! I've heard great things about he Sweet & Spicy Margarita at Sabor's - cant wait to try in on the Allure in June!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
