wahooker Posted March 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Last March, my wife and I went on a RC Cruise and got the drink package - I had planned on trying a lot of new stuff, but at home I generally stick to the same old thing. The challenge I ran into was that none of the bars on board had any kind of list of drinks/menu. I don't know if they had just changed them out or something, but It's hard to order something new if you don't have an idea what is available. To prep for our upcoming cruise this sunday, I went to look for a list, but the best I could find is this post from early 2015 which was made just a few weeks before we sailed last year. Are the drinks on this list still things I could order, without the bartender looking at me like I'm an idiot? I'm sure the prices have changed, but I don't really care about that cause I'll have a drink package. Alternatively, does Freedom OTS have drink menus now? If so, then I don't have to worry about bringing my own list. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully most of these will still be around later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted March 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I seem to recall seeing drink menus in the bars for our Freedom B2B cruises we did last October but don't have shots of that. Here's the drink menu from the Music Hall from our recent Anthem cruise. If you want me to send you the higher resolution shots email me at robtulipe-atcc@yahoo.ca Edited March 23, 2016 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2016 There was a time not long ago when drink menus were hard to come by. However, on our last few cruises on Enchantment, Vision, and Brilliance, I've seen drink menus in every venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully most of these will still be around later this year. Thanks for the list! Every time I swear I'm going to take good notes in case I don't buy a package next time but I fall short. Going to try again on this next cruise. :D I've even thought of some regular cocktails that friends order but I've never tried (ex. Vodka Tonic). I figure Premium Pkg time is the perfect opportunity in case I don't care for them. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last cruise one of the bartenders introduced me to an espresso martini........delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If all else fails...just tell them what kind of booze you want, and have them surprise you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdlmc Posted March 23, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The one drink I see mentioned quite frequently on questions like this is BBC Bailey's Banana Colada which is no longer available on Freedom of the Seas - at least it wasn't last month. I asked at several bars and they told me they no longer carry the banana puree that is needed to make it. Guess they can't throw a banana in the blender :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memparrot Posted March 23, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Awesome list! I am concerning getting the drink package and I think this might have made up my mind. So many drink to try, so little time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweese Posted March 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is this a list of cocktails provided from Royal ? Looks quite extensive . My experience at cruise line bars is there is a group of drinks that they make and it is rather small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeBCruisin Posted March 25, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I can't start a cruise without a BBC. Hope they reconsider their decision not to carry the ingredients. A cc member that is currently on the Allure just verified that that they were making BBC's on the Allure today. This made me very happy as I'm sailing on the Allure in June.

ParRoo Posted March 25, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I was on the Jewel last week and we had several BBC's. Most bars had menus, but each bars menu was based on a different theme. That being said, we were still able to get whatever we wanted at each of the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
