Whitecourt Posted August 20, 2018 #26 Share Posted August 20, 2018 England and Wales have smaller measures than we have in Scotland 25ml to our 35ml single measure. Not sure about your Canada saying tiny drinks. I find that just not true. Fake news lol. But I live in Alberta, and cowboys and oiled workers like their portions man size.

I believe airplane bottles are 50 ml. I usually have a double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillPizzaiolo Posted August 21, 2018 #31 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Don't you also find that both the glasses and the dinner plates that we all use at home are much bigger theses days? I have some wine glasses that belonged to my parents and they look positively tiny compared to the ones I use now. Returning to Happy Hour, if I order a Big O Martini during HH it comes in a special glass, which I think is a bit bigger, but one time when I ordered one after returning late from an excursion and outside of HH not only did I get the martini glass but the waitress left the cocktail shaker too, which contained yet more Big O Martini! I don't know if this usually happens or whether she thought I needed it!! I also wondered if they were trying to promote the cocktail shakers which are for sale. Anyone else had the shaker and glass combo served? I'm looking forward to a Martini tasting session on my next cruise. A girl has to keep up with current trends, don't you think? Maybe that's why so many of us are over our normal BMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy from MV Posted August 26, 2018 #33 Share Posted August 26, 2018 On the Marina recently we were told by the server that the HH drinks were 1 1/2 size. Still better than one regular I guess. Also what is the Big 0 martini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji484][emoji484] You may or may not get 2 for 1 Martinis see exclusions to HH at the bottom left Now you may get a bartender that will ignore the rules & maybe not If you have the Prestige package it is a moot point you can have as many as you like ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosoxI Posted August 30, 2018 #47 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have often wondered what authority monitors liquor on cruise ships. Once at sea anything can occur, of course, but in port does anyone board to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
