Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 6, 2016 #51 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I have been living out by drinking the drinks seen in my favourite James Bond movies and I do mean the real James Bond movies not the modern garbage when daniel craig came along and they stuffed up the whole series. Though in reality I prefer drinks like sherry, whiskey or port (all the old folk drinks with a high enough alcohol content to enjoy it with as little drink as possible). Yes, I know the Bond movies you mean. Good sherries and ports are very nice indeed, although DH tends to drink them more than I do. There are some interesting Australian ones these days too. We made the "mistake" of spending a week in Rutherglen one year. Oops! The poor car was groaning all the way back to Sydney - too many cases of wine, mostly durifs and fortifieds. Whisky I have to be careful of. I can still handle a very smooth single malt but a lot of whiskys trigger my reflux problem. Had fun on the Royal Scotman a few years ago. They had 50 single malts on board, all inclusive. :eek: No, I didn't try them all, but I did find some I liked. I also like some of the French and Italian aperitifs, like Noilly Prat and Aperol. Also the Italian digestives, like Amaro. I'm still having fun trying the different cocktails on Princess. So many variations on a theme. :D Now, if you like Bond then you should be trying the Bond cocktails they have onboard. Some are "interesting". ;) Edited September 6, 2016 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of references to Dom Perignon in James Bond. Dr No: Dr. No: That's a Dom Perignon '55, it would be a pity to break itJames Bond: I prefer the '53 myself... Goldfinger: "My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!" It comes up in several other movies as well as Bollinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 6, 2016 #55 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yes, but since I can't drink champagne very often it's irrelevant how many Bond films it's been in. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep1 Posted September 6, 2016 Author #56 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks guys for advice. Do like a couple coffees in mornings. Couple mimosas with breakfast. Glass wine at lunch. Afternoon cocktail at bingo. And then a glass of wine at show. Couple at dinner. Guess I have answered my question 😉 But it's not 59$ it's 64?

There is a software bug which shows incorrect pricing in the personalizer. Unless you particularly want to buy it before you board (in which case I believe Princess does reimburse the difference) just wait until you board to buy it.

Same seems to happen with the Softdrink package, last year showing as $8 and cents per day, on board $7 per day. Never been charged more for anything on board than quoted on the site, many times less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
