TNShadyLady Posted March 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've got a DOU card waiting for me when I hit the casino on the Sunshine next weekend. Just wondering if there is a drinks menu of sorts, or what kinds of drinks are available? Other than the usual Miami Vice and Twilight Zone. I just feel like I'm missing out on some good drinks I don't know about. :p I love a good Bloody Mary, but those can be hit or miss. (Dream's were fantastic, Valor's were horrid) Not too fond of really sweet drinks, but will drink a colada now and then, maybe Fuzzy Navel, Brandy Alexander... What are your favorites? What delicious drinks are my options with the DOU card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNShadyLady Posted March 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Any drink under $10.00.Try a Moca Mudslide Ooh, yeah, I've heard about those. Sounds right up my alley. Got more suggestions? I'm making notes. :D What I really was curious about was whether there is a drinks menu or not. How will I know what drinks cost what? So if I ask for a call brand instead of bar brand, do I pay the difference, or doesn't that count as a DOU comp? And what about other things, like spiked coffee for instance? I'm just trying to be prepared and make the best of my perk. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port of Tampa Posted March 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2017 They usually have some good craft beer but two of my favorites are Grey Goose Dirty Martini and Henesy VSOP. Cheers good luck and happy cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted March 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't ever recall seeing spiked coffee at any of the bars on a ship. You can get just about any drink if they know how to make it. One that I tried that was pretty good was a Kiss on the Lips. Another is Miami Vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Wavey Posted March 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I love a good Bloody Mary, but those can be hit or miss. (Dream's were fantastic, Valor's were horrid) I found Carnival's Bloody Mary mix so salty it was like poison, and I like salt. Bartender suggested a Bloody Caesar (just "Caesar" for you Canadians). It tastes like what a Bloody Mary should be. I get 4 of those monster olives if I went straight to the casino and haven't eaten breakfast. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelocg Posted March 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Try the spicy chipolte pineapple martini or the pomegranate martini. Ask for them in a regular glass instead of a martini glass so they don't spill everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted March 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The casino bar uses the same bar menu as other "regular" bars located inside the ship (the pool bars have a bit of a different menu as far as I remember). Here's a link to the cruise critic copy of this menu. http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=813 As you can see, there are lots of choices. Also - the servers in the casino will have a copy of the bar menu in their apron. Whenever I'm indecisive, I ask to see the menu refresh my memory on some options. Personal favourites are the Hurricane Wave, white Russian, and the Tiramisu martini. My mother favours the Mocha chocolate getaway, Bahama Mama, and Pirate Punch. If I'm into some more hard-core drinking - the Cruiser does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHilla619 Posted March 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You will have full run of the bar with your DOU card, there's not a select menu. Stop by the casino bar before gambling and take a look at the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if the casino bar would be different from the rest or whether the drinks available with DOU card were from a special list or what. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Tiramisu martini?? Oh my... that's definitely going into my notes! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'll just stop by the bar first. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted March 15, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I love the Cruiser which someone mentioned. "Problem" is it's served in a red wine glass and I swear, 3/4 of it is ice. I can take 3 sips thru the straw and the drink is GONE! :eek: If you like Mojitos, I've had some good ones in the casino. I LOVE the Caribbean Colada. It is kind of a not sweet Pina Colada. But they only make it in the Red Frog Rum bar (for some reason!:() and I haven't been able to get one in the casino yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojitos are good too, but like Bloody Marys they can be wildly different depending on who's making them. :p That Caribbean Colada sounds perfect for me. I'm not fond of overly sweet drinks, but I do love a colada, so that may be my first drink order at the Red Frog on the Lido deck before sailing!

I think it was on Liberty I found a bartender who made them exactly like I like them and kept going back. The Cruiser IS a sweet drink. But it's very good. WTH, if you have a DOU card, you can experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Wavey Posted March 15, 2017 #22 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You describe it, they will make it. In Grand Turk I had the Sandy Vag**** from Jack's Shack. Asked for it in the casino and they were like WHAT?? Told them what was in it and they made it. But they started calling it a Poosay (with a French accent). You want more Poosay sir? **snicker snicker snicker** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
