Rare cruisestitch Posted December 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2018 What do you like? Rum, vodka, gin, bourbon, brandy, fruity, iced, smooth? Sorry, but it’s really hard to make a recommendation without knowing anything about what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted December 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2018 In the speciality restaurants ask for wine recommendations rather than the wine list. They will happily pair each of your courses. If they offer a wine you are not familiar with they will, obviously, let you taste first before filling your glass. At the porch ask for Sangria to enjoy with the seafood tower....an excellent lunchtime combination. At the pool bar one day I asked for a cocktail that was refreshing but not too sweet or sour. They mixed me one with elderflower in it, sorry I can’t remember the name but it was lovely! We really enjoyed our Reflection cruise, hope you have a great time.

Sorry, but it’s really hard to make a recommendation without knowing anything about what you like. I'm trying to stay away from really high calorie drinks so know fancy fruity drinks. Other than that I don't have a preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you have premium drink pkg i still had to pay a dollar It is usually a 2 drink mix. Hard to explain taste but definitely bourbon in it you can tell but mellowed a lot.

Are some of the drinks over the max for the premium drink package? Some of the drinks are a few dollars more (Zacapa Above the Clouds, Bulleit Infusion, Mystic Kettle One- though I was never charged more for the last one since they don't do the dried ice anymore), but you just pay the difference and sometimes we weren't charged. The Bulleit Infusion changes with each bartender, since the mix of fruit always seems to change a bit, as does how long the infusion has been "developing."

But I had one on order for every day so it was made and waiting when I showed up. Was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
