Can't be a ship to ship thing. I'll respectively verify your claim on our upcoming Freedom cruise. That list I shared was the first time I've seen one that says SL. The Adventure SL used one similar to the one you shared. Back on Oasis in 7 days. We should have a couple of welcome aboard letters from LA and the Concierges. Usually a list of the included products is with those Edited February 11, 2019 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed a lot of martinis being drunk in the lounges and no one complains about the vodka. Those martini drinkers seem pretty happy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're slowly getting rid of O'Douls. You have to ask for it in the Diamond Lounge. My Dad had several of these every day on the Jewel this past week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ever try Popov? $5 a fifth. I would say for the past 2 years? Before that it was Smirnoff or Finlandia. NA is awful, even with mixers. Keeps me from drinking so I suppose I'm staying healthier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the bars would give it to my Dad during the happy hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't make me a Cosmo because they said they didn't have the ingredients. They always make them in the lounges. OTOH sometimes the wine they pour is (relatively) better than what's available in the lounges. Depends on what they have, where you go, and who is your bartender. oh, and tips.

The Diamond Club on Radiance class ships uses a fully stocked bar outside of the club. It is very inconsistent as to what each bar service waiter will serve you 'off list'. However, I have never seen Titos in the CL, but I have seen waiters go to the same Diamond Club bar as a special favor to a guest. Having said that, occasionally a Pin or Suite guest will get something special stocked for them in the CL after the first night. Many times they will say I have to ask my supervisor.

There were so many Diamond members that they had to open up the Viking Crown for the overflow. Apparently they had over 300 diamond members on board.

The waiters use that bar or a service bar. There are no bar facilities inside the DL. Didn't mean to imply passengers use that bar. Unless the entire VCL is taken over for the cruise.

Both times on Serenade and Brilliance, the bar in the CL had Tito’s. No clue about the DL. We always get the drink package.

We've had them do a margarita on the rocks, but they won't add the orange liqueur. Do they have agave nectar and lime juice to mix with the tequila on the rocks?

I agree, we can always get them in the lounge, that's why I was suprised they wouldn't make them in the Champagne bar. He said he didn't have the correct ingredients. I usually have good luck at the (nonlounge) bars with the stock wines (not Tisdale) and vodkas (variable but worth a try). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I have had very heavy pours that might as well have been doubles (funny because I kept telling them 'not too much'). Depends on the bartender. Just say ok and tip them and maybe later they will remember you like doubles. Also cannot get a double with the vouchers. You have to use a voucher then go back and get another or they will charge you for one drink towards your double. (use 1 voucher and you will get a single drink charge as well).

nybabs Posted April 17, 2019 #123 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We did try and tip them. The Diamond Lounge manager came over and stated they will not pour doubles which is a way different experience we've had over the years. The only way they would do it is pour two singles and deliver it to both of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH gets a double scotch in the DL, SL and with his 3 drink coupons in the Schooner Bar, if we don't go to one of the lounges. We are on Harmony on the 28th, so we will see if they say no. Not a big deal to just get a second drink even if we are in the Schooner Bar as we never use all our coupons each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
