Pol Acker

[babs135]

Is this being replaced?  Just been on another site and someone has posted that the bottle awaiting them was Tulloch Cuvee. Comment was that it was much nicer than the PA, but that's not saying a lot 🤣

One can only hope.

I am on QM2 right now. With Pol Acker.

We disembarked QE yesterday.

 

The Pol Acker is still in the room unopened.

As it should be.

Currently on Queen Victoria and we also have Pol Acker.

Mimosas, people!

hit it heavy with da OJ 

[Host Hattie]

Peach juice makes it go down more easily

[newjoisey]

I am sure there are a number of things that would help it.......wife just grabs from the ready rack [tank slang] the fridge OJ 

[Underwatr]

Peach juice would be nice but I just tick the box on the door hanger for orange juice and it arrives in the morning.

[2Oldpeopleinlove]

Room service OJ is certainly our plan.

I must admit, it’s not a brilliant taste but reminds me I’m just about to sail on a brilliant cruise. Be nice if they did change it though.

I always complete the questionnaire and in the "box" that asks for comments I suggest it is time to replace the P.A. with a different cheap bubbly, of which there are many.  I hope others do the same, but I doubt these questionnaires are of any value when it comes to suggestions. I wouldn't bother filling them out except I do like to give credit to the excellent staff.

 

One thing I have noticed over the years is that the P.A. isn't consistent. If in an optimistic mood I could say it is better some years than others, but perhaps it is better to say some years it is worse than others.

There are many good sparkling wines out there less than the cost of Champagne, but hard to tell the price point Cunard would be targeting based vs what they pay for P.A.

Not a good use of orange juice.

Incidentally, our "welcome back" champagne, on QE, was Veuve Cliquot, which was a first for us.

We got Laurent Perrier on QV in September.

As did we. The Pol Acker stayed firmly in its bottle, ready for the next inhabitants to enjoy, or leave.

That is a great welcome. Was that in Queen's Grill? I ask because we have receievd the real thing only in QG, never in any of the other categories.

[BigMac1953]

We embarked on 20 October and were in QG (as usual).

 

Normally, since they discontinued Perrier Jouet, it has been Laurent Perrier, so it was a nice surprise. We actually had a few more to add to the collection.

IMO in a Pol Acker thread, mentions of "Oh we got this or that premium bottle on our last voyage" should mention whether they're in Grills.

On Queen Victoria right now look what we have. I have a gin mixer at the ready so hoping that takes the edge off 😆

Yes, of course, I'm sorry. Though of course WC members get Pol Acker as well. There is no escape.

I gotta ask - is the gin mixer a precursor to the PA or do you actually mix the two??
