lbfluffy Posted September 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I am so excited to be on a cruise in a little over a week. It’s a short 3 day on the Majestic. We have missed traveling. We went to Lake Tahoe over the summer which was fun. Any suggestions for my first cocktail? I can not drink tequila. I read someone mentioned a Midori Colada which sounds yummy. I would love to see what others like. I’m not much of a drinker, but I plan to enjoy a few on this trip. I’m not driving! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted September 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I also can not drink tequila, however, I love a good Mai Tai and Princess does make them. Just make sure that they make it the "Classic" way. Apparently, there is another way which I really do not care for. I only know this because on our first Princess cruise, I ordered a Mai Tai and it was terrible! I asked the bartender about it and he quizzed me. He then proceeded to make me one the "Classic" way and it was wonderful! Mind you, this first Princess cruise was on the Golden in 2003. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabySarge Posted September 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Limoncello and Gin Cocktail - Recipe below in case they don't know how to make it. Can be made without the fresh Thyme. Refreshing and oh so yummy!! 2 sprigs fresh thyme 50 ml Gin of choice (I prefer Tanqueray but that's me) 25 ml Limoncello Half lime (freshly squeezed lime juice to taste) tonic ice cubes INSTRUCTIONS - In a high ball glass lightly crush the sprigs the thyme in your hand and add to the glass. Top up with ice cubes. Add the Gin and Limoncello along with a fresh squeeze of lime to taste. Stir together. Top up with the tonic. Garnish with a lemon wedge and sprig of thyme and serve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbfluffy Posted September 26, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Ok so far I’m for the ultimate mai tai. I hope my cabin is easy to find after a few drinks. No cabin assignment yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I get a floater of dark rum and it makes a huge difference. My other thought was an Espresso Martini. Does Enchanted have a bar where they make "handcrafted" cocktails? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is critical and why I returned the first one I received! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marden1970 Posted September 27, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2021 My DH and I always go to the aft bar while waiting for the room to be ready and have a frozen daiquiri. Have to start early because they have so many flavors and you don't want to miss one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenby Posted September 27, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I go straight to Alfredo's and have a glass of red wine! Otherwise it's a Cadillac Margarita.

Married15 Posted September 28, 2021 #21 Share Posted September 28, 2021 For me it is a Lava Flow or aka Miami Vice. Half Pina Colada and half strawberry Daiquiri. Only time I have them is on a cruise and that makes it so special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renophi Posted September 28, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Only throwing this out there because it hasn't been mentioned (and there are some great options above), but as an old fan of the show you've got to love the Isaac! https://www.princess.com/news/news_releases/2015/02/Princess-Debuts-Love-Boat-Inspired-Cocktail.html Can't say it is my first drink as I usually drain the beers out of my mini fridge while unpacking, but if our room isn't ready when we board anything goes! We also enjoy a good Lava Flow if you like frozen drinks or a volcano, but many of the bars don't know what they are. 🍺 Cheers!
