Bourbon available in bars

[nlktx49]

I broke the news to my husband that Crown Royal is no longer available at bars onboard ships. He asked what other brands of bourbon are available. Can someone who had cruised recently help me with this information?

I see 10 listed under bourbon whiskey at Pig and Anchor: Basil Hayden's, Blanton's, Breckinridge, Buffalo Trace, Duke, Eagle Rare 10 Year, Elijah Craig Small Batch, High West Prairie, Old Forester 80 Proof, and Woodford Reserve.

Crown Royal isn't Bourbon, but a blended Canadian whiskey, and there were gallons on Carnival Glory.

Following this... I see on Vista they have the Guy's BBQ place but it's only open from noon to 230 on seadays.

The Bar has different hours from the food.

Hmmm. I was thinking of Horizon. Does Vista even have a Pig and Anchor?

Interested in any funtimes screenshots or other sources showing the times. that seems to be the best quality value for straight bourbon.

Per Cruisemapper on deck 5

https://www.cruisemapper.com/deckplans/Carnival-Vista-1039/deck05-1675

 

During the ship's 2017 drydock refurbishment, the “Fat Jimmy’s C-Side BBQ” bar was replaced by the new restaurant “Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse” (by celebrity chef Guy Fieri). The new smokehouse (brewhouse / barbecue food bar) is complimentary and opens on seadays only (between 12 noon – 2:30 pm). The menu has BBQ favorites, wood-smoked on the ship, cooked traditionally “low and slow”, using Guy Fieri’s recipes and special spices. Among the menu items are Mac Daddy (Macaroni and Cheese), Scratch-Made Slaw, Potato Salad (Old Skool), Smoked Turkey, Bacon (with Molasses Baked Beans). The list of meats includes chicken, pulled pork and Andouille (pork) sausages. The meat is brined and dry-rubbed before cooking in the ship’s smoker. The meat smoking process lasts 12 to 14 hours. The Smokehouse also offers premium, house-made craft beers.

The bar is open pretty much all day on sea days.  It was always open by 11 or so on the Horizon last month and one of the last to close.  It will open later as will all of the specialty bars on a port day.

O.K. a blended Canadian whiskey - and were these gallons on Glory recently?

Should be open at night.  You might be seeing the lunch BBQ, which is different.

Lot of Heavenly Hill/ Buffalo Trace products there. Doubting if Blanton's is "Straight From the Barrel" or "Gold" but if "original" still a great sipping whisky.

Technically, yes. May have been referring to the availability in the dutyfree FunShops. Someone posted a bartender onboard told him Carnival chose to go exclusive(?) with another brand as their main brand.

Although some Pappy's would be very nice,

I'd be happy with Makers back on board....

On that note, anyone know of bottles like that in the duty free shop?

First time cruising.. not sure what to expect. Can't wait till 1.22.22

Thanks... I can't find it with listed times on any fun times under the drinks section for longer times. 

I hope that's true. If not, well I'll just prop up at the bar and set my timer to 5 minutes one day and get as many as I can in during the 2.5 hours lol.

Just by coincidence, I was going to ask this same question.

 

I was looking at ordering Crown Royal from Carnival's Food & Beverages, and the only one I saw was Seagrams 7 Whiskey, which is a Canadian whiskey.  Here in Canada, I can say "rye and ginger ale" and get a Canadian whiskey, but I learned a long time ago that while I'm in the US, I have to specify a brand or I get bourbon.

 

I hope there are other brands of Canadian whiskey on board, but if not, I'll just get used to "Seagrams and ginger ale".

If you're gonna drink Seagrams, order a 7 and 7, Seagrams 7 and 7 Up. That was a real popular drink when I was growing up.

Or "7 & ginger" - if you prefer ginger ale, as you may find 7 Up too sweet

Certainly displayed and available in the duty free shop. I'll check on Valor in a few weeks.
