famof4togo Posted January 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2022 My AM favorites are bloody mary's, mimosa's and bellini's. Pool side - Miami Vice (half pina colada / half strawberry daiquiri) or sex on the beach. Evening - Pineapple / Jalapeno martini, plain ole champagne (sparkling wine more likely), or a lemon drops... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinaInTexas Posted January 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I had Cheers for the first time in Oct. I didn't utilize it very well but hopefully learned from my mistakes because I have it again for next months cruise. My favorite, most ordered drink was the spicy pineapple martini. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted January 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yes don't overlook the yummy coffees', milkshakes and be sure to drink plenty of water between the alcoholic beverages. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersPkg4Us Posted January 19, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2022 About anything from the Alchemy Bar. Be sure to ask for premium brands on mixed drinks at other bars such as Gentlemen Jack, Bombay Sapphire, Gray Goose or Don Julio ...ect. my wife really likes the Chocolate Mocha Getaway from about any bar not named Alchemy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted January 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If you like tequila ask for a Fiery Tropical Martini at Alchemy. Not on menu but very tasty with a bit of mango heat. My DH orders the Caribbean Manhattan also not on Alchemy menu. Bourbon, spicy brown sugar syrup, sweet vermouth, angostura bitters and Luxardo cherries. Very tasty! Serenity Bar has a bunch of drinks not at other bars. My fav is the skinny Cape Cod. Light and refreshing! If you do order drinks from the other bars, make sure you ask for a top shelf name. Have fun!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallnthensome Posted January 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Again, alchemy bar menu. No other bar and there drinks comes close. Cucumber sunrise is my favorite due to its light cool refreshingness as well as taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNJCruisers Posted January 20, 2022 #17 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Since you're sailing on a Sunday, you're obviously not sailing on the Mardi Gras, which has three bars not found in the rest of the fleet that are a notch above. That leaves you with the Alchemy Bar, which many have already mentioned in this thread. I would recommend that you go off menu and let the mixologist take care of you. They will ask you your base liquor of choice, any things you don't like in a drink and if you want it fruity, spicy, strong, etc. When consuming any other drink at a bar, always name your liquor by brand. And at the outside bars on Lido, make sure that your drink does not come from a premade pitcher. They have been known to try to speed up the serving time by having batches done ahead of time. Always stay hydrated and ask for the good water, Evian or Perrier, otherwise you get the cheap stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never been on a B2B until recently, with 5 of them booked for 2022. And a S2S and 4 more B2B for 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will echo this. The Brass Magnolia and the Fortune Teller are exceptional and they take having Cheers to another level. The selection combined with live music creates a whole new Carnival evening experience. The drinks I learned about at these bars changed what I look to drink at venues shoreside.

cmukid87 Posted January 20, 2022 #24 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I like trying everything at the Red Frog Pub (not the Rum Bar on Lido). They have fun mojitos and other rum based drinks that I really enjoy. I also really enjoy the spicy margaritas at the Blue Iguana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted January 20, 2022 #25 Share Posted January 20, 2022 While everyone said Alchemy bar, I would also go beyond their menu and to things you like. As someone who likes an old fashioned, I don't care much for their "Caribbean" version. However, they will make a normal one, and it is usually better than elsewhere on the ship. Also, a margarita at BlueIguana is a must for me. Especially on a sea day, with the tacos. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
