Rare pirate4me2 Posted October 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hello CC family! So, DH and I are making our great return to cruising next month, and we decided to check out the "big girl," aka Mardi Gras. Since it's been over 2.5 years since our last cruise, we decided to splurge and get the Cheers! package....we got a lot of cruise drinking to make up for, and with so many bars onboard MG we figured we could make it worth it! So to those of you that have cruised aboard Mardi Gras, what is your favorite drink onboard, and what bar did you get it from? I promise to include it, as well as a shoutout to you, in my review to follow! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The Sazerac or the Vieux Carre in the Brass Magnolia. And Bar Della Rosa's Negroni. The parched pig draft brews and the whiskey selection at Pig N Anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my mixed drinks, so I will try the others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted October 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2022 sangria at Rudi’s Seagrill. It is white, light and fruity. Kentucky mule at Bar Della Rosa. Your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisingWalter Posted October 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2022 @pirate4me2 I was completely floored by the New Moon at the Fortune Teller. I honestly thought that bar was going to be a gimmick, but I was completely wrong. The bartenders are awesome craftsmen and women. You have to be a fan of Mezcal (smoky tequila) but if you are, this is an amazing drink. I'll also second @lazydayz on the Rudi's Sangria. That was lovely. I never found that Kentucky Mule at Bar Della Rosa, but next time for sure! If you're a coffee fan, skip Java Blue and get all your coffee drinks at Bar Della Rosa. Shorter line and better coffee. Better yet, go to the Havana Bar and get some Cuban coffee. THAT is the best coffee I've had on any of the 8 cruise lines I've sailed so far, simply amazing. If you're looking for more info on the ship, I do have a full 5 or 6 episode playlist on our YouTube channel including a Food Tour (where we eat almost everything), Cabin Tour (extended balcony cabin) and an overall Ship Review. CC doesn't allow me to post links to my own channel, but if you search Where's Walter Travel on YouTube, you'll find it. 🙂 I also have about 35 TikToks I posted while I was on the ship that you'll find @whereswaltertravel on that app. In fact I did a TikTok of the bartender making the New Moon, posted it immediately and the next day he told me the head of Carnival F&B complimented him on the video. That was pretty cool and I had a friend for the rest of the cruise. 🙂 Welcome back to cruising, you picked a fine ship for your return! Have an AMAZING cruise!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 7, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Need to look for the New Moon at Fortune Tellers. Love Mezcal over tequila. That smallish space for Fortune Tellers and the Alchemy were very crowded the last time we were on. Agree that Bar Della Rosa has great coffee!!

I went ahead and Googled the menus for Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller.....ahhh I am in trouble, there are so many drinks I want to try! I have a feeling I may actually reach the 15 drink limit. 😲 Good thing I have no plans for Roatan day, I think I'm sending DH diving and I will do a little day drinking. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted November 7, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I've mentioned this before in hopes that one day someone with some sway can work it out... I wish there was a printed fleet-wide menu of mixed non-alcoholic beverages. Everyone is different, so I can only explain MY feeling and that of some others I have talked to. As a former professional drinker, retired, it is intimidating to walk up to a bar and not know what to ask for. Coke/pepsi is easy enough, but that gets boring. Some will say "Just tell the bartender what you're looking for." That's hard to do in busy, noisy, loud bars and clubs onboard. It holds things up for you and your drink. Just a printed list of available non-alcoholic beverages and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted November 7, 2022 #24 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Another vote for New Moon. Four cruises on MG and that was the majority of my drinks lol. Bar Dela Rosa does an awesome espresso martini, and if you like wine, the higher end wines by the glass can be had at the steakhouse bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
