Rare LMaxwell Posted December 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Does Holland America do Martini tasting/cocktail mixing events; if so, what do they usually charge? I have read of bar crawls with a host taking people bar to bar for special cocktails and a set fee. Don't recall if that was Holland or another message board (Celebrity possibly)? Thinking up something fun to do on sea day if they have these things and wondering the costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted December 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Yes, they had on Nieuw Amsterdam and Rotterdam in September to November this year. Wine tastings, beer tastings, Mixology Classes, Whiskey and Martini tastings and the like. Costs varied and I don't recall the exact amounts but will hazard an estimate of the $20 to $30 range. People on some of the recent "live from" threads have posted photos of the daily schedules where you can find the prices. I went to a great wine tasting on Nieuw Amsterdam with Sommelier Jude from the Philippines and it was very enjoyable. He did an informative and tasty presentation.

CruiseCruiseCruise13 Posted December 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2022 We did a great cocktail tasting on the KO last year. It was $15pp. My husband has done whiskey tasting on the pinnacle class ships, they can range in price from $20-$50pp. There is usually wine and beer tastings too. I haven’t seen a bar crawl on HAL in many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodjs Posted December 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Whiskey tastings on Koningsdam last week. The pub crawl used to happen on Orange party night and end up in BB King. Haven't seen it since Covid. Always a variety of wine tastings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navybikermom Posted December 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Quite often, on embarkation day, they set up tables in the Lido pool area where you can sign up for the wine/beer tastings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbluff Posted December 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2022 My DW and I attended a Mixology event this week on Konsingdam at the Ocean Bar. The $15 fee gets you four cocktails to make and drink plus a whole lot of fun. All 8 bar seats plus four people standing. Much audience participation. It occurs twice per week on KDam. Highly recommended. For me, this falls into the low cost/high value options which include Pinnacle Grill lunch on sea days and unlimited laundry. Also, we have had 2 for 1 beers anytime at multiple bars this week and last on Konsingdam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips everyone, I'll look at boarding day for a sign up There was a sign advertising the 2-for-1 beers for the sail away event at the Seaview pool. No sign at the bars. Just happy passengers when they were given two instead of the one that was ordered. Have not seen a promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
