happy42cruise Posted December 12, 2022 #28 Share Posted December 12, 2022 My DH likes the Dunes so much I found the recipe to make them at home. I agree about looking through the menus for what sounds good to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathj003 Posted December 12, 2022 Author #29 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I appreciate all these suggestions so much! I have a list going. It is going to be so fun to try these fun cocktails! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep68 Posted December 12, 2022 #30 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Years ago I remember a cocktail called a Rum Cake Martini that was a great after dinner dessert drink. Does anyone know if they are still served? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobship Posted December 13, 2022 #31 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I don't drink much at all unless it's free or I have the beverage package then it's glug, glug, glug. I don't know drinks either, so often times when I'm at the bar and about to order I might see someone walk away with what looked like something I'd like to try and then I go ahead and order the same drink. On a recent cruise I ordered a Blue Hawaii (or Hawaiian?) and it sent me to heaven. The one I got had coconut pieces around the rim which made it taste and smell fabulous. Not only is a Blue Hawaii highly potable but it's nice to just look and the name is simply romantic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HikaruTsuki Posted December 14, 2022 #32 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I second the Beverly Hills Iced Tea recommendation. It's so good and I have very fond (albeit hazy) memories of getting absolutely obliterated by them. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arctickitty Posted December 14, 2022 #33 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Not unique to Princess, but one cruise I chose to use my one and only drink coupon on a mojito and it was well worth it. Another time I read bar menus all over the ship and chose something with raspberry puree from the bar by the International Cafe. It was delicious and attracted all sorts of unwanted attention from everyone walking past me in the piazza wondering what it was. Looking at recent menus, I don’t see anything similar. My theory was to pick something with a real food ingredient. Not a cocktail, but if you order a glass of wine at vines, they offer you tapas, which is fun.

happy42cruise Posted December 14, 2022 #34 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I found Rum Cake Martini listed as a drink on NCL. A photo of their drink menu said "Pyrat XO reserve dark rum/ Godiva dark liqueur/ Chambord/ fresh cream". You can always ask your bartender to try & make it for you. Good luck!

MissP22 Posted December 15, 2022 #36 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Does Princess still stock Godiva chocolate liqueur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoCruiser723 Posted January 2, 2023 #37 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Love the unlimited package. Best suggestion seen on these boards is to write down on a card the ingredients for your favorite or “special” drink. The bartender will appreciate knowing he is making it correctly for you. Enjoy!

1emerald1 Posted January 2, 2023 #39 Share Posted January 2, 2023 On my last cruise I tried two drinks I had not had before, the Dunes and an Aperol Spritz! Both were very tasty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on the Regal Princess in 2023 and I got the beverage package. I am excited to try some new drinks! I honestly think the best drinks on board the Regal were in the Good Spirits Bar. Expecially with Mark Anthony and Christian behind the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted January 3, 2023 #44 Share Posted January 3, 2023 8 hours ago, bhawks9 said: 24 Karat Margarita! Alberto on the CB made them best! I like the 24K Gold Margarita (although it's a bit on the sweet side) but never order it "frozen". I have no need for a ton of ice. I also order it in a "rocks" glass (hate Margarita glasses) and specify "no salt". Great drink if you like them a bit sweet. I tend to drink Bulleit - double, straight up. It's easy for the bartenders, I like it, and I can see that I'm actually getting a double. On our cruise in DecemberI walked toward the Good Spirits bar and a bartender - who wasn't near a terminal and didn't have a handheld device that would show my name and picture - said, "Mister Michael! Bulleit?" with a big grin. He remembered me from our cruise in May on a different ship. Other than the 24K Gold Margarita and Bulleit I tend to have the occasional Chairman of the Board or one of several brands of Scotch - double, straight up of course. My wife tends to drink Lemon Drop Martinis. On our last cruise she tried a couple of the really sweet "martinis" (Princess seems to call anything in a martini glass a "martini") but found them overly sweet to have more than once. She tried the Milky Way Martini and the Bailey's Raspberry Martini (it was something like that) at Crooner's. She said they were quite tasty but once was enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotmay Posted January 4, 2023 #45 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Can you just order a drinks package separately or do you have to take the wifi and other “stuff.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted January 4, 2023 #46 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Cheaper to do the whole package! it has been $50. per person per day, but is going to $60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never knock back 4 Manhattans in an hour but these suckers go down like lemonade. Thank God the medallion ap could tell me where I was because after 4 in a couple hours I had no idea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKWildcatCruiser Posted April 26, 2023 #49 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Is the menu at Good Spirits the same across all ships? I was on the Sky in February and the drinks were based mostly on the Caribbean islands. I thought maybe the drinks change depending on where your ship was going. That being said, I had a Great Pumpkin and it's one of the best cocktails I've had. If I can have that again on my Alaska cruise I will be a happy happy cruiser!
