Martini bar

Is it still possible to get a martini at the martini bar with the classic beverage package?

Looking at Connie, if that makes any difference. 

Thanks so much.

On Apex in December, there were 4 that we could choose from with the Classic package.  This could vary ship-by-ship though as you alluded to.

Technically, no. Do some bartenders still do it? Yes, but they aren’t supposed to. On our last few cruises I have seen the bartenders tell people no, so they are getting more strict about it. You can go to a different bar and get one, just not the martini bar.

So no paying the difference?

Currently on the Apex and friends have the classic package and are getting martinis no problem at the martini bar. Note however, the martini bar has switched to the small martini glasses so that is likely why they are allowing it now.

I hope you are showing off your big one, CG, you know the margarita glass.

I got the rare normal old style proper large size martini glass last night. I felt like I had hit the jackpot and I definitely paraded that around the grand plaza. I did hear a few comments “look, he has a big one!” 🤭

Just so I’m clear. With Classic package you can get the smaller martini and with Pemium you get the regular sized martini or are they all minis?

We will be on a Beyond in April.

Worth it to upgrade for more options with drinks, especially if you like martini's and premium alcohol.

Just off the Connie last month.  Anyone with the classic package paid a $4 up charge for Martini.

Thanks to all. Of you for replying, much appreciated.

Back with my big gulp last night!

So if the Martini bar is going to be a stickler on not making you a Martini with classic liquor then go down the walkway to another bar ( On Reflection the casino bar is almost accross from the Martini bar ) and get you a nice Tini there and then walk back to the Martini bar and watch the show . Problem solved 🍸
