grod19 Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Going on anthem next week (San Juan, st martin,, Antigua, st Kitts and st lucia). For the bourbon drinkers out there, anything decent onboard? What about at the islands? Is gulmohars still a good place to visit? Last time I was there (pre covid) they were getting expensive. Any other places to check out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other places to check out? There's a great bourbon store in San Maarten. It has six varieties of Blanton's. The basic was $85 two weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted January 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2023 On the Anthem- check all the bars. Not sure how it happened, but in 270, there was a bottle of Balcones bourbon (not sure which one). And then it was done. Later, I saw a Balcones rye in Schooner Bar. This was over the first two weeks of December. So there may be surprises on board. As for the stores in St Maarten- we found ones that let you have a try of many bottles. Which included a few of the Blantons versions. Good luck!

The price isn't too bad. $65 is what blantons usually sells for by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2023 According to the RC Blog, the fleet wide spirits menu shows Buffalo Trace. Bulleit and Makers for bourbon with Bulleit, Rittenhouse and Templeton for the ryes. Other whiskies are Jack, Jameson, Crown and Canadian Club. But do scan the bar shelves for others.

What the stores mark them up for on the other hand…. I think our Total Wine sells for our local min which is $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra36 Posted January 22, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2023 It has been quite a few years since I have picked up Blanton's in St. M but the prices I am seeing now locally are crazy. There are plenty of decent bourbons out there to try without breaking the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CntPAcruiser Posted January 22, 2023 #18 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Selections were very spotty on our most recent cruise on Adventure out of NJ. This was back in October, and I haven't seen postings lately about supply chain issues. There was very little available on the first day or so, and then the bars seemed to get restocked, though they didn't all remain that way for long. You sometimes had to take a stroll to get the particular tipple you were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
