I found "Dark and Stormy" on a Princess cruise, but everyone makes it.  Simple, Ginger Beer, Dark Rum and a splash of lime.  All depends on the type of rum.  Definitely call out Goselins.  Meyers is acceptable substitute.  Great for pre-dinner.

 

Stand by for pool deck, Tequila Sunrise, w/1880 Repasado.  All depends on how much Grenadine they put in and if they stir it.  You will know the more experienced bartenders by this.

 

Of the daily special drinks, I can't say any have stuck with me after trying 1 or 2.

Last NCL cruise my favorites were the Matador, Rebellious Fish, Painkiller, and their Lavender Patch martini.

EDIT: after seeing @ggTexasGal's post, I realized I forgot the Getaway and Mr Worldwide (introduced to me by @JamieLogical). This list is awesome, BTW

Well, mine are Guinness and Black Label, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

No drink is to be over-looked.  Generally, I am not a beer drinker, but through lists on CC, I have found some I did enjoy!

Thank you!  On one of cruises (w/Premium Plus) I was on a MISSION ... (not impossible)!

@ggTexasGal That is some list!  I do have the PP+ for our cruise on the 11th, but I don't think I could make a dent in it.  But I'm certainly going to give it a good college try!  

That's the spirit! 😜

In all honesty, I have not tried every drink on the list. 

But, I have tried my fair share.  I keep getting pulled back to my favorite dozen or so!☺️

Thanks @ggTexasGal

That is a great list!   When we were last in the Haven, I asked the bartender to make me an Emperor's Nectar (as on your list), but he didn't have all the ingredients.  He came close though!

 

 I loved another drink that WAS at Food Republic.  I believe it was called Revolutionary Cure.  Wish I knew the the ingredients for that one🤔
