Dreamscaper Posted July 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2023 What are your must-order drinks aboard Princess? I want to make some wise informed choices within my 15 limit Is there anything off menu you'd recommend that they know how to make? We have Princess Plus, but if there's something really special I'm not above paying the overage for something great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Princess Plus, but if there's something really special I'm not above paying the overage for something great :) On our Grand Princess Cruise in 2018 I discovered the Cherry Blossom Garden (loved it but I swear every bartender on that ship prepared it differently, even had one bartender serve it as a frozen drink, good Lord that one was good) On our last cruise in November none of the bartenders had ever heard of it (sigh). On said cruise, I fell in love with the "Dirty Banana". If you like frozen drinks (and I do), the BBC (bananas, baleys & colada) and the Miami Vice (half strawberry daiquiri/half pina colada and when done right one vertical side of the glass is red and the other is white) are good cocktails. DW discovered the Milky Way Martini (not a frozen drink and filled with what she calls "chocolatey goodness"). On the non alcoholic side, she enjoyed the Americano Latte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted July 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Both the dirty banana and milky way are two of my favorites also the ultimate cooler is good it's vodka based with watermelon juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SuzieQ521 Posted July 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Dirty Banana is a good frozen drink but my absolute favorite on my recent Royal Princess cruise was Dunes--it was at the Crooners bar but you may be able to get it elsewhere (over ice--coconut rum, melon and banana liqueur, pineapple juice and sweet and sour). I was a fond of the Egyptian zombie (Bacardi Superior rum, Gosling's Dark rum, blackberry brandy, sweet and sour, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine) and Mai tai as well.

The Cherry Blossom Garden was my favourite too! I'm so sad it's not around any more. 😭 The Pina Colada and Baileys Raspberry Martini are my new favourite drinks.

Rare Lady Arwen Posted July 2, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Two favs for me. Grey Goose (GG Orange if they have it) with tonic, float 2 orange slices. Hendricks with cucumber tonic and loads of ice. I don’t enjoy sweet frou frou drinks at all. My DH only drinks Scotch (Macallan, preferably) neat. Whispering Angel Rose at dinner for me and DH drinks some red stuff. That’s it. The most boring drinkers you will ever meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellipooh Posted July 2, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 2, 2023 My (slightly embarrassing) favorite Princess cocktail is the Monte Chocso: hot chocolate, grand marnier and kahlua. It’s possible I had that for breakfast, maybe more than once. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsqrl Posted July 3, 2023 #19 Share Posted July 3, 2023 My favourite drink is the London Lemonade martini. It's no longer on the menu, but so far (fingers crossed), I've had good luck finding bartenders who remember it and will make it for me. I love it because it's tart, not sweet like the Lemon Drop. And of course, like all proper martinis, it is based on gin and not vodka! My second fave is just a classic gimlet (again, gin not vodka) or the Chairman of the Board.

KLM3164 Posted July 3, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 3, 2023 My favorite drink on the Princess drink menu is the Dunes. My favorite drink that’s not on the menu (I don’t think) is a Mailbu Sunrise, Malibu rum, OJ and grenadine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I'd love it too but the price is crazy. They had this on Ruby Princess last year. This is one spendy ounce of liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
