My DH loved the 100 proof by Jack Daniel’s made specifically for Princess. He’s a fan of Woodford, Crown Royal and Blantons, if that gives you an idea of his tastes.

MattnTricia Posted December 1, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I am hoping to come across Blantons. My local shops it’s almost impossible to come by. It would be great if they had Blanton’s onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did see if in a bar in Ketchikan but it was $45 a shot, so we passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted December 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Oh, and there was some nice Macallan to choose from, too. some were covered but some went way over the $20 limit if the premier package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted December 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I think some folks here are confusing bourbon and other whiskey types. Crown Royal is a Canadian whiskey and Macallans is a scotch For the plus package there is usually Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace Edited December 1, 2023 by memoak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapsgp Posted December 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) There is also Knob Creek that is covered under Plus Package. Last year there was also a Woodford Reseve Private Princess Label that was maybe $19 a shot. Edited December 1, 2023 by kapsgp Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted December 1, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have never seen Blanton's onboard. For Whiskey Sours we like Maker's Mark. I had a couple tonight onboard the Enchanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to judge in a mixed drink but I didn’t dislike it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrSchwump Posted December 1, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Strictly speaking, Jack Daniels isn’t Bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's well over $400 per shot. Mind boggling. We just got off Grand Princess and it's listed in the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted December 2, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I drink Bulleit Bourbon. It has a high Rye content and I love Bulleit Rye. (There was no Bulleit Rye to be had on the ship.) I started most days on our recent cruise by visiting the aft bar, ordering one Immune Booster (multiple citrus fresh juiced), one Cleanser (fresh juiced veggies with a mix of green stuff including green apple, celery and cucumber) and one shot Bulleit straight up. I toss down the Bulleit and then drink the healthy stuff. (The cleanser sounded pretty nasty to me but it was amazingly good. I wish I could have it every morning at home.) The fresh juice was only available until 2:00 PM. Note: While the citrus "Immune Booster" was very good (it varied in tartness according to that day's fruit) there is another fresh juice on the menu that is simply called a "Booster". My wife and I agreed that it was vile. Leave it to Princes to have to radically different juices with a very similar name. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about it and they said it was kept locked up and, if they had an order for it, they had to get a higher-up to retrieve it for serving.
