Drinks Above $20

[moviegal]

Haven't sailed Carnival for a while, but I'm booked on the Panorama this spring. I see that the Cheers program has a stipulation that reads "25% discount off the menu price for any spirit or wine by the glass above $20.00."

 

My question is: what beverages / spirits / wine by the glass are priced above $20? Does anyone have any current menus?

 

I'm just curious what they have, and what would be over $20. I'm sure it's super premium liquors and wine, but I'd love to know specifics.

Some pours of liquors in the steakhouse, but that's about it. I don't think any mixed drinks at the regular bars around the ships are over $20.

Even when I've asked for a drink with a more expensive liquor they haven't adjusted the price from what was on the menu.

I got a shot of Blanton's at Alchemy last month and it was $18. That's the highest I've seen personally.

Yeah one cruise many years ago I attempted to find the "above $20 drink" but never did, I know others have reports them but personally even in the "higher end" places...Steakhouse, Alchemy etc...I've never found one.

you'll need to dig deep to find drinks that expensive...

Drinks in the souvenir cups are over $20 somewhere around $23-$24 if I remember correctly.

High end sipping tequilas at Blue Iguana and specialty sipping rums at Red Frog can be in excess of $20.

Cheers excludes anything sold in a souvenir cup, so those are already off the table as it relates to OP's question.  If they will serve an otherwise $23-$24 drink in a regular glass, though, I'd expect that price would be $20 or less.

I was just getting ready to post this. You get the drink under Cheers, but you still need to pay for the cup and it is the cup that sends the price north of $20, not the drink. So if you order a $12 drink and the total is $23, you'll be charged $11 for the cup. (Same holds true for the "shots" they sell in the MDR, you have to pay for the souvenir shot glass but not the contents.)

We are cruising on the Celebration in August with a pretty large group that includes one of our daughters and her family.  Her husband LOVES Blanton’s and will spend a good amount of time in P&A for that reason.

It's good stuff.  Makes a great Old Fashioned. Vista last month was the first time I've seen it at Alchemy!

He always had me checking it our at bars on our cruises (to see of they had it).  That said, he found it posted somewhere and asked me to confirm and we did on our last MG cruise.

A big, hearty "thank you" to  everyone who responded. Super useful information, and I really do appreciate it! Now I know my homework when I sail: try to find all of the "above $20" drinks and report back, LOL!

Pig N Anchor has drinks over $20 but they’re the oversized drinks served in mason jars. They’re not your standard bar drink. I had one on the MG but I don’t recall being charged extra for it.
