zebraman Posted April 15 #1 Share Posted April 15 Does anyone know how much Carnival charges for a glass (shot) of Blanton’s bourbon or if it’s even available on the ships? We have the Cheers program but want to know if it’s over their $20 max limit TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted April 15 #2 Share Posted April 15 (edited) I've not seen it on any of my cruises. Doesn't mean it's not around but...wish it was. Edited April 15 by Pyrate13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure of exact price but it was covered with Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenF Posted April 15 #4 Share Posted April 15 I had Blanton's in the Steak House on the Legend last years cant remember the exact price but think it was under 20 also I did not have the cheers package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted April 15 #5 Share Posted April 15 I think Blanton's is $18. There may not be any drinks over $20 right now actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted April 15 #6 Share Posted April 15 Both the steakhouse and the Alchemy bar on Vista had it last week. I had 3 shots, and they were $18 each I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted April 15 #7 Share Posted April 15 It USED to (as in one year ago) be $15, otherwise I wasn't charged the $3 overage. I've seen it in Pig & Anchor on the Vista and Excel class ships and in the steakhouses on Conquest and Spirit class ships. Drank it so much on Glory last March they gave me the little horse when the bottle was gone 🙂 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted April 16 #10 Share Posted April 16 What's the difference between Blanton's and my current fav Woodford Reserve? Smokier? Just curious on what you all think. Yes, I will try it on my next cruise in September😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace... very very difficult to source. That being said I have heard its not that great and is only "rare" because of John Wick lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to find a bottle on land for the past few years. The only time I get it is on a cruise....which is probably a good thing! 😜 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try some next week on Mardi Gras if I can find it in any of the bars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrate13 Posted April 16 #16 Share Posted April 16 Looks like I need to investigate other bars while on board. Sparks, at $65 I'd be buying plenty. I saw some in Cookeville TN at $149 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if bourbon could be used in old fashions (complete neophyte here about anything related to whiskey/bourbon/scotch). Looked at the liquor store and Blanton's is $70 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KarmaCruisers Posted April 16 #22 Share Posted April 16 Blantons is super smooth; and this is coming from someone who has tried a few different varieties of Pappy. Weller is a close second, imho. but yeah; a lot of ships now have Blantons (vista class and excel class both have it at Guys Pig & Anchor) here in California Blantons is $100 a bottle IF you can get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Trace was also available at most bars around the Sunshine and for my tastes, BT makes a better old fashioned than Woodford and the EH Taylor mentioned earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
