hisfirstm8 Posted April 17 #1 Share Posted April 17 This is the first time we will have the beverage package so I'm asking my friends on this board to help me make a list of those drinks that I should not miss. We usually go for either wine or drinks made with bourdon, but are open to trying different things since we have the drink package. And we have the premium package. Thank you so much!!!!

The easiest thing is to go to the different bars and just ask the bartenders as they will help you. Guess what don't like it get something else, the joys of the drink package. Hopefully you're on a ship with World Class Bar as that is where I find my favorites personall love the Double Piquant and Banana Republic, all the drinks are very good. Plus they will make different things for you at times besides the 10 drinks on the menu. Many will say the different Martinis at the Martini Bar, personally I like the Cucumber Martini as I prefer things more "earthy" not super sweet as many of them are there. I have always had fun and getting the bartenders to make me something different not on menus, don't remember but it is always great to ask them.

Arizona Wildcat Posted April 17 #5 Share Posted April 17 As said, ask the bar staff. Each will have a favorite or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyman Posted April 17 #6 Share Posted April 17 Two to try at the WCB are Zacapa Old Fashioned and Azteca, both delicious in their own ways and different to drinks bought anywhere else. The Zacapa Old Fashioned is particularly addictive😀 cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 17 #7 Share Posted April 17 I second these drinks. BUT, they are no longer covered on the premium package. Zacapa Old Fashioned is now $19. I believe Azteca is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHUNTGOLF Posted April 17 #9 Share Posted April 17 I really like the 500 ml bottles of Grolsch beer. When I was on the Ascent in late January, they were difficult to find, but I was successful at some bars, such as the Magic Carpet. At that time, the Grolsch beers were outrageously priced at the $17 max for a Premium package drink. Another thing to not miss is that under the Premium package you can get premium waters at the restaurants, such as Pellegrino. Then, if you like gin or vodka martinis, having the premium package gives you an opportunity to try all of the different vodkas or gins at the the $17 max price point to see if there may be one you’ve never tried that may be a winner. Plus, if you don’t like a particular vodka or gin, just leave it and try another one!!! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 17 #10 Share Posted April 17 bikerunner, please post if you find the price to indeed be $17. Maybe they changed it back recently. It definitely was $19 on Equinox in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they change pricing on the whim overall and do not have a concrete plan on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2camp04 Posted April 17 #12 Share Posted April 17 At the WCB, try the Above The Clouds. It's Zacapa rum infused with applewood smoke. Sounds weird but it really is good and fun to watch them make! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much!!!! no need for a drink package for us: mixed berry smoothie at the Elite breakfast and a latte in the Al Bacio. We don't drink alcohol. 🤣😇 Enjoy the cruise.

cruise47 Posted April 17 #18 Share Posted April 17 In the Eden Restaurant we tried the Belet and it was so good. The Belet is a smoky drink, when you open a small chest. It will be smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted April 18 #21 Share Posted April 18 11 hours ago, hisfirstm8 said: help me make a list of those drinks that I should not miss. New Fashioned Woodford Old Fashioned Zacapa Above the Clouds (World Class Bar, above the price of the DBP but very tasty. You'll pay the difference between the DBP and the price of the drink +20% gratuity). Side Car Cucumber Martini Expresso Martini Lemon Drop Martini Dark & Stormy Moscow Mule White Russian John Collins Coco Loco Hurricane Planters Punch Long Island Ice Tea Long Beach Tea Texas Tea Spicy Margarita That should get you off to a good start. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted April 18 #23 Share Posted April 18 I like the bourbon and peaches. It’s the Luminae signature drink but if you find the bar that services Luminae you can order it there. So worth the hunt! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted April 18 #24 Share Posted April 18 While we also have enjoyed a number of the drinks (with alcohol) already mentioned, a favorite mocktail is the minted lemonade. No alcohol, but a bitter sweet flavor with bruised mint and great on a warm weather itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OceanCruise Posted April 18 #25 Share Posted April 18 If you want to try a frozen drink, my favorite is a Mudslide. It is like an alcoholic mocha milkshake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
