Gari Posted September 15 #1 Share Posted September 15 Hello All I have read that the value of the first drink is $16 plus gratuity. What type of mixed drinks can you get for that price? I figure ill try something different that my usual beer. Suggestions would be appreciated Thanks so much Gari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted September 15 #2 Share Posted September 15 Pretty much all mixed drinks fall in that price category. Primarily the only liquors more expensive than that are the aged selections that are rarely mixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they call it that because it won't work after a couple of those? 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted September 15 #6 Share Posted September 15 There's a drink at Alchemy called the Deal Closer. That drink should be named the Deal Breaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Illbcruzn4life Posted September 15 #7 Share Posted September 15 We didnt know about the welcome drink. Got onboard with the soda package and ordered a soda at dinner. They told us that was our drink. They said they were going to reverse it but haven’t gotten our first drink yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMA "B" Posted September 16 #8 Share Posted September 16 How does the welcome aboard drink work when sailing from NY port? In NY Cheers doesn't start until the 2nd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can also comp you one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted September 17 #10 Share Posted September 17 I don't drink, so the best value Welcome Aboard Drink for me is a mocktail, which is usually a "No-jito", which is a virgin Mojito. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't drink either, but most of the mocktails don't appeal. Can you redeem the Welcome Aboard Drink for a fancy coffee? What about a milkshake?

Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted September 17 #14 Share Posted September 17 Do minors get the welcome aboard drink? If so, can they get a milkshake? (If not, they'd be very happy with a virgin pina colada). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your kids can go to Java Blue (or similar location) first thing for their milkshakes. The complimentary drink is the first ordered drink, from my understanding.

DanJ Posted September 17 #17 Share Posted September 17 I'm pretty sure it was a $13 drink because I had to pay for my $15 drinks the first couple nights and then I tried a $13 and the bartender said this was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geovet Posted September 17 #19 Share Posted September 17 Do they actually use all those liquors. I’ve seen them just pour something from a bottle. Strange also that if you let it sit for a while, there is a residue on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I said CCL is getting better with their bribes but have a ways to go before they catch up to Royal.
