You could bring a small bottle of tonic for the gin and vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermaroon2 Posted September 14, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2006 A bottle of coconut rum mixes well with the Orange punch and lemonade you can get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber1 Posted September 14, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Good vodka goes well with the free ice on board.:D Wife brought vodka and kahlua, then got milk from the buffet, white russians. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacknoi Posted September 14, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay (Coconot Flavored Rum) is AWESOME by iteself or any cola... Coke and Parrot bay tastes so good, my buddy named it "baby juice" since its that smooth.... I know soda isnt free but its a great alcohol.

MRVEGAS711 Posted September 14, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I got a nice bottle of Makers Mark Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon goin on the Triumph with me in 2 days. She'll only be mixed with ice, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuak Posted September 14, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2006 vodka and punch, vodka and lemonade, vodka and tomato juice, vodka and orange juice, vodka and any crystal light drinks, vodka and vermouth with a twist of orange/lemon/lime (great easy martini). Can you tell I drink vodka??? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikera Posted September 14, 2006 Author #10 Share Posted September 14, 2006 nanuak: I certainly can tell you like vodka.... now can we find tomato juice thru room service.. I am guessing it is not free... also as I side thought - kahlua with soft serve ice cream!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babypom Posted September 14, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2006 ;) I always bring kaluha and mix it with the ice cream, also irish cream with my morning room service coffee (:rolleyes: I'm on vacation so may as well start the day out with a litte tody!). I have also brought fresh spearment leaves to have with rum and lemonade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikera Posted September 14, 2006 Author #12 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Ok now what would the packing method be:wrapping in bubble wrap? Only flip flops in my suitcase - no real shoes to stick the bottles into!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermaroon2 Posted September 14, 2006 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey MRVEGAS... Are you a Maker's Mark Ambassador? I now live in Lebanon, KY and Maker's Mark is actually distilled less than 8 miles from my house. If you haven't already, you should plan a tour of the distillery sometime. Excellent choice of bourbon and you WILL NOT find it on the Carnival ships, that's for sure. We checked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarasotasteve Posted September 14, 2006 #14 Share Posted September 14, 2006 My wife loves her Sea-breezes and Bay-breezes. Vodka with grapefruit juice and a little squirt of Cranberry juice & Vodka with pineapple juice and a little squirt of Cranberry juice. You can also substitute Rum for the Vodka and its called an Ocean breeze I think. I enjoy Lime Vodka with Sprite Zero and a twist of lime. All the juices should be available at breakfast every morning.. Enjoy. sb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted September 14, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Coconut rum and OJ! The apple vodka sounds good -- we'll have to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunkie103 Posted September 15, 2006 #16 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Anything you order from room service is free, so that should include tomato juice. I like rum with the fruit punch, or half lemonade and half fruit punch to mix with rum. All sorts of possibilities.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerstarr Posted September 15, 2006 #17 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok now what would the packing method be:wrapping in bubble wrap? Only flip flops in my suitcase - no real shoes to stick the bottles into!! Weve purchased some Rum Runners Flasks(plastic pouches with a pour spout) and will try those. They havent come in yet(we ordered Mon night) but will definitely test them out when they get in to see how well they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruggled Posted September 15, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 15, 2006 OK...whether you smuggle it onboard or buy it legal--the guava juice that they serve at breakfast is awesome with vodka. In fact, DH discovered it one morning and got a bit upset when it "went away" at lunch...so the next morning he brought down one of our BIG covered mugs, filled it with guava juice and kept it spike out of his "special" water bottle for the rest of the day. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotRob Posted September 15, 2006 #19 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Anything you order from room service is free That's ridiculous. If it has to come from a bar, it is most certainly NOT free, and that includes soft drinks, too. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikera Posted September 15, 2006 Author #20 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Actually I was wondering about tomato juice. I know you can get it from room service, but isn't there a charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeljohn Posted September 15, 2006 #21 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Several of the liqour companies now sell it in plastic bottles. We always pack a plastic bottle of Capt. Morgan's rum with us. It mixes well with most on board juices............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitch57 Posted September 15, 2006 #22 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The beauty of Vodka is that it mixes well with weverything. I like the vanilla flavored vodka mixed with diet coke. I just heard of this mix: vodka, coconut rum, cinnamon schnapps, splash of lemon juice, and pinapple juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom e boy Posted September 15, 2006 #23 Share Posted September 15, 2006 with all the responses , can i assume most of you bring alcohol on board with you? I have been on one other cruise and they were pulling a few folks out of the line due to just that. I went on NCL. Is Carnival less stringent about this rule? I was going to order a bottle or two prior to our sail date and have it in our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Cruise Posted September 15, 2006 #24 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I've ordered tomato juice from room service before and there was no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGSplano Posted September 15, 2006 #25 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I was on Conquest last week. There are no charges for juices (inclucing tomato) and milk. Sodas and Alcohol have a charge. The tomato juice is plain tomato juice...which is REALLY bland. No salt or any other enhancers you usually get with a mixer. One thing to note, there is lemonade, punch, and orange (i think) and tea from the fountains and they remove some of the options at different parts of the day. The options still worked when we tried them at the end of the cruise. The punch is one that is not labeled all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
