    So I know the Bionic Bar doesn't get much love from repeat cruisers - my understanding from these forums is that it's a "one and done" type experience, largely because the drinks are not too good or too syrupy. That being said, I'd like to have a good time when I do check out this experience. So, if you could only order drinks from the bionic bar, what is the "best" cocktail or drink to go with here? (including, perhaps, one you've created on your own). Cheers!

    Personally we loved the Bionic bar and it was our favorite place to get non frozen drinks. So we went several times a day. My favorite was the sex on the beach. Very good. Their cosmo is pretty good too. If only it could do frozen drinks then we would not have gone anywhere else. 
     

    Happy Cruising

    Absolute frustrating and annoying..I have yet to get a straw that makes it through how long it takes me to drink a drink.....

    Agree completely. Especially for frozen drinks the paper straws always break while using them. So I have bought a reusable silicone collapsable straw that I’m going to use instead. ? 

  3. Hey all cruisers. I am finally doing another Royal cruise after 5 years and it appears that the drink menus have drastically changed and now there appears to only be a few drinks listed in them with only a couple of frozen drinks being listed. Now that the old menus are gone which had lots of different types of drinks shown with pictures as well, thought I would create a topic where everyone that has cruised recently can share their favorite frozen drinks for all of us frozen drink lovers to learn and discover new drinks. 

    So recent Royal cruisers, what are some of your favorite frozen drinks that you have had recently? Especially any not listed on the new limited menus?

    Some of mine are Pina Colada, Lava Flow, Blue Hawaiian, Miami Vice. 

     

    Oh and does anyone know of a frozen drink that is made of several different colors? I’ve seen pictures of this and it looks nice but I’m not sure about what it is called.

     

    We have the drink package for the first time and would love to make a list of some new drinks to try instead of the typical standard pina colada and strawberry daiquiri so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

     

    Thanks all ?

  4. You only need to carry the cup with you if you want to use the freestyle machine for more soda choices as the bars will only have a couple of options. So if you just want a couple of choices for soda like coke and sprite then you can simply give your seapass card to the bar and get a drink. But if you would like one of the other options like Dr Pepper, flavored water, etc which are only found on the machine then you would need to use the cup. 
     

    Happy Cruising ? 

  5. It is great. It allows you to make a reservation for whatever time you want and you don’t have to them eat with other people. You can reserve a table for yourself at whatever time you want. Some people don’t even do reservations but we always do to avoid any long waits. It’s a great way to do the MDR. Happy Cruising

    They are part of the MDR service to celebrate Royal's 50th birthday.  They have been serving them for a good portion of the year.  They are complimentary and are in addition to the dessert menu.  They only serve them on one night of the sailing, though.

    Does anyone know how you find out when they are offered on upcoming cruises? Or do you just have to wait and see if you are in the MDR in the right night? Thanks

    It was a CocoLoco.   It’s the drink of the day on the island, and is “Royal’s Drink”.  Word is it’s the same as a Labadoozy, but I haven’t been to Labadee soo can’t confirm.  (Next summer!)

    Oh cool thanks. Will have to try it ? 

  8. Yes so if you prepaid gratuities already then any onboard charges would be for things not covered. Such as any onboard activities that cost money like bingo, casino, etc. Any room service charges, charges for dining not free or booked in advance, beverages not covered under the package, additional tips beyond the basic that you might want to leave, on board purchases from shops, etc. It all depends on what you are planning to do on the ship to estimate if you should have any onboard charges. 

     

    Happy Cruising.

    It's possible to get tables for 2 in traditional dining, right?

    In my experience I don’t believe so, but it’s been a couple years so things might have changed. You can for sure get one in mTD which is what I use but it’s been so long since I’ve done traditional that I’m not certain if getting a solo table would be possible.

    How did you reserve a window table?  Cruise Planner as well?

    As far as I am aware of you cannot reserve a window table, but perhaps others know of a way where you can. As far as my experience goes, You would just wait and see what table is available for you. Thanks
