Not much of a drinker or a bar person outside of holidays, so I wasn't sure if it was just me, but I received a suspiciously weak ice-blended Mojito from the Sky Bar (outdoor main pool) of Quantum.
To be fair, the bartender did agree to replace the drink, even though I had already drunk like 60% of it, I asked him not to blend the ice this time, I tasted it immediately but it still tasted distinctly weak, I told him, and he said ah that's just the soda on top and stirred the drink with a spoon. It didn't taste any stronger after the stirring, and I sort of let him know, but left with the replaced drink.
I described the incident in my post-cruise online survey.
Anyone else ever encounter this? Was it just me?
Wouldn't it be a serious violation of bartender code of ethics or something?
Absolutely. We are on odyssey of the seas right now and it definitely tastes like the drinks are watered down. I normally drink Manhattans and they all have tasted really watery so far.
I wish they just charged more rather than water down the drinks, but I guess this cruise is for the Pina colada, cheap beer crowd. (If they had one beer on this ship that wasn't a light lager, it would be nice.)
We have done a lot of cruising on NCL and Celebrity before. This is our first and last time on Royal Caribbean
