Drcruise Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Can we order frozen drinks in the main dining room? We have always ordered wine with our Deluxe package but never cocktails or mixed drinks. We will be sailing on the Harmony of the Seas in June.

Yes but it often takes a LONG time to get cocktails (of any kind) in the MDR. In fairness, this is often true in the specialty restaunts that do not have their own bars as well. hooked-on-cruising and JennyB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantix2000 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 You can also just grab a frozen drink on the way into the MDR. Or run out and get one at the closest bar in between courses.

GWENSEL Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Does the mdr American Icon grill have its own bar so that we can get our own cocktails without waiting for a drinks server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a mdr that has this. I always stop for a glass of on the way and order a second one immediately before dinner. It usually arrives about perfectly half way through dinner.

twangster Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Some MDR's do have their own bars in the galley but they are not full service bars in the sense that they stock very limited selections. For example on a galley tour I saw this on Navigator: This was at a station in the galley that could locally satisfy basic requests including C&A Diamond happy hour drinks. Anything beyond that including frozen drinks would require fulfillment from the closest full service bar. Newer ships have several behind the scenes "service bars" in addition to the public facing bars we are see (and visit). On this ship in this galley area they could also make certain types of specialty coffee and supply soda/pop orders. So the answer is - like always ...it depends.

GWENSEL Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks for the updates. I guess the best way is to pick up a cocktail or wine on the way to dinner... and then order at table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane I never had problems getting my wine pretty quickly on Mariner, BUT I didn't order anything very obscure - just the one Reisling that they seem to have had widely available. I think I'll employ this strategy on Ovation, though, just to be safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho and Barb Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 We’ve never had a problem getting mixed drinks in the MDR or Chops. It can take a few minutes longer but never really that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
