Hello... about drinking...


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  I am new here.  In fact, I just signed up to this forum four minutes ago.  This after browsing for a little while.  Looks like a great deal of information from experienced folks.  Way to go!

I have never been on a cruise ship, of any sort.  But, one day I will.  I've seen some interesting videos that talk about the ALLURE, OASIS, SYMPHONY, and such.  I think if I do go... I want to be on one of the biggies! 

Okay, let me get to my question.  Regarding drinking.  If I order a pina colada, will someone there be making one in a blender?  Y'know, a really really good pina colada?  Just asking.  Here, in Las Vegas, most of the casinos (and, some restaurants too) just have the slushy machines & they throw in a shot of rum.  They're very so-so.  But, they let a bartender make a pina colada in five seconds.  Blah.

Anyhow, this is my first post... sorry if it was too wordy.  Thank you!!!

Yes, it will be made for the most part individually in a blender. Sometimes if multiple people order one they might make a larger batch, still it is blender made.

Also some ships and even bartenders might blend in rum then add a floater while other might just add the rum to the bottom of a glass then added the blended drink on top of it. 

 

Also, welcome to the boards!

The Pina Coladas are "GOOD" but they just come from the pre-mix sugary ISLAND OASIS carton.  And yes it only takes a few seconds to dump a bunch of ice into a blender with a lot of the mix and have your drink ready.

Changed over to Sunsational over a year ago. Still it is a carton of sugary frozen drink mix...

Be aware that Royal now uses plastic straws..so bring your own from home if that will bother you...they get soggy really fast in frozen drinks!

Was that a typo? Did you mean PAPER straws?

My plastic straws never get soggy. I chew on them a lot, but that's another story...

I found these adorable silicone straws on Amazon that are collapsible and pack in this cute little pill shaped tube thing for easy bringing your straw with you.    So I picked up 4 so that we will have eco friendly straws that travel small and can be put in a purse or pocket.  They can be boiled to clean them, its safe to put in the dishwasher at home as well to clean.  I just intend to clean my straws in the sink in my room with some hot water.

Okay... umm, a paper straw?  How can you drink a drink with a paper straw!?

(rolling my eyes here)

Thanks for the advice.  When I do take my first ever cruise, I will pack some NORMAL straws in my carry-on.

We had no problems with the paper straws last month on Grandeur.  We only had a few frozen drinks, but not once did they start to fall apart.  Maybe we just drink our drinks too quickly. ? We don't usually use a straw for anything other than the frozen drinks.  We brought our own metal straws with a cleaning brush, and they never left the cabin.
