Christie Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I know Matt does this with his guests on the show, but I thought it would be fun on here. So, what's your favorite drink while on a RCI cruise? Mine would be the cucumber martini from 150 Central Park Matt and DocLC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have a made-up drink...a piña colada made with amaretto instead of rum. It's like liquid candy ! DocLC and Michel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarney Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I had some sort of Mango-Habanero mojito-like concoction in the Schooner Bar on Jewel that was quite memorable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 You're so adventurous Sometimes it's hard to go wrong with a classic. Also, the frozen mojito is pretty darn good too. J_Keeble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarney Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Agreed: https://goo.gl/PdXROk Since I've only sailed in the Caribbean, I'll stick with rum - Ron_Zacapa_Centenario_23_anos.jpg Yeah, I know it's Guatemalan, but it was available on Oasis, and since my all time favorite was Mount Gay's Tricentennial http://www.rumgallery.com/_Media/image-16.tiff costs as much as a cruise itself ... I'll 'suffer' with Ron Zacapa. I have a few rum drink recipes at my "blog" at http://blog.billcarney.com ("blog" in quotes as it's more like just to place to store stuff I find interesting).

monctonguy Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Frozen Mojito.....its my tradition...first drink when I get on the ship, head to the pool bar or sky bar and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arebee Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 The first one.... My first drink is always a long island ice tea (usually from the solarium bar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLA Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm not huge on cocktails and generally stick to beer.. but on my last cruise, I tried the Grand Sangria from Boleros. Yumm! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhm0204 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 That is why I am getting the Beverage Package, I plan on trying many of the drinks RCL offers on my cruise - if I don't like them -- I can throw them out and move onto the next one!! Can't wait to get to try so many drinks without feeling pressure to finish the not so good ones because I paid $12 for them!!

Adam P. Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Miami Vice!! (Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri) Made as is is just fine, but we prefer it made with Malibu. SOOO amazing.. :P 51 days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2mybugs Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ok, so im getting the drink pkg too for freedom in march. When i was on vision last year, i didn't see a lot of drink menus anywhere. Do they have them out floating around? Or should you ask the bartender? I tend to the tried and trues because i just don't think of new ones! Hey also...prob. won't do many angry orchards this trip since i have the drink pkg, but when i go in august im not getting the pkg. Last time i cruised i bought the soft cooler that you could get fill with beer or cider for a cheaper prce. Do they still offer that?

lildawgscottFL Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Usually I'm a Whisky man - Scotch Whisky to be precise. On board, however, I simply cannot resist the Death By Chocolate Collins at the R Bar. I also have a Caipirinha tradition at Boleros. I must have at a least one Caipirinha per cruise. A new tradition is to have a Pina Colada made with Malibu, to be enjoyed in the Solarium hot tub! Preferably, we like to have it on boarding day before anyone else finds out about the Solarium hot tub. If we can be relaxing and imbibing before noon, we've won! Also, Scotch.

Michael Vitale Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's funny isn't it, I drink nothing but whiskey, Scotch or Canadian, and wouldn't dream of ordering an umbrella drink,, except on a cruise !!!

Yes, the drinks are charged at regular bar pricing just like in the main dining room. Of course, if you have purchased one of the beverage packages, that will work here.

They were good, he would never let me try the same one twice, always needed to try a new one. Him and his wife called Royal to see what the scotch selection was only to be disappointed. But once on board they found some of their favorats in the Champagne Bar, which made them very happy. lildawgscottFL and KLA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Coke Zero, with ice. Never found alcohol to be of any interest. Want to be in 100% control of myself. And when I was flying wanted to be able to fly, even on short notice. One of the first things drilled into your head in flight school is 12 hours bottle to throttle. Even after I stop flying never wanted to lose control. But no problem if others want to enjoy alcoholic drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Coke Zero, with ice. Never found alcohol to be of any interest. Throw in a couple of specialty coffees along with the Coke Zeros and I'm in complete agreement with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerel Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think next cruise I'll drink mainly beer. Tried many many frozen drinks and all were good. But not used to sugary drinks, after a couple days of them they can take a toll. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Drinks in the Casinos is like when the airlines offer free airfare. Somehow in the end when the extras and associated charges are added free always seems to have a big cost.... and not look free.

Are you saying free isn't always free? ;) I also like when they advertise something as complimentary. Is it really complimentary if it's included in our cruise fare?
