Took the $$ plunge on the Unlimited Beverage Package, so....What’s your favorite drink?

[Kerry 35]

The Rum Chata Colada!!! I overheard someone order it in front of me on Oasis last summer, and I was a goner.

Thanks for the thread! Writing down all these suggestions. Wife and I don't drink much but let's face it, it's vacation.

 

My issue is I can't drink Pineapple Juice and very little Orange Juice. The acidity is my biggest foe.

What other Island drinks are out there that don't contain these juices????? I'm fine with coconut!

Looking forward to some answers...………. thks!

Frozen options:

  Frozen mojitos are good if you can handle lime..

  Strawberry/mango/banana daquiris...

  BBC/mudslides on the milk-based side of the spectrum.

Royal has a Tokyo Tea which is a long island iced tea they they replace the Coke with Midori, so it gives it a fun, green hue.

Rum swizzle uses grapefruit juice. 

Dark and stormy is rum and ginger beer.

Thanks! Yes I am going to try that Dark n Stormy everyone talks about. No grapefruit juice either. :-(

RCL generally refers to a miami vice as a lava flow, i don't think they actually will make a true lava flow.

Usually a miami vice is half frozen pina colada and half frozen strawberry daiquiri, whereas a lava flow is a pina colada with liquid strawberry swirled in.  

In the end it doesn't really matter, both are tasty and vacation-type drinks.

To be completely honest with you since 90% of the time I would never venture to fruity drinks, I had no idea they were the same thing haha!

I'm more of a IPA kind of guy with the occasional whiskey or bourbon.

That's definitely good to know in case they don't know what that is called I can always resort to the other alternative name then!

GO to the pub, ask for a pint of Cider (if it's on tap) or a bottle of strongbow.  Might have to wait a few minutes (some bartenders wont serve you a shot and a beer).  Get a shot of Fireball, proceed to dump the fireball into the cider.  You now have a cinnamon-y delicious and strong concoction.

This is a traditional Halloween drink around my house.  You can't go wrong with it!

Leaving on Symphony today and looking forward to trying a lot of these drinks I’ve never heard of before!!!

You had me at cider....my favorite....but lost me at cinnamon....I hate cinnamon! Lol.

OH!!!! I just remembered another great drink, as long as your ship has an Izumi on board -- it's called "She's a Geisha", and is a mix of sake, hibiscus and other fruit juice, and I think one or two other things. It was really refreshing when I had it, and was nice to carry around with me and sip as I wandered the ship. This was on Anthem, but I'm pretty sure it's a standard Izumi bar specialty menu drink.

If you're not used to / don't especially like sake, don't worry; the flavor of it is pretty nicely masked by the other ingredients, and from what I understand they use a pretty good sake to begin with.

Wasn’t planning on it, but splurged on the Unlimited Beverage Package for my Mom and I, so now.....what drinks are your must haves (alcoholic or not).  I love coffees, juices/smoothies, wine (but mostly Sauvignon Blanc which I don’t see much available on the menu) and for cocktails - rum, whiskey/bourbon or gin.  Not a big vodka or tequila fan.  TIA!

On our cruise last week, my wife discovered chocolate martinis, and she is not much of a drinker.  So I'd suggest trying one.

[Kerry 35]

Just because I'm a math nerd, I've discovered that by just trying everything recommended so far on this thread, I've paid for almost 1/2 of my drink package. And I haven't even added in my morning Bourbon Mint Mocha. This is going to be fun!!! 🍹🥂🍸🍻 

[StephanieH 22]

If you like the sweeter drinks you can't go wrong with any of these!

Chocolate Martini

Toblerone Martini - tastes just like the candy bar 

White Russian

 

[DandA 227]

A couple drinks we like from the Schooner Bar  Sandy Collins (it's made with Scotch) and the DW likes the Brandy Alexander

Where did you get the toblerone martini???? Too sweet for me but my husband would LOVE this!

[Patricia Harris 5]

My favorite drink is  Miami Vice 

[Apatt08 4]

Do they have cans or bottles of Budweiser on board?

Aluminum bottles.

Are there specific drinks that have been listed you can only get at certain places? I have made an actually list of everything everyone has recommended, and I'm going to try every one of them... just want to make sure I can find them!

A lot of the bars will have a specialty drink menu with drinks that they make at that bar.  You may be able to get them at other bars as well, but I would peruse those menus at each bar to start knocking things off the list.

I bought my wife and I the drink package for our upcoming Navigator cruise and she bought this. lol

 

[Amygs1 12]

I am on board now and definitely need that t-shirt!   Too many fun drinks to try!  So far my absolute favorite is a chocolate martini - yummy!!!  I’ve also tried Lava Flow, Whiskey Sour, Rum Punch, Gin Fizz, Mimosa, Bloody Mary (yuck!) and one of the Collins drinks (that was obviously not so memorable - for whatever reason 🤣). Found the standard Sauvignon Blanc to be serviceable for my wine with dinner. 

[MotleyCruiser 361]

A great drink that'll knock your socks off and tastes great....Red Headed Slut.

 

Jägermeister, peach schnapps, Cranberry juice. You typically get it as a shot but get it on ice. A+

That’s the picture she sent me but it is apparently the same shirt minus the necklace hahaha, I do a ridiculous amount of travel for work and she finds this stuff and orders it so it’s always a surprise when we get to travel together
