Patchy Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Goombay smash! Also the “old” rum punch! (There is apparently some new Rum Punch recipe at Royal that I don’t like as much) TheRick and CruisingOz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooch Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Used to be mine too but I found on our last cruise I just don’t like the fruity frozen drinks anymore. Just too sweet for me. Think I’m m going back to my old college stand by - bourbon and ginger ale. So what bourbon should I ask for? whitsmom and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby Dick Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 I haven't had ginger beer since I was a kid living in Canada (makes me remember Cream Soda, too). I've never had Kraken. So, I guess I've got to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make and sell what I call FAKE Kraken, which is only 80 proof here Yes, it is REAL and authentic but less alcohol by volume. I refuse to buy it here, and always bring back a bottle from the US when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCSC Mike Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Off Harmony this morning and ordered quite a few Kraken Coladas. I'm not a huge rum drinker but I understand why it's so well-liked and I was this past week, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 My go-to "day drink" is always a Dark and Stormy, which should be Gosling's black seal rum with Gosling's ginger beer but non-Caribbean cruises tend to run out of Gosling's. I have found Kraken is a good alternative. NOTE: any suggestions I'm the reason the ship is out of Gosling's is a scurrilous rumor. With some truth to it.
