Actual Bar with Bartender in Lounge?

[Keiffer-b]

Just returned from a nice sailing on Serenade out of Tampa. Being Suite guests plus Diamond we used the Suite Lounge/Concierge Club almost every afternoon & evening.

I’ve never seen this before but there was an actual bar in the CC which had a bartender plus an assistant daily from 5-8pm.  It was wonderful,  our last sailing on the Independence in June had service by a bartender from a nearby bar but he simply went in and out.  This person learned our drink choices, made small talk, overall a lovely experience.

Anyone know of other ships that offer similar bar setup for either CC or Diamond Lounge?  Extra bonus points, the bartender didn’t use our vouchers!

Radiance class, so Radiance, Brilliance, Jewel and Serenade. 

As a solo cruiser I've always appreciated this feature of the Radiance class CL/SL.  It makes it much easier for a solo guest to make new friends.

Only problem post-covid with the ships that have a bar is that you get stuck with the old school suite bar menu.

Suite lounge on Harmony had a bar. If you’re a suite guest, you get free drinks. That’s why they didn’t use your vouchers

But most ships don't have a bar in the suite lounge. Pre-covid they'd wheel in a temporary bar for the happy hour. Since then they just have servers grab drinks from the Viking lounge bar.
