Jack805 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Since I don't see this one listed, let's open this one up! Booked on this sailing to be Part 1 of my B2B with the 7 Night Cabo/Mazatlan/Vallarta sailing on Sep 29 after as Part 2. The extra sea day (and cheaper sailing) led me to choose these dates for the pair to maximize my time enjoying the trip.

GoldenTimeHero Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'll be on this sailing as well. It will be my first solo cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack805 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Welcome to the cruise @GoldenTimeHero! I'll be solo as well for this one. And this is now officially my next cruise since I just got off of Vision yesterday as we brought her into Baltimore. Only 136 days to go...

GoldenTimeHero Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 We should meet up for a drink while on the ship. How was Vision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack805 Posted June 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Apologies @GoldenTimeHero, I unfortunately didn't see your reply until today... But that can be good to do. I always find myself being drawn to Schooner Bar for drinks and do enjoy the bartenders there. Vision was great though, it was a smaller, older ship but has a great crew and is well taken care of. I actually just booked a 13 night on Vision for January, so looking forward to sailing on her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenTimeHero Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 @Jack805 It's all good lol. I like the trivia at Schooner so I'll most likely be there. I do want to check out the Tiki themed bar. What are your go to drinks at Schooner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack805 Posted June 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 @GoldenTimeHero I tend to hit a few of the trivia sessions at Schooner throughout the cruise - especially morning and evening (post-breakfast and pre-late seating dinner) with some others sprinkled in. Bamboo Room is a nice spot too, especially with only two in the entire fleet. Haven’t tried the signature cocktails there (mostly because they’re just above drink package coverage price, and not wanting to pay the even small amount extra), but was impressed seeing they have different styles of ice for different drinks (have seen crushed and large cubes for drinks at Bamboo) Go-to drinks vary depending on taste and mood at the time, but Schooner bartenders on Navigator have always treated me well and served a good drink, especially since I keep coming back. Though as the evening goes on I tend to shift toward something to sip and enjoy, so often I end the night with bourbon either neat or on the rocks.

GoldenTimeHero Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 @Jack805I was given a mission by a buddy of mine to grab a tiki mug from them. Last cruise I was on, I tried the lavender daiquiri at Schooner. it was....interesting. I can see how that would be someone's jam. The past two cruises my first drink has been the mango lava flow with kraken. My drink of choice is the hennessy margarita. I know that sounds like a strange combo but its a really tasty drink.

Jack805 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Sounds like a good mission. I just added on the 4 night about 3 weeks before this sailing, so I can try and scope out the tiki mugs for you if you want. And Hennessy margarita doesn’t sound too strange to me, but more like a variation of a Cadillac margarita (which surprisingly most bartenders on board didn’t know by name, but when I said take a margarita and add a Grand Marnier float they did that just fine). I might also have to give a Mastercard a try since I just found out about that one too - mango and strawberry daiquiris combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenTimeHero Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 @Jack805Dude I don't know how I didn't see this way back in June. About the Tiki mugs, any info you can get, I'll appreciate it. Let me know how the Mastercard is. It sound tasty just from your description. We'll have to try some on the sailing.

Jack805 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 @GoldenTimeHero Well now it was my turn for a delayed reply since I haven’t been on the boards in a bit, but excited for tomorrow to be back on board! I had a great time on my “teaser” trip a few weeks back, and the new Schooner menu has a few tasty beverages on there. Bummed “my” bartenders who took really good care of us a couple weeks ago won’t be there - they let a bunch of people go back home a couple weeks early if they had 6+ months on the contract, they said it was so they could get more on for a full contract before the February dry dock. So hopefully I find good bartenders, especially since this is leg one of by B2B. GoldenTimeHero and WAYNO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack805 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 But I’m sure there’s a good chance I’ll still be found at Schooner a lot during the cruise. WAYNO and GoldenTimeHero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
