Not really. Only if I wanted a really bad drink or just to see the "technology" in action would I go see the bionic bartender. The real thing is much more interesting and befriending the bartenders on the various ships we sail on has great consequences on the "strength" of the drinks.

Northstar down will probably be a bigger miss than the bionic bar.

Bionic Bar is definitely one of those "sure seemed like a good idea at the time" bar napkin epiphanies.

Bionic bar was packed on my last Oasis cruise. 

Half of guests on a typical cruise are new to Royal.  Assuming 4,000 to 5,600 guests on Bionic ships that's 2,000 to 2,800 that have never seen it.  Plus there are probably a couple hundred Gold members on their first cruise with a Bionic bar.  So that is 2,200 to 3,000 people for who it is "new" (new to them).  

Considering the hundreds of millions of Americans who have never cruised there is an endless supply of new guests to try it.

I like North Star.  Especially in the sounds of New Zealand or the passages of Alaska.  I still ride every cruise.

Have done both, loved both.  

We would definitely do the Northstar again, and again.  

The Robot Bar was neat and I timed the drink making process from the time I pressed "order" to the time the drink was ready for pick up and it took 48 seconds or so.  I was impressed.
