iamjohnbamber Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Anyone going on Oasis, I have both a tip and a request for you... Last week I was on an incredible cruise, on which I was exposed to an awesomely tasty (and somewhat myserious) drink, known as..."The Lindell Special" It was one of those "don't ask what's in it, just drink it" - it's HEAVENLY. It looks similar to a Rum Runner, but it isn't. You can get one by finding a server on the pool deck named Lindell Christie (from Jamaica) - he seems to be the only one who can make this drink, and you need to find him and order one, and experience it in all its goodness. There's my tip... my question/favor is this: Can you please talk to him, and find out what's in it? I asked him once, but after having a few in me already I didn't remember (or write down) what he said it was. He had no problem talking about what was in the drink, but I wasn't smart (or sober) enough to make note of it. All I remember was rum, banana, mango, and either blueberry or strawberry, I'm just not sure. So... your mission, should you choose to accept it... is to find Lindell Christie on the Pool Deck of the Oasis, get a Lindell Special (or 2, 3, or 10), and find out what's in it and report back!

If you can, get a photo of Mr. Lindell so it will be easy for us to recognize him on our Nov sailing. hallyluhopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestingBird Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Dag. If all goes as planned (rarely does), I won't be on Oasis until April 2019 ?. Hopefully Mr. Lindell will have passed on his recipe to the up-and-coming bartenders. hallyluhopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l9dance Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 He walks with a bottle of rum balanced on his head! You can't miss him! I was on Oasis last week on the Aug 20th Eclipse sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
