cruise-y Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 This probably sounds like an odd question - but those of you who cruise RC regularly will know the answer. If I order a specialty drink, like a Mai Tai, which I assume will cost around $10 - $12, will I get a really nice fruity drink with floating dark rum, a maraschino cherry and a pineapple wedge? Or will I get Hawaiian punch and well rum in a plastic cup? I've had the pink guava juice and rum poured out of a much-used gallon jug in the Caribbean before, and I liked it! But it was free and I was on a muddy hike. If I'm having a drink by the ship's pool and paying $$ for it, I expect it to be nice. Also, I know the wines in the dining room are usually pretty good if you buy a bottle or a half bottle. But if I order at a bar, will the wines be limited and yucky? Can I get a Prosecco by the glass? I'm not doing the drink package because I can't drink that much. But I looked at it just to see what wines were offered and none of them looked good to me.

Matt Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 If you order a Mai Tai on the ship, you will more than likely get a fruity drink with dark rum, cherry and a wedge (maybe even an umbrella). Most places make the drinks nicely and there is a level of presentation to it. As an example, I really enjoy bloody mary's, and I order them all over. Some places make it from scratch and others may rely on a mix but in all cases, it comes out with olives, celery and in a nice glass. I do think some bars do it better than others in terms of presentation. If you like a mojito, Boleros does a much better job than other bars.
