TheGinBoy Posted May 19, 2017 #27 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I love a strong drink. But then my drink of choice is a dry gin martini... (basically just ice cold neat gin with a twist of lemon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted May 19, 2017 #28 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I watch my drinks being made cuz I'm interested in how they do it and on our last month cruise on Liberty, they did use a shot glass, but poured until it overflowed by a bunch. I also ordered several doubles and they poured the same shot twice. I have never had a deliberately weakened drink on any RCCL ship. Got my buzz on whenever and where ever.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallOfPromise Posted May 19, 2017 #29 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If they use a shot glass, wouldn't that be considered a standard 1.5 oz pour? I wouldn't consider that weak... but rather standard. Unless some people consider anything other than strong to be weak. In Vegas, comped drinks are starting to show up with a 1.2 oz or less pour. Now that is what I consider weak!

TheGinBoy Posted May 19, 2017 #30 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I mean.... have you tried specifying you want it stronger? In the UK if you go to the bar and ask for "a gin and tonic, please" will more than likely get you a single shot of gin and some tonic water. If you want a double you ask for a "double gin and tonic" or a "large gin and tonic". I ALWAYS specify a "large gin and tonic" ;) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a shot glass would be at least 1.5oz. I have seen them use a jigger which would also likely be 1.5oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted May 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Bummer! To date, all of my drinks have been perfect... Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merly Posted May 19, 2017 #33 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We have always had to ask for our drinks to not be so strong! Would be on the floor otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted May 19, 2017 #34 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I like strong drinks, since we get package I sometimes will get a extra shot with my wife's card to add to my drink, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted May 20, 2017 #35 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just be nice to people. All it takes. Plus buying a liter of vodka on the last night of a B2B. [emoji2] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app So very true John. Also have never ever had a weak drink in the CL or the casino, come to think of it have never had a weak drink period on RCL. Will be on Grandeur in August hope to dispel this fantasy regarding weak drinks....K.O.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphingirl47 Posted May 20, 2017 #36 Share Posted May 20, 2017 just got off the 24 night Trans-Pacific on Explorer and the drinks were weak. The drinks were measured but if I had tipped the bar staff sometimes they'd do an extra squirt, nothing more. The pricing was ridiculous. Royal Signature cocktails were $17, Royal cocktails were $14, and favorites were $11-$11.50. Then there was the pre-mixed crap that sold for $8.50. This was the Cosmo and Jack 'n Coke among others, they poured it out of a plastic jug. It just goes to show how different perceptions can be. We were on the same cruise and I found most cocktails way too strong. They tasted like pure alcohol and I could not taste the other ingredients.

Jarmo Posted May 20, 2017 #37 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I had no problem with a week drinking on Grandeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGinBoy Posted May 21, 2017 #38 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Am aboard Freedom in the Mediterranean. They're using "Jiggers" (shot measures with one half a single shot, the other half a double shot). But then they're free pouring into the drinks after. So it's all good. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
