I have my Mahattans up with just a tiny bit of vermouth. My wife drinks chilled Grey Goose vodka up no vermouth. Watching people ordering bourbon and coke dtrivrs me crazy
They have but it is a heck of an up charge plus 18%
Canadian whiskey is not my thing but Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace make fine Manhattans They also usually have Makers Mark just wish they would add Elijah Craig (my go to at home)
Woodford is always within the plus package as is Buffalo Trace. Now for rye very little choice on most cruises there are no great ones at least under $15
We are over 500 days and only make the cut about half the time. We find that Alaska is the easiest to get due to all the families doing the bucket list thing. 7-10 day Mexico seems to be really hard a few months ago out of SF the cut off was over 600
No real difference but giving some cruisers what they have wanted for a long time which is old style traditional dining. That does not pair well with reserve and walk in MDR’s.
That must have been a one off. On the last six ships I have been on the Gastropub did not take reservations and was never busy and the food was not all that great in my opinion
Too big for me and too much ship within a ship concept. Some of us old folks still like the smaller older ships. Most of our cruises are on the Grand class ladies
