Mocktails

When in the Course of human event it becomes necessary for one to say farewell to alcohol, I am told that there is always the Mocktail. Would a Mocktail entail the makings of a Bloody Mary or a Caesar without the Vodka? How would one order such a drink?

You would ask for a "Virgin Bloody Mary" or whatever mocktail you desire/

And purchase the "Soda and More" package which permits unlimited mocktails. The package is currently $8.05; each mocktail is about $5.

Thanks for this good advice. And confirming the ordering I assume just placing the word "virgin" with the drink name makes it alcohol free.

Yep. Princess has a Mocktail Menu but it's very limited. You are not confined to their list. To me, the Unlimited Soda and More package is probably the best value on the ship. $8.05 per day (including the gratuity) is a great price. Have a virgin Bloody Mary, a Nojito, a Strawberry Daiquiri, Pina Colada, or whatever. I like what I call "And Tonic". Gin and Tonic without the Gin. Tonic and lime is really quite a refreshing drink. Pretty much any drink you can think of can be made sans alcohol.

Absolutely. They have a "menu" of mocktails, but they will make any drink "virgin" for you and it counts in the package. Also, if there is something you like, talk to the bartender when he isn't busy--they will do come creative things. The only thing is that they don't always put the frou-frou mocktails in the fancy glass like they do the real ones.

The Key West Cooler is a heck of a drink on the mocktail menu. The virgin Pina Colada is good too!

I really like the chocolate banana one. I think it's called "dirty banana "?

If all you want is an olive, ask for a Virgin Martini.

Haha. DH frequently orders club soda or sparkling water with lime./quote]

 

Thanks all. I had always thought that the name Moctail implied a children's drink.

Great to know about the soda and more package.

Last question: Do all occupants of the cabin have to purchase one soda package each

No they don't.

Funny - I think of things like a Shirley Temple as a kids drink...mocktail and “virgin” have always suggested to me adult beverage minus alcohol.

 

You can also do punch based drinks without the alcohol. Yes, there are drinks such as martinis or Long Island iced teas that would not make sense to order as virgin but many great drinks can be made without alcohol. If you ever sail Carnival and have the pleasure of the Alchemy Bar, they make fantastic non alcoholic creations from their stocks of juices, syrups, fruits, veggies, herbs and spices!

They will have a lis in the drinks menu, anything else you want ask, you may even need to tell them what to include, but they will do their best to make it.

The key west cooler and tropical blend are my personal favorites.

I think the sticker has gone now, if anyone can confirm this. Do they swipe your card everytime you order a soda.

Sticker is gone now. If they recognize you, they don't swipe the sticker for soda.

While we are on this subject, I too need a break from alcohol.

Do any of the bars sell Pelegrino sparkling water?

Pellegrino and Perrier at all/most bars - about $3 for a 350 ml

with the PBP , I would get a beer/wine/scotch and a Pell or Perr almost every time...only once did I get charged for ordering "2 drinks at the same time"

meh...

It’s “chockobanana”

Sticker is gone, it is all on the card. It isn't even a "recognize you" thing. Some locations swiped card each time, others never swiped card for a soda, even the first time. Of course the fact that you offer the card and say that you have the package is probably a tip off to them that you really do.

Daughter was swiped each time for a mocktail.
