BigKeith Posted March 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I seem to drink differently when cruising compared to what I drink at home. Not really a lager (beer) drinker but quite like bottles of Corona when cruising. Maybe because it seems more refreshing in the sun. Obviously, I'll only drink cocktails when cruising (would seem strange drinking them in Slough) and I drink whiskey when cruising, something I don't really often do when going out at home. Anyone else change their drinking habits when cruising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted March 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I llike wine but on a cruise I have a treat mojito or two. There is so much sugar/calories in them, I rarely have them but a few on a cruise are special. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michmike Posted March 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2012 We rarely drink at home or even when out to dinner. But a cruise wouldn't be a cruise w/o my nightly pre-dinner Old Fashioned in the Ocean Bar. A fella has to get his daily fruit intake. *S* Cosmo for the wife.

chipmaster Posted March 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Same thing we do at home, nice its cheap and free there and at home too :D We were entertained on our current and past vacations as to the amount of sugery stuff drank by many morning to night, by people that were umm how should I say had an abundance of calories too..

griffy116 Posted March 27, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Any drink that comes with an umbrella in it or served in a coconut shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Beer most of the time....vodka tonics at dinner. Not a fan of the "fruity, rich" drinks....you can really only drink 1 or 2...they are cloying. Absolutely love Vodka tonics...very refreshing and not too filling!

mrsfuzzmo Posted March 27, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I usually have myself a pina colada as my first drink of the day. Then beer at the pool. I love me a bucket of beer on ice sitting around the pool. In the evenings it's usually a mojito or gin and tonic, as to not get filled up for delicious dinner!! This next cruise I will be having some wine at Vines so that I can have some sushi and tapas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cru1s1ng2009 Posted March 27, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I thought it was just me but I too change my habits. I mean, not only do I drink ALOT more I also go for the fruity pretty stuff. I usually drink beer and vodka at home (not together, LOL) but on a cruise I like to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted March 27, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I drink pretty much the same thing, Southern Comfort on the rocks with a twist, or a/some Mojito(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askimdog Posted March 27, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Rum at sea, at times with a bit of coke, often straight up. Beer in Port where it is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tip Posted March 27, 2012 #21 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Coming from a family of alcoholics, I choose not to drink. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those holier than thou types. "The One Who Must Be Obeyed" usually has one fruity alcoholic drink a day and maybe wine with dinner. I tend to like Diet Mr. Dew and try to take a 12 pack along. Believe it or not, I like the ship's tap water and will drink many, many glasses a day at each meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmer Climes Posted March 27, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 27, 2012 At home- red wine and an occasional draft beer. Cruises: mojitos; champagne cocktails and my most recent cruise favorite, white ladies. I also plan to try French 75 cocktail on my next cruise.

kelmac Posted March 28, 2012 #23 Share Posted March 28, 2012 U r too funny. Do u put ur pinky up? They use those really small pedestal martini glasses -- I think I look like Shrek with a baby toy. I can slam down four in 45 minutes; then off to dinner. I'm sure I look totally ridiculous!! (Not the first time):rolleyes: Kel:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessz79 Posted March 28, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Generally, beer during the day (if I drink during the day) and wine in the evening. I've tried the fruity stuff and the older I get, the more I realize they just don't agree with me. Not that I'm very old (early 30's). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
