SteveH2508 Posted August 16, 2014 #76 Share Posted August 16, 2014 A sweetened liquor with the instilled flavour of herbs found around the Provence region of France where the drink originates, with Marseille being the "capital". Flavour and taste varies from distiller to distiller but the primary/predominant taste is aniseed/liquorice. Drunk with diluted with cold water (1:-5 parts pastis:water) as an aperitif. Possibly better known by its main trade name 'Pernod'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising cockroach Posted August 16, 2014 #77 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Possibly better known by its main trade name 'Pernod'. Other well known brand of pastis is Ricard (same company these days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have a booking number, I took the items from their list and sorted them by liquor type so it is easier to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summersigh Posted March 23, 2015 #90 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) We just sailed and for $44 we pre-ordered a full 1 litre bottle of Crown Royal to be in our cabin when we boarded. For the difference in price it surely wasn't worth attempting to sneak it aboard. We used the "Indulgences" tab for booked guests on the HAL site to find and order it.

dockman Posted March 24, 2015 #91 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Imagine staying in a hotel that searched your bags and confiscated any booze you had?? I certainly understand restricting booze to your room and not public areas but do cruiselines have to turn so many of their guests into smugglers?

summersigh Posted March 24, 2015 #92 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think the intention of the cruise line is to force guests into being smugglers. :) We choose to pay for the alcohol we consume onboard. (except for the bottle of wine allowed for each of us) Profits the cruise lines make on alcohol, the casino, gift shops, pictures etc etc are the things that help keep the cruise fares low even as costs go up. The cost of an Alaska land-sea tour is nearly the same today as it was back when we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare david,Mississauga Posted March 24, 2015 #96 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) [quote name='dockman']Imagine staying in a hotel that searched your bags and confiscated any booze you had?? I certainly understand restricting booze to your room and not public areas but do cruiselines have to turn so many of their guests into smugglers?[/quote] This restriction is a fairly recent practice. Back in the days when cruise lines allowed passengers to benefit from the line's savings on duty-free alcohol few passengers would bother bringing their own. It never occurred to me to bring anything on board when I was paying 25 cents for a gin and tonic or $2 or $3 for a bottle of wine. Cunard, despite being a Carnival company, has the most liberal policy that I am aware of. They quote the same restriction as HAL, then in the next sentence say they don't invoke the rule unless "we consider it likely that the health, comfort, safety and enjoyment of passengers may otherwise be compromised." I know people who routinely bring aboard a case of their favourite wine or scotch. On long distance trains I usually bring aboard some libation for use in our private compartment. VIA Rail doesn't mind as long as you keep it in your accommodation. Edited March 24, 2015 by david,Mississauga typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
