abbyar Posted December 2, 2016 #526 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Off the Jade Thanksgiving. LOVED the Mr Worldwide. Had no problem substituting Titos Vodka. Also ordered off menu a few times, and generally didn't have problems except at restaurants (Dh tried to order the speakeasy at Cagney's and had no luck). The Mr WWs were highly addictive and rather potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie008 Posted December 2, 2016 #527 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Off the Jade Thanksgiving. LOVED the Mr Worldwide. Had no problem substituting Titos Vodka. Also ordered off menu a few times, and generally didn't have problems except at restaurants (Dh tried to order the speakeasy at Cagney's and had no luck). The Mr WWs were highly addictive and rather potent. I was excited about trying the Mr WW (the ingredients are perfect for me!) - ordered it once and was given a plastic tumbler full of red mushy ice basically - no taste - no hit - needless to say I never tried it again :( It was Stoli vodka on the menu which I was happy to go with. Perhaps once the ship hit USA it resumed regular service - I did two Celebrity cruises in between my last NCL cruise 12 months ago - and 100% can say that the drinks on our Jade TA were absolutely nowhere like the offerings on the NCL cruise 12 months earlier (and nothing remotely like Celebrity!) - Total change from 12 months previous. The menus have been cut short by a long chalk - and the availability of actual alcohol at each bar was limited. The bars seem loaded with pre made frozen creamy drinks and cocktails - packed with sugar and/or fruit juices. Was it because it was a TA cruise? Will see what others report back. It wont stop me cruising NCL - still think its great value - and I love their ships - I am just careful now to order the right drink that wont go to waste.

DominicAUS Posted December 5, 2016 #528 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Did I miss where it said that cosmos were not included? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I'm sure I saw it on the menu as $17.95 plus tip. I'm sure it was with High end vodka. I'm hoping they'll make it with grey goose. If not freshly made long islands it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted December 5, 2016 #529 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm sure I saw it on the menu as $17.95 plus tip. I'm sure it was with High end vodka. I'm hoping they'll make it with grey goose. If not freshly made long islands it is. The 17.95 on is made with Ciroc. It has been reported on the boards that YMMV regarding bartender's going off of the list and substituting to make it compliant with the UBP. Usually a tip will take care of things. A worse case scenario is to try a different bar to get what you want accomplished. Just remember that Grey Goose is covered under the UBP, while the flavored versions are not. Makes about as much sense as charging 17.95 for a Dark n Stormy, but it's been reported that the Bermuda authorities had a conniption about it and the price was reduced.

CardFanDubG Posted January 4, 2017 #533 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I created a report of beverages mentioned on CC for our last cruise. Found it to be very useful and wanted to share. We are planning on using it again in about 80 days on the Escape. Here is the LINK to the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardFanDubG Posted January 5, 2017 #536 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Can you get a Toro Toro on the the Epic. This sounds really good. Not been on the Epic so not sure. I found last cruise, if the bartender had not heard of the drink they were willing to attempt it if they had the ingredients. I just showed them the report. This was especially true if it was a bartender that I had tipped earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissRabbit Posted January 23, 2017 #539 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) The 17.95 on is made with Ciroc. It has been reported on the boards that YMMV regarding bartender's going off of the list and substituting to make it compliant with the UBP. Usually a tip will take care of things.

Makes about as much sense as charging 17.95 for a Dark n Stormy, but it's been reported that the Bermuda authorities had a conniption about it and the price was reduced. On the Escape in aug/Sept, we put the UBP to good use. Here were the things we experienced: - every bar we went to the bartenders were willing to go off menu and make whatever drink we wanted. - we had flip cards for drinks. There were a couple drinks they couldn't make, only because they lacked the ingredients. Otherwise, they made them. - several times, we gave them a tip and a challenge. Make something bkue, frozen, no pineapple nor coconut. A couple ladies in the atrium bar and cowboy in the 5 o'clock somewhere bar were Gung ho to do it. - we tried ordering >$15 drinks substituting for a non top shelf liquor. No joy. - ordering a vodka/cranberry gets you a Russian standard vodka, but if you say Grey Goose by name, that's what you get. -word to the wise... never ever ever order a Grass Clippings from Tobacco Road! Ever. Lol -lastly..there were 3 of us in the party. We had to show our ubp cards only once at each new bar. The rest of the cruise, they'd take 1 of our cards and ring all 3 drinks in. Also we would sometimes get drinks and shots at the same time. 1 card. -Ok one more thing... if you keep ordering WooWoo shots from cowboy at 5 o'clock, he starts turning those shots into full size plastic glass size!

chilli79 Posted January 25, 2017 #549 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That's a challange for my cruise coming up on the pearl if that drink list is on the pearl aswell. To try and have ever drink on that list. It's a total of 67 drinks over 7days it could be a push but might be a fun challange between my friends going to c how many we can tick off.
