Does anyone know if the drinks (or drink menus) are the same (or similar) fleet wide?

 

We'll be on the Gem in March, and were just wondering.

 

Except for a few drinks in specialty bars/restaurants they are pretty much the same. i.e Escape has District Brewhouse with many more beers than other ships without that bar.

Whoo! Printed this for our upcoming cruise :) Very excited to try some..

 

Le Fizz martini was not on the list! We discovered it a martini tasting on the Gem last year and really enjoyed it. It's elderflower wine, vodka, club soda, and I think a twist of lime juice. Very smooth and not super sweet. Good for sipping at night time :)

Drinks are not the same fleet wide. Most drinks will be found on the bigger newer ships, but the older ships will not have all those drinks listed. I loved the banana banshee on the BA and jolly rancher shots, but couldn't get them on the Gem. We are just off the Epic this month and were very surprised at the difference in the bars. The casino bar made no frozen drinks, O"sheehans only had two frozen drinks (BBC and Bushwacker) and most bars had drinks pre mixed, except for the alcohol part. No worry--we still managed to find tons to drink.

Safe sailing

PS- some of the drinks listed are over the $$ limit allowed with the UBP, and you will have to pay the over amount.

UnaPalomita, I added the Le Fizz martini to the list. As far as some of the drinks being more than $15, I cannot speak to that. That rule was not in effect my last cruise. If it is a drink I really want though, I am willing to pay a few bucks.

 

LINK to the List (same URL as old list - just added the Le Fizz Martini)

Le Fizz martini was not on the menu list on my Nov Getaway cruise and when I went to numerous bars and asked for it, they all claimed they never heard of it. If I had your list, I would have been all set. I couldn't remember the exact ingredients.

On the Escape in aug/Sept, we put the UBP to good use. Here were the things we experienced:

- 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.

-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!

 

Oh how I hope the Epic has "a cowboy" in 10 days! LOL! I'm scrolling like crazy to find something that I read (newbie alert!) they charge sales tax on the drinks at embarkation? Not like 25 cents is a big deal, I just found it curious :-)

Is this full drink menu available on the Sky, which is all-drink-inclusive? Thank you

 

When I was on the Sky this past November I was shocked to see drink menu's everywhere. They did have several drinks premixed, which were not very good. I would just go to a bar that didn't have the drink I wanted premixed. I am referring to mojitos and margaritas mostly.

My understanding is that they charge tax while in US (maybe just Florida? Or Florida and NY) ports. A few extra bucks on the first day was a surprise, but was ok.

It wasn't just the first day-- anytime you are in US ports-- I had about $8 for embarkation and 1 port day where I didn't get off the ship. Between 0.50 and 1.00 per drink.
