Diamond Lounge Drinks

[gramy]

What are your favorite drinks to order in the Diamond Lounge?

[Firefighterhoop]

Vodka Sprite

 

Sometimes, and only sometimes they will make a Appletini and that is always good, but definitely never expected, as it is only every now and then on some ships.

Corona for me.

 

If they actually had vodka that I like (Tito's, Grey Goose, Ketel One, Belvedere) then I would go vodka & soda with a lime. But since they don't I just go Corona.

We recently got off the Explorer and they had a cocktail menu in the DL as well as the usual offerings, I was able to have a Lemon Drop, a Cosmo and a Long island iced tea, I did see Martinis on the menu too.

I usually drink wine (sometimes the sparkling or a mimosa) but have occasionally had a lemon drop or cosmo. Oh, and I've had rum punch a couple of times. DH drinks screwdrivers so he's happy. I don't drink martinis but I have seen people with them. Just your basic martini, not flavored ones.

Long Island Iced Tea.

We're new diamonds, so this will be our first time trying out the lounge/vouchers for drinks. I like Manhattans and Rob Roys, but unfortunately they don't offer a bourbon on the liquor list, and the scotch is Dewars White, but it will have to do.

Varies by ship. I have seen or had myself various basic and flavored martinis, cosmos. margaritas, and bloody marys as well as mimosas.

[skibee]

I order the Cosmo with a splash of the sweet/sour mix and my husband orders the Bloody Mary in the diamond lounge. We have used our drink vouchers on our last four cruises to order these in other bars if we aren't going to the lounge and never had a problem.

 

We just got off the Allure TA last week and in the Schooner lounge the waitress said the Bloody Mary is no longer on the voucher list but the Cosmo was ok. We went to the Solarium Bar one night and the bartender said the Cosmo was not included in the voucher but ended up making me one. He said it was a new directive because some bars didn't have the cheaper mixers on hand. Has anyone run into this. We ended up just going to one of the diamond lounges to get our drinks.

This is the current drink menu for Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle in the lounges and for drinks with vouchers in other bars.

Manhattan on the rocks.

[flowerlady]

Baileys and diet coke........almost like a NY egg cream with a kick.

[PudgiPoo]

There is no Bourbon. This is my DHs drink. We are not heavy drinkers, but just an aggravation.

[alfaeric]

Manhattan. Can deal with the Jack vs, a rye.

Jameson on the rocks.

[bmac1]

Dewar's and soda

[roquejo]

Corona for me.

 

On my recent sailing with Legend, Corona was not included for the first time. Instead it was replaced by StrongBow.. an Alcoholic cider that I ordered everyday simply because it was not part of the usual Diamond drinks menu...

 

Anyone here knows if any other ship included StrongBow as part of the Diamond drinks aside from the Legend????

 

Also I had the bartender mix me any cocktail he likes throughout the sailing.. so basically got to try them all... and my favorite cocktail is:

 

Mai Tai!!!!

 

for non alcoholic cocktail.. Virgin Bloody Mary with extra Tabasco sauce!!!

 

For the beers on the list, I tried them all and I prefer the Bud.. and for the wine, I always order Sauvignon blanc whenever it is avail as it is not part of the Diamond drinks menu again but it was being offered on my 2 previous sailings.

 

The Beringer White Zinfandel is also nice and sweet.

 

For the hard liquor, I usually order Bailey's.

 

And finally for the red wine... unfortunately so far all the reds I tried that was included in the Diamond drinks are tasteless except for the Shiraz, again not included in the standard menu.. and I did asked the server which of the red wine among the Diamond drinks is the most popular and he confirmed that it was the Shiraz.

 

So actually that Diamond drinks menu is not fixed as it varies from ship to ship and sailing to sailing, it really boils down to what they have in their inventory, if one item is out of stock, they will replace it with something else.

 

One usual thing was Virgin Pina Colada frozen drink was included in the first half of my Voyager sailing but was no longer included on the 2nd half... go figure...

Will have to try a Mai Tai next time if they will make it.

 

I usually can't get anything more complicated than a spirit + one mixer in a bar unless you befriend the bartender.
