aliciajayn Posted October 31, 2016 #226 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) excited to hear you are enjoying the R bar - we are loyal alchemy bar patrons on carnival (but really, bar fly is more like it!) and are hoping R bar fills the same need for great cocktails with great company from the mixologists. if possible, could you snap a photo of the R bar menu the next time you are there? would love to get an idea of what we can expect!

wolfganghowell Posted October 31, 2016 #227 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Great info. I note with some dismay that there is no entertainment in the pub. Smooth move on Royal - they cancelled Derek Lewis so we get nada. :( Other than that, thank you. (I'm getting all my whiney comments over before I board. :D ) So glad you like Sabor - it has become our favorite specialty. And agreed, we like the all inclusive option and setting better than the Oasis setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 31, 2016 #228 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The R Bar has a very limited menu, but they can make anything you want. I have it on good authority that the "Melvintini" is great...assuming Melvin is still at the R Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got off Liberty on the 30th - the R bar was our favorite - love Melvin, Raj and Anna! The R Bar is true mixology - tell them what you like and they will create something for you. We had so much fun we did the Martini Tasting twice! If you like something with a little heat ask Melvin to make you a Christini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DW has forbidden me to enter that area for the next 6 months. I do wish they would open up that deck outside the DL. It was one of our favorite places the last time we were on Liberty.

BugsyCruiser Posted October 31, 2016 Author #232 Share Posted October 31, 2016 For anyone who has asked or was wondering about the deck 6 aft balconies. I would not book these as the view aft is not very good and privacy would be a big issue. From my balcony on deck 7 I am able to look right down into those balconies: Sent from Samsung Galaxy Note 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliciajayn Posted October 31, 2016 #233 Share Posted October 31, 2016 thanks for the feedback on R bar, all! i'm excited that it's the kind of place where you can tell them what flavors you like and they'll create something just for you - some of my favorite cocktails of all time came from that exact experience at carnival's alchemy bar!

Cindy Posted October 31, 2016 #236 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Great info. I note with some dismay that there is no entertainment in the pub.

(I'm getting all my whiney comments over before I board. :D ) So glad you like Sabor - it has become our favorite specialty. And agreed, we like the all inclusive option and setting better than the Oasis setup. I thought the absence of pub entertainment was very noticeable last week.:( I was talking to a member of the CD staff before Saturday Night Fever, and he agreed with me. It's been a year and a half since our last Royal Caribbean cruise, and I thought the changes in entertainment were very obvious. We're more into entertainment in small venues than things like comedians in the theater, and so the change is going to have more of an impact on us than others. On a more positive entertainment note, in the same conversation I learned Phil Anderson should be on until some time in December.:) I also thought the ice show was the best I've seen, and Saturday Night Fever was outstanding!

Blizzard54 Posted October 31, 2016 #238 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It was expected that John Blair was taking over as CD this week. From your compasses it appears he did not. Can you find out if and when that will be happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdthird Posted October 31, 2016 #240 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Ask Melvin, Anna or Raj to make you an Orange Rosemary Martini or a Watermellon Basil Martini at the R Bar. Take the Martini class if you can...it was fantastic. Look for Arminda at the Schooner Bar as she's great too and will make you a great drink.
