detroitlions Posted March 2, 2017 #27 Share Posted March 2, 2017 There are some good drinks on the list but just like any vacation I would for the most part stick to what you normally consume and only try different ones on occasion. There are a lot of premix and sugary drinks on the list that will make you feel a little crappy the next day. When you get on board you check out the drink lists you will know for the most part what your going to like or not by the ingredients . Plus there has been all this posted on here for the last 3 or 4 years all the folks that came over to NCL from CCL and RC get all giddy over the fact of the UBP for free instead of paying for it . In actuality I would not cruise NCL if I had to pay for it they charge way more than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cage keeper Posted March 2, 2017 #29 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I tried a few new ones last trip, Honey Lemonade, Grass Clippings.Both were very good. janymac Hubby had the Honey lemonade on BA two years ago. Now that is his #1 drink. I buy lots of JD Honey and Wild Turkey Honey Sting. He loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-line Posted March 2, 2017 #34 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I had a friend recently on the Escape and was told they no longer can make the Cagney's Speakeasy because they can no longer get one of the ingredients. Has anyone else had a Speakeasy recently?, it really is may favorite drink on NCL. I had one in January at Cagney's. I don't think it was on the menu - I ordered it because I'd read about it online. My waiter seemed unsure when I ordered it, but he came out with a drink that looked like what I was expecting. So... I ordered a Speakeasy and got a drink, but I hadn't had it before so nothing to compare to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinelmo Posted March 2, 2017 #35 Share Posted March 2, 2017 So I've seen a lot of comments in discussions that the drink package allows you to sample cocktails that you wouldn't normally try. I like that. Any suggestions of some drinks to try? Obviously there are the specialty drinks on the menus... but perhaps some others as well. Share your favorites! :cool: I have been monitoring the boards for a while and based on the responses I put together the attached list. Hope it helps.

First time for an August cruise with family. Should be interesting. The UBP should come in handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is in August. First time for an August cruise with family. Should be interesting. The UBP should come in handy! Yep understood pics are always nice to look at and Card Fan did a nice job on that one. Quick note: IMO some of the bartenders get a little put off when you whip out a long list of drinks with pictures and may push back a little bit and/or deny some of the recipe requests. They really don't care about the pics as all they really want to know is "what ingredients do I need to make this drink and how much?" I printed both lists of course my own and Card Fan's. Result is that I kept the long list with pictures in my lounge chair and brought my spreadsheet list to the bar when ordering. Never had any bartender turn me down for any of the drinks on the list UNLESS they didn't have the particular "spirit" or "liquer" at that particular bar. In which case you can just try one of the other larger bars on board like the atrium or MIXX bar on Escape. Good luck and beat that list up!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
