hawkeye65 Posted May 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I posted this question way down below where it's never going to be seen. Forgive the duplication if it does get bumped up. I have a question about pre-dinner time in the lounge. I don't have much of a head for alcohol. If I have a pre-dinner drink and the wine flows freely in the dining room, it's not likely to end well for me. I can't be the only one with this problem. To complicate matters, I don't like sodas. What else is there for Happy Hour? Will I be the only one with empty hands? Please advise. Sent from my SM-T350 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVilleGal Posted May 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Nice big glass of water on the rocks with a twist of lime :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Kat Posted May 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2017 What did you have in mind? If you don't want alcohol and you don't want soda, there's water as JVilleGal suggests or they could probably serve you orange juice or possibly iced tea. They had some interesting iced teas at lunch. And there's coffee and hot tea from the coffee bar 24/7. I always just had a glass of wine.

Floridiana Posted May 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Like I said before in the other thread, the non-alcoholic summer drinks of choice in Germany and Austria are local fruit juices mixed with sparkling mineral water: apple, red or black currant and rhubarb. Apple is the most popular and always available on shore, hopefully on a ship on European rivers as well. If not, it is sad, but then they should have sweet and unsweet ice tea.

Rare molymoo Posted May 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We have done several river cruises with Viking and although we generally enjoyed a glass of wine in the lounge before dinner, we occasionally preferred to wait until the meal. In those cases there are a variety of non-alcoholic beverages available at the bar or you an simply visit the coffee station for a cup of tea, coffee or ice water. It is readily available at all hours and free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted May 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Or you just chat with people without a drink in your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted May 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2017 On Scenic there is always a non alcoholic cocktail of the day but if you want a longer drink small amount of fruit juice in a tall beer glass topped up with water very refreshing.

Rare Roz Posted May 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Mineral water, perhaps? Quite honestly, I never paid attention to who was drinking what, and if they were even drinking. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
