cruiserlori Posted October 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2017 We are getting ready for our first cruise as Diamond members. I have done my research and have the list of our three free drinks. I am not a big drinker, beyond a margarita or a mojito, so I'm hoping someone can suggest some ideas of drinks I can order from the Diamond menu. I'm assuming we can get more than just shots of the liquor listed on the menu, right? And, will our 11 year old daughter be able to get a kiddie cocktail of some sort? Do kids get the three drinks as well? Thanks, everyone!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like a Madras (vodka, orange and cranberry juice) or goldeneye (rum, orange and pineapple juice). I usually tell them Madras with a double shot of vodka.

Rare island lady Posted October 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2017 One of the friends we cruise with will order a Rum and cola...with an extra glass of just cola which she adds to her drink to tame it down. Works for her. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesheiml Posted October 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have gotten margaritas and rum punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitzel Posted October 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Jack and Ginger is a nice alternative to Jack and coke (or run and coke). If they have amaretto, amaretto and sprite or amaretto sour is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Tina Posted October 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don't get it, can't you just drink less than 3 (of your favorite drink, e.g. mojito or margarita) if 3 is too much for a "lightweight"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are just fixated on getting all that's coming to them. OP can use one of their vouchers to get their child a soda in a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted October 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Get a Cosmo, they make some pretty good Martinis. Be sure to leave a little tip and your kids will have no problem getting anything they want.. The drinks are unlimited in the lounge, the three drinks loaded onto your seapass card and are good at any bar.. I have always been able to get Makers and coke from the Pub, happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted October 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have heard that Chocolate Martinis are a big thing in the lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L454S Posted October 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have heard that Chocolate Martinis are a big thing in the lounge. Yes they are on some ships. It's just Bailey's and vodka, but in a martini glass decorated with chocolate syrup. I just get a Bailey's on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtampagirl Posted October 22, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We ask for unopened cans of soda and water to take back to our cabin. We have also done that with bottles of beer and Strongbow cider to drink later on Labadee or on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted October 22, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Do they have plain cranberry juice or non-alcoholic fruit punch for those of us who do not drink alcohol? Also, specifically for the Anthem is the DL open while in port or in a tender port? Thanks! MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP can use one of their vouchers to get their child a soda in a bar. Actually my question was seeking advice because I'm not an experienced drinker, beyond margaritas and mojitos, and I'm looking forward to branching out. But thanks for the insult... If you don't have anything nice to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything. No one comes to these boards to be insulted.

Believe me, I can drink the three! I'm a whole lot of fun, at that point! Lol. One will actually probably suit me just fine, but I was just curious as to what to order, since I didn't think I could get my usual drinks in the Diamond Lounge. I'm looking forward to trying the suggestions I've gotten. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DL is available via your key card 24 hours. DL cocktail period is every night, while in port or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks to those kind posters above who have answered my question wonderfully. I’m glad you asked those questions. My DH & I aren’t big drinkers either. We also are not soda drinkers. The appropriate responses are helpful. It’s good to know there are drinks available to try, other than wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickev99 Posted October 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I second the cosmopolitan. I am a “fruity” kind of drinker and that is one of my favorites! Have a great trip!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickev99 Posted October 22, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Oh, lemon drop martini. It is also done as a shot, so specify that you want it as a martini. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markf Posted October 22, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 22, 2017 need some clarity, I thought the diamond lounge offered unlimited drinks for a few hours each evening? where does the 3 drink come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 drink vouchers are in addition to unlimited drinks in the lounge. The vouchers can be used at any bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
