Mixing in room drinks!

[CruiseLee104]

I am very excited to be sailing on the Valor 13 days! My sister and I pre-order a white rum and are bring a wine and a bubbly. I am looking for ideas to make this best of my free (sorta) drinks and not get bored! While I do love rum and lemonade, I am not sure I want to drink it none stop. What are the best things to bring as our allowable non-alcoholic drinks vs what is available on the ship? Is orange juice still available in the morning for everyone or is that only with the soda program? Any other juice? I am assuming I can find lemons, limes, oranges, jams, and sugar fairly easily, but do you have any other unique ideas. Must haves to bring besides coke, club soda, and pineapple juice?

They have a passion-fruit guava juice blend that I LOVE... it's great with rum, vodka, tequila... you name it! But they only serve it at breakfast so it pays to bring a quart jug that you can fill in the morning and keep in your cabin.

I was hoping this was still the case, but couldn't confirm it! Thank you!

Another tip- for a non-alcoholic drink it's awesome mixed with the soft serve vanilla ice cream for an Orange Julius kind of drink- WAY better than plain orange juice. I've never tried adding rum to it but I guess you could!

Last cruise you could still fill a large container with OJ for in cabin but you had to fill it from individual glasses. You could NOT but just place it under the tap and fill it. Likewise, you are not supposed to place a personal drink container/cooler under the tap to fill. You are supposed to fill it from the individual glasses.

ALL of this is NOT to make our lives complicated but to prevent the spread of and ship borne viruses and to keep us all healthy.

I make an adult Creamsicle using our Bon Voyage vodka, orange juice from Lido breakfast and vanilla ice-cream. Oh so good. I drink this by the pool.

I would bring a 12 pack of La Croix sparkling water and a 12 pack of coke. :)

Butterbean thanks for the tip. I’ve never tried mixing alcohol into a cream base (like ice cream) without a blender. Glad to know it works! Now I’ll have to try it with that passion fruit/guava juice blend.

Hi

 

I like to add rum (or Bourbon) to my coffee. If I top it with the soft ice cream and

drizzle just a little more alcohol on top of the ice cream

, I consider it a "specialty" coffee . :D

That passion fruit would be great with rum... good call!!!

We always get the bottomless bubbles to use for mixers.

I did consider this, but feel like I can get by without it for the most part. Is it something you can purchase for the last two days or is it an all or nothing?

If you carry it on the ship, each passenger can bring on 12-12 oz. unopened cans or cartons of juice. Canned juice or juice boxes would make good mixers with rum.

Yep I plan on it! I am more so worried about maximizing this. For example I don’t want to bring orange juice if I can get it in the morning for from the lido. Thanks for the link though.

I bet that would be good, too. I'll try that on my next cruise (in 19 days!)?

I think for variety, I would bring some thing like Izzy or simply canned mixers like for a hurricane or daiquiri. I have seen those at Total Wine and I'm sure you could find them other places too. Nothing says you each have to bring 12 of the same thing either.

 

You could also do a "grown up shake" with any flavor of ice cream and stir your rum into it.

There is a brand of mixers called Mixwell. They have a pretty good variety and come in 12 oz cans. That would be a good way to be able to not be stuck with n one flavor combo.

 

 

Sorry for being repetitive. My post above didn't show up for me. Anyway, this is the brand I was thinking of. I read you can get it at some Targets and Walmarts too.

I had never heard of those! That is exactly what I am looking for. I live in a pretty rural area but maybe I can find some on my way through Houston.
