FYI, that’s s mixing cup in the background. Didn't know I was administering an alcoholic rorschach test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin13 Posted October 25, 2018 #27 Share Posted October 25, 2018 So can I ask for a extra shot of rum with my frozen drink? I tried this on Carnival with my drink package and they said I would have to pay for it. I said no thanks and ordered a glass of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ukigirl Posted October 26, 2018 #30 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Most bartenders are really cool, get to know them by name and believe me, being polite goes a long way and tip, even a dollar or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sross6019 Posted October 26, 2018 #34 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Will they give you a double shot with the drink package? Last ship, Liberty, they would only allow a single shot and then had to wait "10 minutes" to get another. Said that it would be about the amount of time to reach another bar. Told them that was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it is, is vodka, kahlua, white creme de cacao, and bailey's Irish creme. Seems like stuff they would have. Was just wondering if they would make it with the package but thanks for your wonderful insight. Sounds like 4 shots which would be a drink at that point.

You see a cursive font in davekathy's post? I see something bold and larger than the default! (It's much larger than yours for example.) Edited to add: oh, I just saw that davekathy's post is edited. apparently that propagates to the spots where it is quoted!

Your assumption is incorrect. I'm using the font style Comic Scans as an option provided by CC on the reply screen. Not sure what you are seeing but it sounds like a fancy cursive font. Not what I using! BTW Comic Scans is the font I used prior to the CC upgrade. Obviously the device you are using is not compatible with the recent upgrade and you should report it to the CC gurus.

I had this same problem on carnival. paid for the extra shot for my wife since she doesn't drink much but when she does she wants to know it! went to another bar and explained this to the bartender and was told to order her daiquiri and ask for a bubble on it, that was only an extra 2 bucks as opposed to the $7 for an extra shot. that was only possible with out the beverage package. they wont do it with the package.

It sounds like the problem is that your phone or tablet doesn't have a good equivalent for that font so it's defaulting to one that is skinny and cursive. Because the font looks like comic sans to me, larger, a bit bolder, and definitely not cursive. I'm not sure if you can install a font on your phone, it probably depends on the browser you're using and the Operating System. But it might be worth posing the question to the Cruise Critic help forum. They should think about providing a user "profile" whereby all entries are forced into a font/style that works best for the reader instead of defaulting to the poster's style, if that makes sense? I hope I helped somewhat. I'm a programmer and know how hard it is to provide a seamless experience on all the various platforms out there, but they should still consider providing something that eases the way for others, especially in light of ADA issues.

Except for the crushed oreo cookies I see no reason why they couldn't make it. All of the ingredients are pretty standard bar stock. As Bob the package will cover it up to 12 dollars. If they price it higher you pay the difference plus 18 percent. Oreo Cookie – 2 shots or 1 cocktail. 3/4 ounce Vodka. 3/4 ounce Coffee Liqueur. 3/4 ounce Crème de Cacao. 3/4 ounce Irish Cream. Oreo Cooke Garnish. Dip rims of two shot glasses coffee liqueur then dip rims in crushed oreo cookies if I leave out the Oreo it almost sounds like a plain ole' White Russian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilalila Posted October 27, 2018 #47 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'm not a straight-up shot person; however, on my recent Anthem cruise out of Newark (May 2018) not one bartender would serve me a cocktail as a "double". Then to add more annoyance was the fact that the booze poured was specifically measured out. I prefer a stronger drink and drink it more slowly than something on the weak side which I drink faster and get more full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_BA Posted October 27, 2018 #49 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Getting to know the bartenders goes a long ways, along with small additional tipping. I bring $50-60 in one dollar bills and hand one folded under my SeaPass card with each drink order. The result is a rarely have to sign a receipt, and have never been up-charged for more expensive drinks. Most bartenders are very personable and will talk with you when they aren't slammed with orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
