napper777 Posted December 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's our first time getting the "free at sea" beverage option. We are not big drinkers so looking for opinions on cocktails we should try. Any advice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolita22 Posted December 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The Rebellious Fish is one of my favorites. We also like the raspberry guava mojito and the mango meltdowns (strawberry/mango mix). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napper777 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks so much for the ideas! I'm starting a list based on everyone's recommendations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted December 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2018 While not part of the UBP there are Martini tasting events and wine also (not all at the same time though). Remember to have time between tastings to have your pallet adjusted to enjoy the experience. Pay attention as to how drinks are prepared the ole shaken not stirred routine maybe they are layered very carefully or topped to mate the taste of two liquors together - amazing. If you are interested in the Martini tasting events - find out more information and sign up right away - usually reserved for 16-20 persons per event and maybe 4 events during the cruise. Of course you can find a bar with a bartender who when tipped well will also give you an education in mixology drinking 101. The UBP is a great way to try everything in mixology !

Any advice? for me, it has to be a Toma: it is a morning drink in my view: combination of a little vodka, little bubbly, lime juice I think and lemon juice or something like that. Anyway, not only do I look forward to the first morning on the ship and my Toma, I have sold many others on it. You do have to be careful; they are not strong and go down so smoothly you can drink too many, too fast i am sure. They sound similar to what "cool cruiser" posted.

Jonslola Posted December 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Mango Meltdown and a classic Mojito! If you're in the mood for something chocolate I suggest a Bushwacker or Mudslide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trician24 Posted December 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 21, 2018 My favorites are: Peach Pina Colada Mango Meltdown Jalapeno Cucumber Mojito Banana Daiquiri Mudslide I'm so bummed I didn't order the Rebellious Fish on our cruise in November. That was one I wanted to try and totally forgot about. Hopefully I remember on our Breakaway cruise next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napper777 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'm getting so excited now that I have these suggestions. Is the price limit $15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islesdave Posted December 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I love a good Bushwacker. Similar to a mudslide, but tastes more like a Frappucino than a milkshake. They have a drink of the day - however when they do that, it comes out of a pitcher or other large container, they're not made fresh. Cherry lime-aid is very refreshing.

Yes, $15 is the maximum drink cost covered by the package, and you will have seemingly endless choices! But if by chance you decide you would like to try a drink that is over $15, you will only be charged the difference (Example: a $17 drink will cost you $2). That being said, I HIGHLY recommend trying a chocolate martini, the price difference is around $3 and totally worth it, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted December 21, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Sadly I don't think NCL makes this drink anymore. I drank them all the time on Epic in 2013 but they were removed from the menu when I cruised in 2015. Apple Manhattan. Its a whiskey based martini. Whiskey does not hang me over like vodka so that helps. Ice cubes 1/4 cup bourbon (2 oz) 2 tablespoons apple-flavored liqueur (1 oz) 1 maraschino cherry with stem 2 apple slices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose1 Posted December 22, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 22, 2018 How about any non alcoholic drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted December 22, 2018 #18 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I love the 'Emperor's Nectar' at Le Bistro. Sadly, it was no longer on the menu for our last couple of cruises. Also, another vote from me for the Raspberry Mojito. For a frozen drink, I love the Mango Meltdown or a BBC (Banana, Bailey's and Colada....kind of a milkshake).

"Surely" NCL makes Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers for adults ! LOL ! OK on a serious side tell the bartender what you would like and if it can be made without alcohol let him perform his master of mixology to your taste buds and thirst. You wouldn't need the UBP only the Soda package for this. Surprising what a little club soda or sierra mist can do to flavor up a concoction !
