monoptn Posted February 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2019 We did the martini class on Harmony this summer. I thought it was definitely worth the money! We had 5 different martinis (smaller versions, but still quite a bit). It was a lot of fun. In fact, I went back again the next sea day and saw quite a few faces from the Wednesday class.

barbeyg Posted February 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Cool! Thanks for asking. I will have to add this to my list of activities to look for on our upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCat3 Posted February 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Cost for me on Harmony in October was $19.95 + 18% tip and it was held in the Wonderland bar. As mentioned above, they serve mini versions of 5 martinis then at the end let us choose our favorite and gave us one full size martini. The bartender was also good about demonstrating variations on request by adding a little extra olive juice to the dirty martini after you tasted the regular version or a splash of extra cranberry juice to the Cosmopolitan for a different taste. There was lots of lively discussion during the class. We had about 8 guests and two bartenders. I suppose the quality of the class would depend on the quality of your bartender(s). Ours was great!

MalteseMama2 Posted February 12, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thanks for all the responses. I am excited to try this activity! We have Liberty booked next month, then Harmony later in the year. I’m sure we will enjoy this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted February 12, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) yes $20 pp and you get samples, plus the barkeep in R bar where it was held takes everyones sea card and at the end picks one to receive their favorite full martini glass. This was on Liberty. We had so much fun, we took it again on the last sea day. A pleasant buzz for $20. Since then, we've signed up on every cruise. They used to hold them up in the Viking Crown Sports bar that was then transitioned into the Diamond Lounge....lots of fun at the Martini Class!

dpostman Posted February 12, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I did not even know they did this. Definitely will keep an eye open for this on our next cruise. I Hope it is offered on Brilliance when in the Baltic. My wife is the martini drinker but I make them 😉 So this might fetch me some extra brownie points 🙂 dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Sahoo still the bartender on Harmony? We loved him. My favorite was the Peach Jalapeño! I wish I had one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er345 Posted February 12, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I’m assume they only take a limited number of people at a time. Can you sign up for it on the app once you are onboard? We will be on Symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCat3 Posted February 12, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sorry, I didn’t catch the bartender’s names. I think you just show up for the class. I don’t remember seeing an opportunity to pre-register. The class was offered twice a day on sea days (1 and 3 PM) on my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead234 Posted February 12, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2019 What were the five samples, does anyone know? Do they pick the 5 samples or you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tennislvr8 Posted February 12, 2019 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I did this once on Norwegian. It was $20 and there were 5 full size martinis..... Needless to say I don't remember much after that class. It was not offered on anthem last Mar or Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCat3 Posted February 12, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It sounds like the 5 samples are different at each class. We were not offered a Peach Jalapeño martini but it sounds terrific! Our five were: Classic Gin Martini (along with a discussion of shaken vs stirred) Dirty Martini Appletini Cosmopolitan Chocolate Martini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
