Rare CruzerDeb Posted February 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Do you have a “go to” drink once you’re finally onboard? My favorite on Carnival (don’t judge 😜) is the Fun Ship Special. First Celebrity cruise in 3 days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare chemmo Posted February 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2022 OK, it is the free bubbly they hand out as you board. It might not taste wonderful but it is simply symbolic of boarding! I always love this Celebrity tradition. Once on board on hot cruises it is a pina colada on colder cruises a courvoisier once I can convince the bar staff not to drown it in ice. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs2k Posted February 23, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Following. I need a new cruise drink. I typically drink Bourbon on the rocks, and that's not exactly a great sailaway drink. Maybe a Stoli Raspberry BayBreeze with a splash of Malibu is in order... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we boarded Equinox in November (our first cruise back since March, 2020) they didn't do the welcome aboard drinks (probably due to the new protocols).

NCHPcruiser Posted February 23, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I bypass the champagne being passed on trays at embarkation and head to the Martini bar or Retreat (depending on cruise) and get the best available champagne. After reading the thread a couple of month ago about favorite Celebrity drinks I now have a list to choose from as to what my second drink will be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebutlerdidit Posted February 23, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2022 For me it’s a Mojito! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 5:00_Somewhere Posted February 23, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Our first drink after stepping on board is always a glass of champagne. After that, it depends on our mood and the weather. For me, it's often an Aperol Spritz or Mojito or, on Princess, a Beverly Hills Iced Tea (although we've found some bartenders on X who will make them, as well). 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PTC DAWG Posted February 23, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 23, 2022 For some reason, and ICE cold Corona does the trick...I suppose it got started a while back on an NCL cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DCPIV Posted February 23, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It's usually a glass of champagne or something bubbly. Either it's what we open in the room or what's served at lunch. If it's not that, then it's usually a Bloody Mary (which is the way we start off any trip--for luck, y'know). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PinkSandGirl Posted February 23, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 23, 2022 On S-class ships it's a martini from the Martini bar. It is tradition. My most recent cruise, I went with the Fresca Martini 🍉. I also write my name in the ice, ship name and date and take a picture. 😉 I will miss the iced top Martini Bar on the Beyond. Will decide if the Martini Bar will be our first stop or start a new tradition just for that ship. 😉 Decisions. Decisions. 😉 🍹 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Unless they surprise us on the Beyond and haven't mentioned it yet. 😄 They shouldn't even call it The Martini Bar. 😉 🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
