Do you use the Bionic Bar?

I have never used it and it think it’s a waste of space. Please bring back the Champagne Bar or move the Bionic Bar somewhere else.

Great place to use the liquor card for extra booze to make drinks stronger. I will get a chocolate martini and head over to bionic bar for all the vanilla vodka I can get in a cup and mix it. Extra vodka for my drinks. What a great bar!! 
 

Other  than that it’s a waste of space. Nobody gets anything good to drink there.

Can’t you just get the vanilla vodka from a bar or do you get more than one shot for the price of one?

We have watched it a time or 2 but that’s about it.

All included in the liquor package.

It is fun to watch once. After that on to better things.

The next decent drink I get from the bionic bar will be the first one. It’s interesting to watch it for the first time, but not a big fan of this bar.

I am excited about trying the Bionic Bar on the Symphony, although apparently it messes up a lot, which can be its own form of entertainment!

 

What was the champagne bar?  Did it have cheap-ish champagnes like Veuve Cliquot or Moet or was it splurgy like Salon or Krug?

Not really sure about the champagnes since I usually have chocolate martinis, key lime martinis, and many other different drinks. It’s just a nice relaxing bar without loud music where you can actually talk to people and be able to hear them. The Allure hasn’t been amped yet so it still has it. Hoping they never amp it, but unfortunately it’s also leaving Fort Lauderdale in Oct (I think it’s Oct). It then goes to Galveston. Lucky for them, but sad for me.

Curacao Cosmo  and Lemon Drop martini 

 

Chocolate martini and maybe a vodka and tonic.

 

 

 

Pineapple Guava Sangria

 

Curacao Cosmo (blue one) and I forget what the other one was.

 

French 75 and Espresso martini 

 

Painkiller

Waste of space; bring back the classy Champagne Bar.

 

 

[poocher]

Didn’t find it particularly interesting to watch & the drink went right in the trash.  Gotta be a better use of that space.

[lovesthebeach2]

Sorry to say it’s a big waste of space. I’ve hardly seen anyone buying a drink there.

[Cruise a holic]

I think a waste of space.  Makes poor drinks- should consider another Martini bar- like Celebrity has- or find a better use of precious space.

[barbeyg]

I was really surprised at the number of people on our recent Ovation cruise that used it.  Figured lots of new-to-Royal passengers.

 

We have never seen the draw to this versus a great bartender that makes excellent drinks.

[island lady]

Also agree, waste of space.  Novelty that flopped.  

 

I prefer real bartenders, many of whom we have a lot of fun interacting with.   The robot is not very talkative.  😉  Plus can't use our vouchers there.  

[TVLady3]

I use it all the time with the refreshment package! Makes yummy non-alcohol drinks!😋

[vjmatty]

While I agree with whoever said it is quiet for hearing conversations, it is way too bright for a bar like atmosphere, and the drinks on the menu all seem to taste the same.  It's good kitsch for one visit but I never went back.

[Debspain]

Waste of space, bring back the champagne bar

Never been on a ship with a Bionic Bar. I suppose one would not feel the need to leave a tip - 🙂 

 

I'll give it a try once I have the opportunity.

Bar tended makes much better drinks.
