NolaFireLI Posted June 16, 2022 #51 Share Posted June 16, 2022 There was an original novelty to The Bionic Bar, but it wears off pretty fast when you just get a standard drink!! It's good for the folks that just turned 21, or are New to Royal, otherwise, it's just a hard-pass! ...And I'm not even sure if it was operating last week on Symphony. I MUCH rather have the Champagne Bar back, it was quite lovely and had some of the best bartenders in the industry! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted June 16, 2022 #52 Share Posted June 16, 2022 For a drink, no. For a video I'm working on, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good kitsch for one visit but I never went back. The quiet atmosphere where you can have an unstrained conversation more than makes up for any lighting issue in my mind. I find it very uncomfortable trying to speak and listen in many of the lounges. I haven't found any issue with drink variety and have also found some of the most willing bartenders to custom tailor a drink in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one would not feel the need to leave a tip - 🙂 I'll give it a try once I have the opportunity. Tom Good question... Do they charge 18% gratuity on a bionic bar drink??

toad455 Posted June 16, 2022 #59 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Feels like it's a short WOW factor. People tend to get just one drink from it and never return. Apparently these cost $1 million per ship. A robotic bartender will never be better then a real one. Plus your choices are limited at the bionic bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted June 16, 2022 #60 Share Posted June 16, 2022 My son-in-law was so taken by the thing that he built one for my daughter. Obviously it is much, much simpler than Royal's -- it can only make 3-4 drinks, and they're very similar -- but it's always a hit at parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCazer Posted June 16, 2022 #61 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Only if I have the drink package, as I can't use Diamond vouchers there. On a side note, I did order a Cosmo and it is much larger than you get at a regular bar. Probably won't every use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobH5849 Posted June 16, 2022 #62 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Walk right on by. Waste of space as far as I'm concerned. Having great conversations with cruisers and bartenders at the bars is our happy place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
