nar20a Posted November 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2022 G'day! Can you please recommend some great cocktails you have had in Norwegian? We will be cruising Norwegian Sun in a few days. Thanks 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nar20a Posted November 15, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I usually stick with the Classic Old Fashioned & Whiskey Highball & sometimes with the Martinis whereas my wife prefers Mojitos. This time we have taken the free at sea open bar and hope to try some other mixes. What are your favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OrcaGirl Posted November 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Espresso martini at the Observation Lounge, Eastern Legacy at Maltings, BBC poolside, and the Coco mojito at Sugarcane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything frozen and fruity! And a Frose (frozen/slushy wine) at the pool bar. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare thera Posted November 16, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I fell in love with caipirinhas on my last cruise. They had a nice pineapple surplus drink that I had by the pool. Enjoyed the botanical spritz. We sampled a few martinis as well that I liked (rum cake, basil cucumber). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaWBarmy Posted November 16, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Instructions for getting a great cocktail on NCL. 1 Find the Sugarcane Mojito bar 2 Take a seat, catch the barpersons eye. 3 Order a Raspberry and Guava Mojito 4 Watch the barperson prepare this nectar. 5 Drink 6 Sit a while and wonder why you've never discovered this cocktail before 7 Order another one. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted November 16, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2022 While classier than the punch bowls they used to have by the bar, avoid any tap cocktails. They are way too sweet and pack zero punch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc321 Posted November 16, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I always enjoy a nice frozen drink in the sun. Dirty Bananna has been my favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 16, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My best drinks have been those the bartender made for me. I don't drink one particular drink. I drink whatever's put in front of me. The outdoor Sugarcane Mojito Bar is the finest bar on the ship as it's outside, with a view. Since the Sun doesn't have a Sugarcane, I'd be going to Champs since it's outside, facing the ocean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted November 16, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Aperol spritz. Big, sassy looking drink. If it’s too bitter for you ask them add a splash of sprite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juncti Posted November 16, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I like tweaking drinks on the menu to see how a change impacts the flavor. One of my go to's is changing a Moscow Mule from Vodka to Crown. Although I think Crown is now a plus charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted November 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I like having a miami vice to start off the cruise, and finding bartenders to make me a frozen grasshopper for dessert. If you're lucky and find a nice bartender willing to experiment, just tell them what you're in the mood for. Something with amaretto, something refreshing, something fruity, something strong... Hard to guide you when there's so many different types of drinks and we have no idea what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabFam Posted November 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I had (ahem, several) Grey Goose and tonics on my last NCL cruise and they were super duper refreshing! I plan to stick with those mostly on my upcoming Sun cruise. But I'm curious to try the Espresso Martini. .... ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
