teddie Posted November 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’ve become a singe malt scotch girl—just one every few days; neat, thank you very much 😊. We haven’t cruised for a good while and will be sailing on the Anthem. My preferences are Balvenie or Mcallan. Will I find either of those on board? And are top shelf liquor choices the same across all the RCI ships? If I use my Diamond voucher, will I just be charged the difference, as I expect one scotch will cost more than $13? Thank you in advance. teddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never charged over the alloted $14 per drink so i doubt a maclellan which i believe was served in most bars to be over $14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Scotch selection is abysmal. I have put it on every evaluation for the past two years. It seems they have decided that their money is in mass-market well brands, and they simply don't carry any top shelf single malts. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try the Aberfeldy and from what I've read its on the more fruity side, which is good--not fond of the very peaty/smoky ones.

tpcwags Posted November 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Was on Granduer a couple of weeks ago. Glenlivet and Glenfiddich were only choices. I also am Balvenie fan but only Highland scotches available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
