Rare FlyerTalker Posted January 23, 2023 #51 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I think from the photos posted and other menus, we can conclude one thing. The spirits selection aboard the various ships is the only exception to the Viking "cookie cutter" approach to cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one posts the new menu in the next few days I will do it. Sorry for the delay, it’s been a busy first couple days on board. I see some of it has been posted but I will post the entire menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It meets the criteria for bourbon but the Tennessee people don't like to call it what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted January 23, 2023 #60 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I believe those menu prices are from 2022. And not the current 2023 prices. However, what do I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key difference between the two types of whiskey is that Tennessee Whiskey must be filtered through maple charcoal before being put into the barrel for aging. Kentucky Bourbon goes straight to the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalusky Posted January 23, 2023 #68 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Excited to be going on my first Viking cruise this May. What do they have in the area of Chocolate Martinis and/or Ice Cream drinks? Is that something where you just ask the bartender to create something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron at the pool bar ,on the Viking Orion , would mix up all kinds of cocktails when asked. He also did so great NA drinks too. You can definitely order a mudslide It is like a chocolate malt.

Is the pool bar open just during the day or all bar hours. On my recent first time Oceania I found that not all drinks were offered at all bars. The pool bar had things like daquiri and margarita variations not offered in the other bars due to some of the ingredients not available in the other bars. The pool bar was closed at night. I also kind of hated that the bars all had different menus. Of course Viking has the ability to cover the pool. Does that change the game and keep the pool bar open longer especially in variable climates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other bar I frequented in the day was the Aquavit bar at end of buffet and overlooking the infinity pool That one is open during dinner hours. Both bars made great golden margaritas and anything you could think of for a hot summer day. The Explorer Lounge was the place we went for a pre or after dinner martini. It and the Viking Bar are open very late . Torshavn the night club bar is also open very late. There is even a bar going into the theater and one in the Restaurant . I do not think you will be without your favorite drink during the day or ev ending. Enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pool bar was open until 7 PM the first two nights but stayed open until 10 PM last night since they were showing the NFL games at the pool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
