lennythenose Posted February 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2023 We are booked for our first Princess cruise soon. I do love a fruity cocktail to celebrate getting my cruise started. Does Princess have a specific drink I should make sure to try first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisnDeb Posted February 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I've heard on other threads we need to try a dirty banana 🙂 so that is going to be my first drink when I board the Discovery next month. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettyboop66 Posted February 16, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I always start with a rum punch, my DH likes a Long Island iced tea. They both just scream “vacation“😍🍹 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted February 16, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The dirty banana is my favorite as well it's a frozen good on hot days up on deck. Another favorite is the absolute cooler which has watermelon flavor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted February 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My embarkation drink is always a Beverly Hills Iced Tea but on my last cruise, I switched it up and got a glass of Prosecco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1emerald1 Posted February 16, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Pina Colada for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennythenose Posted February 16, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted February 16, 2023 It looks like everyone has their personal favorites but Princess does not have a special embarkation day feature drink as some lines do. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on it if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbird Posted February 16, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Of course, this depends on what Texas drinks are allowed before you get into international waters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer on a princess ship! Don't get me started, but if we are ever on a princess ship together lets discuss over a beer! I am also a "simple beer guy too" when on a princess ship! On the bright side you We can still order a Beer by brand, not just Ale or Lager, yellow or dark! Poor wine lovers, soon "you want red wine or white wine, let's see your medallion, yeah red or white that that's what your package includes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavecreekguy Posted February 17, 2023 #17 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I love these kinds of threads. I'm leaving shortly for my first Princess cruise since 2005. I have plus so am looking forward to trying all manner of new cocktails. I'm making a list of these suggestions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare talkorpi Posted February 17, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hoping the Dirty Banana is available in Galveston upon embarkation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted February 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I don't drink, but if I did, Rum Punch, Singapore Sling, or Sloe Gin Fizz. Sunrise, maybe. I would just find a bartender (not ordering through the Medallion App, but in person) and tell him I want something orange or red, and sweet. My last cruise, I had a lot of Virgin Mojitos. Princess has a cutesy name, the Nojito, but in a loud bar environment, that can be misheard as Mojito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HikaruTsuki Posted February 17, 2023 #20 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My embarkation drink has always been a Long Island Iced Tea. Can't wait for my upcoming one in April! First one since 2018! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BamaVol Posted February 17, 2023 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2023 On my first cruise ever (RCL), many years ago, we were approached by a waiter as soon as we boarded and asked if we wanted a “mango tango”. Then he asked if we wanted rum in it, which we did. It tasted like heaven. I’ve never had one anywhere else. I wish I could order another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasa1974 Posted February 17, 2023 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) My DW would ask for a Manhattan to honor my grandfather. He loved the fact that she would sit with him and sip his favorite drink. Me, I'm just a beer guy. But on my next cruise I will ask for a Manhattan in honor of my wife and grandfather.

mevs904 Posted February 17, 2023 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2023 We love the variety of drinks available on board and I’m looking forward to trying a Dirty Banana on our upcoming Mediterranean cruise. Our first drink upon embarkation however has traditionally been champagne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
