renji Posted March 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Any recommendations for a place to have a good one on Freedom? Will mostly hang in Boleros and am in a suite so will have access to suite lounge. I’m thinking not to do the package, will have two max a day but do have coffee and sparkling water. Can/Should I bring my own olives? What’s the vermouth situation? Yes, I recognize this is a first world issue 🙂 Edited March 18, 2023 by renji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bartender will be more important than the location. See if the suite lounge one is good enough for you, then try other locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CntPAcruiser Posted March 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2023 It shouldn't be necessary to bring your own olives, unless you prefer something very specific. On our last cruise, they were stringing three or four small pimento-stuffed olives on a pick for martinis. I've not seen premium vermouths in use. It would likely be Martini & Rossi, to my recollection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted March 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I think I saw Hendrick's and Bombay Sapphire on a top shelf there. Rest would be your liver cirrhosis well special. I think your best bet is to watch and direct your drink prep for several reasons. Bartenders are Asia therefore it is not their drink of choice personally and would be similar to American understanding the Chinese plum wine grades. They only have small spanish pimento filled olives. very often beat up and dried so juice can be an issue. no other variety. With drink packages going crazy the culinary value of each drink went down and I see lots of inconsistency with repeat orders even from the same bar same evening. I guess they think one can always get another one if one does not like the drink. When you pay for them per drink - upsetting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
