Favorite cruise drink and current 5-day menu?

[jordanaire]

I would love to know what your favorite drink is aboard a Royal ship? We will be sailing on the Mariner of the Seas and want to try some, especially the frozen drinks.

 

And can someone tell me what's on the menu, in the dining room each night, on a 5-day cruise?

 

Can't wait to read your replies.  Thx

Set the app to the next 5 day sailing (not yours) and it should list the menu for each night.

What's in a Kraken Colada? Sounds intriguing.

I'm not a big drinker (although I try my best on cruises, especially on the rare occasion I'm in a suite, lol) and I became a Kraken enthusiast based on many recommendations over my past few cruises. Good stuff.

 

Next up to try is a Kraken Mojito (Kraken's website calls it a Black Mojito.)

Frozen mojito if you like mint, it’s very refreshing. Lava flow. Chocolate martini. Old fashioned.

On the Oasis last year, found the Tropical Fruit Daiquiri a few days in...sorry we missed out on the days we didn't know about it. 😍

I’m not a booze drinker, I usually have wine, but I agree with you on this drink….

[lovesthebeach2]

When I board each ship my first drink is the Lavender Daiquiri.  I usually would never like a foo foo drink, but for some reason I like this drink.

Coco Loco with Kraken

Kraken Colada

Tequila Sunrise

Mango Daquiri

and you can't go wrong with a Grey Goose Martini, no Vermouth, 3 olives.

I know that's really just  Vodka, but humor me!

I agree with OSCS Mike's BBC.   If you can, find a bar that will use fresh banana. 

Coconut Mojito form Boleros

Lavender Martini from Schooners

My wife has asked bartenders if they will toss in a fresh banana (to her virgin strawberry daiquiri but same idea) if she brought them one from the WJ. We got the idea from someone who had mentioned doing it on the suite deck on Harmony the week prior to our cruise last May so she tried it there and the bartender had no problem with the request. Same experience with the Solarium bartender on Indy in both July and October.

 

As an added bonus, the volume increased so much from the banana that she wound up with either two drinks or a very large glass. Not sure if the lack of alcohol or my tip every time we used our D vouchers played a role but she basically wound up with 2 drinks every time (not her intention of course, she just wanted fresh banana in it).
