Royal Caribbean Cocktail Recipes Companion Thread

[RobInMN]

I didn't want to clutter @PG Cruiser's Royal Caribbean Cocktail Recipes thread.

 

We (me, DW, DD, DD's BF) were on Allure last week in our first Star Class suite (and based on today's prices, might be our last), which includes the DBP.

Now, we are not big or adventurous drinkers. Prior to making D, we stuck mostly to the Refreshment package, and since becoming D (now D+), our vouchers are plenty (even sharing them with DD & DD's BF on a prior cruise).

So, armed with the DBP, and inspired by @PG Cruiser, and the Bella Cruise thread's Drink Scavenger hunt, (and there was someone else that posted a drink checkoff sheet), we decided to try as many drinks as we could.

In preparation, I'd been copying the drinks to a Google Sheet as they were posted, and also had another page listing other drinks from the other lists. I shared it with our group to keep track and score. Note, there was a lot of drink tasting and sharing. We did not all have all these drinks on our own. But many favorites were enjoyed more than once.

We made it to 50 different drinks! Including the entire new Schooner bar menu!

Pretty proud of ourselves.

2 notes:

1. The server in the pub told DD's BF when he ordered the El Toro, that he's never had anyone ever finish one
2. The score on the Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned was mostly from creativity

 

So, in the end, we had a lot of fun, and we actually discovered some new favorites to use our vouchers on in the future. I'm still getting some BBCs though!

What do the initials on the right side stand for? Do you have a link to this. I’d like to make a copy.

The initials are the first letters of our names.

ok, sure. I made a copy and cleared out the names & scores.

A few other notes.

• There's been a few drink recipes posted twice from different menus. Only listed once under the first menu posted.
• As a drink from the "Other Classics" was posted as a Royal drink, it was removed from the Other Classics page.
• The final score screenshot I posted was created by filtering out the rows with blank scores and then coping to a 3rd sheet. I then created an Average column. While I suppose it's technically possible to do that with formulas, arguably not worth the effort, especially when merging data from 2 sheets.

Thanks for doing this. I am anxious to play.

@RobInMN, did the bartenders follow my recipes?   Ooops, let me rephrase.  Did my recipes match theirs?  lol

🤣I honestly didn't compare. I suppose making the spreadsheet name link to the corresponding post in your thread could be a good idea. 😉
