mancunian Posted October 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Horror of horrors we are going on Moon on the 10th December and I have just been put on medication that totally forbids alcohol. That is even worse than our cancellation of Israel and Egypt!!! I hate non alcoholic wine and was wondering if the bar stewards were creative in making suitable cocktails. I will of course still enjoy the cruise I am not dependent on alcohol,but is still disappointing. Just hope I am firing on all cylinders again for Spirit in April.

Rare Lois R Posted October 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hi Angela, hope you recover quickly and most good bartenders know many "mocktails"......it should not be a problem for them. Just depends on your taste really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be packing again - only a few more days. Have a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I took a bottle of zero gin on board and gave it to a bar steward. He made me some lovely drinks. A previous guest had left a zero rum, which also made up some good cocktails.

I was quite excited by the prospect, that is what I would do and solve the problem. When I told my husband he said yes I could do that if I wanted. Of course he also said with what we were paying SS should stock non alcoholic as there must be lots of people on medication. Guess he is probably right but I shall still take a bottle.

Liquid Amber Posted October 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2023 It might have changed, but when I contacted Silversea they indicated that they didn’t stock 0% spirits and invited me to take my own. Maybe someone else has more up to date information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaris1900 Posted October 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2023 We were recently on the Shadow and the Arts cafe had a small selection of NA cocktails listed at the end the drinks menu, mostly made with various Seedlip "liquors." A couple of us sampled some of them and thought they were very pleasant. I didn't ask if that was standard for all ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted October 28, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I have been on the Moon and Dawn this year and both stock Seedlip n/a gin in the bars, it makes an adequate G&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntrdr Posted October 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2023 On Moon last year, the Salt Bar bartender made my husband several nonalcoholic drinks. DH just told him to suggest something and the bartender took it from there. It was fun seeing what showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdnycruiser Posted October 29, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Last night at the SALT bar on the Nova, the bartender said he had 0% spirits. My wife had an Amaretto Sour with 0% and said it was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
