Not to miss drinks

I like the bourbon and peaches. It’s the Luminae signature drink but if you find the bar that services Luminae you can order it there. So worth the hunt!

 

I believe it is as follows, based on seeing staff from Luminae picking up drinks at the following bars:

 

On M-Class ships it is the Rendezvous Lounge. 
On S-Class ships it is the Passport bar. 

 

Can't say for E-class - only sailed Edge once.

While we also have enjoyed a number of the drinks (with alcohol) already mentioned, a favorite mocktail is the minted lemonade.   

 

 

Are you able to get those on Millennium? In the Retreat Lounge?

Louis XIII and Red Bull.

 

Drink up 🍷🍺🍻🧉🍹🍸🥃🧋🍷🥂🍾🥤

 

 If you are buying. However, in that price range, I cannot see diluting it with anything much less Red Bull.  

Does it really give you wings?

bikerunner, please post if you find the price to indeed be $17. Maybe they changed it back recently. It definitely was $19 on Equinox in Feb. 

so prices have gone up. Your correct.  App as usual wrong. Wcb menu

How does it work if you have the classic drink package?  Most of these cocktails are over the 10$ limit of that package...

 

 It's simple, you order the drink and they present you with a bill for the price of the drink, minus the $10 credit for your classic drink package, plus a 20% service fee.  So a $17 drink would cost you $7 plus $1.40 or $8.40.

The Top Shelf Margarita in Craft Social is great.
Not sure what it is called, but it is in their published menu.
Be sure to get the Top Shelf - the regular margarita isn't very good.

Thanks!!  I assume if you order one that's under the "10$" limit, there's no charge or service fee (we have prepaid gratuities).

That is correct.  Anything you order that is covered by the drink package is charged at $0.00 and you are not even presented with a bill to sign.

 

 Only items not covered by your drink package will be charged and you will be presented with a bill for them that includes the price and gratuity.

Banana daiquiri with Meyers rum only.   Then a floater of the same on top....

 

 I prefer Kracken over Meyers, for the floater also.

The prepaid gratuities have nothing to do with the drink package gratuities.  Gratuities for drinks are included/paid for with the package.  Prepaid gratuities cover the room steward, wait staff, etc.

Two to try at the WCB are Zacapa Old Fashioned and Azteca, both delicious in their own ways and different to drinks bought anywhere else. The Zacapa Old Fashioned is particularly addictive😀 cheers!

The Zacapa Old Fashioned changed my life... In a good way  🙂

can't wait to get back on board in a few months for another!!

 I make my own at home.  

 Our DD and SIL gave me a smoking kit for birthday this year.  I make smoked old fashioned with both Woodford and Zacapa here at the house.  They are really good. 

 

 I failed to obtain a smoked drink on our last sailing as it was on Millennium which does not have the WCB.  I am going to ask again when we board next week.  Maybe at Cellar Masters they might have something.

A smoking kit for drinks would be wonderful! Good luck next week.

If you want to try a frozen drink, my favorite is a Mudslide. It is like an alcoholic mocha milkshake.

Agree! One of our cruise rituals is to have a Mudslide as our first drink onboard. We only drink them on a cruise ship.

French Caribbean, coconut rum, mango mix, raspberry liquour.  Not too sweet and it's pretty. 

YES!!! that's the one drink I could find on RC as well!

In addition to many of the drinks already posted, I like a Miami Vice.  It's a layering of frozen strawberry daquiri and pina colada.  Sooo good at the Sunset Bar!

Yes, and Craft Social has real lime juice. Most of the bars have premixed lime syrup. 
 

I like the Martini Bar manhattans. You always get premium liquors at MB even if you don’t specify. And drinks on the rocks are made properly. Mixed in a shaker then poured over fresh ice.
