Rare YVRteacher Posted July 7 Author #252 Share Posted July 7 Guess what? Tomorrow I get to do whatever I feel like in each moment! We are in Halifax. I just came from Canada and today I had to submit a customs form to get back into Canada. Maybe I will sleep in since I don’t have an invitation to an event. Maybe I’ll wake up early and have breakfast in the dining room.(kidding. We all know that isn’t going to happen.) I am definitely going to get a latte at Good Spirits. I am definitely going to read my book. Whatever else happens is a bonus. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each “show” is meant to be a cocktail or two from the special menu. The full drink (not sample) is usually given to someone at the bar. Maybe things have changed but certainly last October I got many of those “demo” drinks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 7 #255 Share Posted July 7 I also managed to acquire the recipe cards with instructions of how to make each drink. I was told these are not for sale nor available to passengers/public. Yet I have a full set. I’m saying no more.., 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Production shows should be around 45 minutes. Some have been amended for a ‘short’ version for various reasons and the short version will be performed. Sometimes the show will also be amended because of an injury or illness of one or more performers. I know the show with the Cyndi Lauper song True Colors, this song was eliminated because supposedly there was backlash regarding non Asian Dancers dressed in Kimonos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 7 Author #258 Share Posted July 7 The show was supposed to be on from 9:30-10:15. That’s a 45 minute production. What actually happened on stage was about half that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying no more.., You used to be able to get the recipe card if you ordered one of the cocktails and Princess would award you a ‘Good Spirits’ T shirt if you collected them all. This program has been discontinued, but some ships still have a supply of the recipe cards and if they do, asking nicely can result in acquisition. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 7 Author #264 Share Posted July 7 This is why being a new cruiser is great! I didn’t even know I was missing out on something or that a cutback had happened so I’m not even perturbed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreaminofcruisin Posted July 7 #269 Share Posted July 7 One 'heads-up' about the Good Spirits bar. We were told their 'special drink menu' is only available certain hours---after 5 or so I think? I found this annoying as of course, the only time I thought of going there was at 3 in the afternoon on a sea day.... 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted July 7 #272 Share Posted July 7 Try the violet cloud for an experience. It's $16--so they charge you the difference plus gratuity (for a total of $1.18). Be prepared for long tender lines in Greenland. My advice would be to get up early and get a tender ticket at 7 a.m. In Nanortalik two years ago, there were people who had been waiting more than three hours for a tender when I got back to the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 7 #273 Share Posted July 7 I realise that some of what I wrote last night didn't make sense (blame it on the beer festival I had just returned from). To be clear, the Coco-Cafe drink at Good Spirits sounds yummy from the description and "should' be one of my faves, given the ingredients. Sadly, it was not. Maybe I should order again (for research purposes). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted July 7 #274 Share Posted July 7 Switching back and forth between the NCL and Princess boards is the most exercise I've had in the last month. But I have to keep up with the adventures of @YVRteacher (and Dad, when he's participating...which, unfortunately he's not this time). CC can be exhausting for an old guy such as yours truly. 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
