woodley Posted August 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2006 We are in owners suite and I know we get three bottles of liquor but can we also get Martini shakers, mixers etc to make cocktails in our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inTul Posted August 13, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2006 If you are in an Owners Suite just ask your butler, I'm sure he/she will get you what ever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted August 13, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2006 In the Owners suite the answer to all questions is YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpirate Posted August 13, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2006 In the Owners suite the answer to all questions is YES. Theoretically. I have heard NO over sillies like pillows or another high hat or another carton of pinacolada mix.:mad: I've had lovely chats with Hotel Directors and become happy again.:D Woodley - Regarding the shaker - since it's a very personal item, you should probably bring your own, the one you're used to making perfect martinis with at home. The ones you'll get onboard are generic and clumsy and won't fit your hands. I always take my custom silver shaker in it's little velvet bag. :D The bar tools they provide are good, so don't worry about bringing those.

hotspur Posted August 13, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Didn't I learn from a famous movie series that they were supposed to be "stirred, not shaken?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted August 13, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2006 In the Owners suite the answer to all questions is YES. I should have said the answer to all woodley's questions is yes;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted August 13, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Didn't I learn from a famous movie series that they were supposed to be "stirred, not shaken?" I though the quote was "shaken, not stirred" The James Bond books were written by Ian Fleming, and they soon turned into the James Bond movies. They've become an institution. But James Bond seems to be more than an indestructible Secret Agent (007) of the British Intelligence Services - he also seems to have deep medical insights. Mr. Bond always orders his martinis as "shaken, not stirred". Why is this so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirred not to bruise the gin :p ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpirate Posted August 13, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2006 So, ever true to the way Mr. Fleming wrote him, with the scar on his cheek and cruel expression, James Bond exerts violence even over his martini...... No gentle swirling, a beating among the ice crush to a lonely wait, no olive, no onion, in the glass for permanent BondGuy stomach oblivion. Dah Dah Dah Daaaaah Da Daaah Da....

Rare Smellytoes Posted August 14, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I love James Bond movies. Does anyone (Flyingpirate) know if there is a bottle opener (the kind you use to open beer bottles) in 10506? Do I need to bring my own?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpirate Posted August 14, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Smellytoes! Everything you need is there, can opener, bottle opener, corkscrew, zester, peeler, etc. White & red wines, champagne flutes, martinis, highball, cocktail. Coffee maker (not espresso grind), mugs, service. Don't hesitate to ask for little paper umbrellas, cherries, olives, onions, pineapple wedges, whatever trim you need to make your beverages happy. Now, hope that 10506 opens up for us too.;) We hate to cruise in a strange place :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vodka "martini" isn't even a martini and shouldn't be refered to as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpirate Posted August 14, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 14, 2006 It supposed be called a "Vodkatini", but no one ever does... Nice to see you're a purist :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sometimes live on the edge though by using a sour cocktail onion (making it a "Gibson") in place of the traditional olive. "Danger" is my middle name.......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
