Disney Cruise Adult Beverage tastings

Has anyone done any of these lately. The last thread I could find on them was from 2012. Are they fun and well attended? How much are they now and are they a good value. I am traveling on the Wonder in May with family that does not drink much. I don't drink to excess but like a good wine or bourbon. I was thinking that this might be a way to mix with some like minded travelers without going by myself to one of the bars.

Thoughts or suggestions?

I haven't been on the Wonder for a while, but they are alive and well on the Fantasy. You can see what is available and sign up at Guest Services on day 1. Most of the time they are limited to about 20 people. (private events may be slightly larger). Most recent cost I'm aware of was $15, but as you noted many prices have increased in the last few months.

I don't recall seeing a bourbon tasting. They have wine, tequila, etc. Value is always in the eye of the beholder.

My wife and I enjoyed the cognac tasting. We did a different tasting last cruise. Italian cocktails. Very fun and informative. We also liked the mixologys we have done.

Not from the Wonder - but I believe the costs for the tastings is the same from ship to ship (this is from the Fantasy)

I will be on the Wonder this Friday and signed up for a Mixology seminar with my roll call group which I found on a large social media website. Otherwise, I wouldn't have signed up for it. It's $20.00 for the seminar

Thanks for posting the list. Yes, the offerings vary from ship to ship and from one cruise to the next, but I believe the pricing to be the same throughout the line.

We did rum and whiskey tastings on the magic ebta 2015. I enjoyed it, it was informative, fun, and a good value for the number of drinks. I will do a couple more on the next cruise.

Ok, this is the first I've heard about this, don't mean to hijack this post, but when can you sign up for these tastings? How do you find out about them?

We signed up at guest services.

The Tequila-Margarita and the Italian Cocktail tastings sound interesting! :)

Has anyone done either of them? I'd love to hear the details. :D

We did the Italian. Julian was our bartender. Full of fun and energy! There was limoncello, grappa, and negroni. There were 6 drinks total. Well worth it!

Sign up is at Guest Services after boarding. Get there early--they do fill up!

If you happen to be with a large group, DCL will organize one privately for your group. This can be set up in advance and paid in advance. The group will be allowed to change names after making the reservations, but you will be held to the required number of places.

This is just what I was hoping to find out. Thanks so much.

I was on the Wonder in December. My wife and I did two seminars. We did the chocolate and liquor pairing, and the martini tasting. The chocolate event was well-attended, they set up a long row of tables in the Cadillac Bar. For the martini tasting, there were fewer if us so we sat at the bar.

My son and I did the tequila tasting on the Dream last May. Lots of fun!

I think the cost was $20 each. We tasted three tequilas: silver, reposado and anejo while the bartender talked about how they make tequila and other tequila facts.

Then we had three mini-margaritas: peach, regular and one other (I forget) while the bartender talked about margaritas.

The mixology class sounded interesting too, but we ran out of time and didn't get to it.

Sounds yummy!

This one sounds good, too. Especially the margaritas! :)

I'll be on the Wonder in May as well...doing the WBPC, and am very much looking forward to the Rum tasting, the chocolate and liquer tasting, and the tequila tasting. Although to be honest, we did a tequila tasting in January, on a tour in Cozumel, and I'll be really disappointed if they don't use a really good tequila for the tasting. And after what we had in Cozumel, Patron, Jose Cuervo, or any other 'commercial' brand just doesn't stack up.

just have to get through the next 59 days.... lol

Does anyone know what the tasting/mixology schedule looks like for the Dream (3 day and 4 day)?
