New Bar Menus on the Noordam

[O2B@C]

Wow! Thanks for going to the trouble of taking and posting all those photos. My mouth is watering - there are some great-sounding concoctions on there!

[jkrislc]

The new menus are making me thirsty. :)

 

I don't drink very often, but I like to indulge in a nightly cocktail while on vacation. I saw several on the new menus I'd like to try.

 

Thanks for posting them for us. It is much appreciated.

[Krazy Kruizers]

You are all welcome.

 

Can't wait to read reports on some of those new drinks.

I think I heard the Frosty Chocolate Mint Buzz calling my name! :D

Thanks so much for posting these - we will be on the Noordam in a few weeks and had wondered about bar prices. Overall, the prices are more reasonable across the board than most places in Austin, and the wine prices were as expected. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!

Thank you. I was on RC last week on the Explorer and their drinks are $2.00 more. I paid $8.95 for a Manhatten. Next week I will be on the Amsterdam for a back to back and glad to see HAL still has the class not to take advantage of people. I had done RC last year, same cruise, and it wasn't that bad. But this year EVERYTHING went down hill. NEVER again.

On RC -- are the drinks a 1 ounce pour or 1 1/2 ounce pour?

Could you please elaborate how everything went downhill on your RC cruise? :)

Thanks so much for posting this KK. You did a great job with the pictures IMO:) I still haven't even figured out how to post a pic on cc:)

 

Looks like a beverage card will be worthwhile for some:)

I tried resizing photos to meet CC guidelines but kept getting error messages. Several others have had the same problem.

So I just gave up and joined Photobucket and then just copy and paste my pictures here. Most times they take.

Thank you for taking the time to post KK. The list looks very compelling, however the wine list confirms I will be going to Total Wine in FLL to bring aboard a better personal selection. The drink prices seem fairly reasonable.

out of curiosity...are the blended drinks made individually or do they have the slushie type machines...like for margaritas??? I know sometimes bars by the pool have the machines because there is a higher demand for them there...

 

just looked at the menu again...and figure from the variety of beverages, I am guessing they are all made fresh.

 

 

On our Dec sailing on the Noordam, the blended drinks were all made individually.

Mixology class (generally offered on sea days) is a great way to mingle and taste some of the new drinks they have introduced.

There is also a new wine list for the dining -- I only noticed 2 changes from the old list -- and prices on the bottles of wine did not go up.

I have the list but have not had time to write it up.

[mamaofami]

KK, is your dining room wine list specific only to Noordam?

No -- it is fleet wide.

This is why my husband & I both have $200 drink cards. I want to try, x, y, & Z - then go back & have a, b, & C.

I assume that you bought the drink cards before the prices went went up? (two $100 drink cards for $90 each?)

[patzimbo]

Fantastic work, looking forward to sampling some of the offerings! Saving now ... and dieting!

[Sir PMP]

the prices of the daily drink and the speciality drinks having gone up a little.

 

Thanks a lot for letting us know, now my bar bill will be another $100 more....

[NoobCruise]

Now I want a drink lol

 

It's nice to know the drink prices are comparable to what I'd pay here in a restaurant or bar, maybe even cheaper.

 

It also looks like if you drink a lot, you can save money ordering the alcohol for your cabin too. We don't drink much, but I'm looking forward to drinks on our balcony :)

[PathfinderEss]

Thanks KK, I'll have to put a little more in my shipboard acc. for these new drinks and a little price change.

We always buy a couple of bottles so that we can have drinks on the verandah as well.

Thanks KK. Some of those martinis look great! I can't wait to try them.

Thank you so much for posting this information. Looking forward to trying a few. :)
