Mixology contest?

[windan]

Does anyone know if they still have a guest mixology contest on the ships? We will be cruising on the Pride in September. I remember there used to be one but on my last few cruises I didn't pay attention. Thank you

They had it on the Fascination in April :)

They had it on the Conquest two weeks ago. First sea day, right before the Hairy Chest Competition.

Kind of a related question does anyone know of a list of what ingredients they have to choose from for the contest

[Kcruiser2014]

I was in it last week. Drink tasted great, but looked awful! Didn't win, but had fun. Basically, you had unlimited juices, I think pineapple, orange, cranberry types. Also could choose up to three mixers, including things like blue curaçao, melon , peach schnapps, etc. but only one base liquor. I know that rum, tequila and vodka were choices there, but there were others I cannot remember. Make it pretty and come up with a cute name. Schmooze a little with the person running the contest, as I think it helps. Most of all, have fun!!

On our Legend cruise the Mixology contest seemed to actually be judged based on the drink. The winners of the Mixology contest on my last two Carnival cruises however, seemed to go to the girls in the tiniest of bikinis and the ones that could shake their assets the most. They could have had Kool-aide in those glasses and still won!

 

 

It was the same with the Hairy Chest Contest..... Chest Hair does not determine the winner..... The guy that got down the naughtiest with the wooden-stick-pony won the prize on this one...... Cover little Johnny's eyes cause it's not for the kiddies.

Marvelous post. Thanks for the laugh.

 

I do wonder though can you use a blender or only shake or stir for Mixology competition?

I'm 99% sure that they had blenders for the contestants to use..... There were a lot of the frozen type drinks so I'm almost positive that they were provided.

Ours on Magic last week was hand shaken only. No blender.

Did anyone see contestants using fresh fruits as ingredients?

[Kcruiser2014]

No fresh fruit last week on Magic. None were on the approved list to choose from.

Definitely following this thread. My husband makes the best drinks and I was telling him he needs to enter the contest this time. Its funny, just last night we were talking about this and wondering aloud what the ingredient options might be... and then this thread pops up :)

Do U pay to get in the contest?

If this is not exactly right, it is still pretty darn close to what we had last week on the Magic.

Nope, no charge, just show up at the appointed time and place!
