Sangria on Ships?

[Yvonne]

I've always enjoyed some of the "drinks of the day" on the cruise ships, but I have found that I really love sangria so I'm just wondering if that is available on the ships (specifically the Dream)?

It's been a few years, but I know we once got a pitcher of sangria from the Serenity Deck bar...not sure if it's always available, or was some kind of sea day special.

I ordered Sangria in the MDR a couple of times on the Glory in October.

I am a Sangria drinker. It is difficult to find and depends on the bartender. I have been told, "we don't serve Sangria" and I have been told "I can make you a glass but with limited fruit" And this has been on the same ship. It makes it difficult for the servers with the inconsistencies. Ask and ask again. Or you can just detail to the bartender how to make. Whatever your drink enjoy your cruise.

That's not really sangria, though, is it? For actual Sangria, you have to let the fruit and win marinate together for a while. Otherwise, you're just putting fruit in a glass of wine.

BYOS and add fruit from the buffet area.

And you still need brandy and/or orange liqueur. And possibly fruit juice. And maybe club or lemon lime soda as well. So if you don't care about the fruit, and you can find a good bartender you should be able to get something that's almost sangria.

While it is better to allow the fruit marinate in the wine there is so much more to Sangria than wine. Also if the fruit is muddled in the glass with the other spirits it works quite well. I want Sangria not fruit salad.
