Mudhen Posted March 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Perhaps I've missed answers to these questions. If so, please excuse me! Can anyone tell me what champagne SS uses as it's normal pour? What tequila is used in the bars? Is Hendrick's gin around? What is the story about caviar? Extra pay? not served at all? Are there any special or unique to SS dishes that we should not miss? Thanking you all in advance! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WesW Posted March 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Am hoping they serve our fav pasta dish on the new Cloud as an expedition ship next October as we sail the Chilean fjords. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted March 12, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Duly recorded! Sounds like a fan favorite....will have to try! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted March 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) The duck ragu is really good...I have a recipe to make it at home and it's a close approximation. In fact, I made it for dinner today. It's a ton more work, though! I prefer to get it at LT. Edited March 12, 2017 by jpalbny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted March 13, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The duck ragu is really good...I have a recipe to make it at home. Looking good JP! Those are some of the widest pappardelle noodles I've ever seen. Good for soaking up that sauce I bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudhen Posted March 13, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any further info on libations?! Are there any cocktails that SS is known for? On Crystal there are quite a few that are unique to the line. Didn't know if SS has anything like that. Champagne? Hendrick's? Patron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted March 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any further info on libations?! Are there any cocktails that SS is known for? On Crystal there are quite a few that are unique to the line. Didn't know if SS has anything like that. Champagne? Hendrick's? Patron? My take is that they have a few but we like our standards so usually stick with those. I think, and it might depend on a particular bartender's skills, that they will recommend something or have you try something different. Since it's all inclusive it's not like they're counting drinks. I'm a martini drinker and prefer my Bombay Sapphire dry with olives. Bartender suggested I try Plymouth gin so he made up a martini with it. Way too much juniper for me and he just emptied the drink down the drain. I think Mrs K has tried a few specialty drinks and has enjoyed some and others not so much. It's very relaxed and my feeling is they'll make what you want the way you want it and if you're adventurous and want to try something new they more than happy to do that too. We've had nothing but great bartenders on our Silversea cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emtbsam Posted March 13, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 13, 2017 One of the fun things we have done is a blind tasting of every brand they have of a certain liquor such as rum, vodka, single malt, etc. The results were surprising! One bartender also gave us a unique test which was 8 glasses of clear liquids which we had to identify. It sounds easy, but I nearly mis-identified water. These are experiences you probably would never have on land if you had to pay for each of the drinks. We found the best places to do it were in the Panorama Lounge or the Observation Bar (on the Spirit) which are less busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted March 13, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2017 And to go with the trend... we're on Silver Explorer this Oct-Nov from Guayaquil to Santiago. Just put the finishing touches on an independent post-cruise visit to Easter Island! This looks like a fun area to cruise.
