Joe817 #1 Posted July 22 I normally drink beer. But I think I'll celebrate the Sail Away with something special. Maybe something more than my favored scotch & water. Maybe a tropical fruity drink, like a Hurricane. What's yours? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyFan33579 #5 Posted July 22 We are usually at the Alchemy Bar during sail away. Drink depends on what I am in the mood for at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carolina Girl 99 #6 Posted July 23 for me it's typically a Miami Vice or Lava Flow 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cruisin*tigger #7 Posted July 23 I don’t usually drink Appletinis at home, but it’s usually my first (or second or third 🍸)cocktail on board at the lobby bar. 😁 B7A7D757-BC28-4D29-8927-1CB8D8173C35.MOV 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funship is the drink of the day on the first day of the cruise. Servers will be walking around with trays of them. It's a pretty good rum punch type drink. A few of them will get you there! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While the Miami Vice is a swirled blend of Pina Colada & Strawberry Daiquiri, the Lava Flow is similar with pineapple, coconut and strawberry flavors swirled together, sometimes with a banana and sometimes not depending on who makes them 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe817 #16 Posted July 23 (edited) Frank12, you've convinced me. After intense negotiations and deliberations, my wife & I have decided to celebrate our very first cruise with a Funship Special. Takes me back to our bar crawl days when we were doing NOLA French Quarter back when we were young. Thank you all for the suggestions!

lasvegascruising #17 Posted July 23 I, too, vote for a funship. I think they have a pretty good kick to them and are tasty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THANK YOU for the warning about the Pretty Good Kick to them, I shall make sure to bring some biscuits with me, so I'm NOT drinking on an empty stomach. Been warned by an ex-ambulance officer about the possible nasty consequences. He told me to, "Get yourself some cookies to help absorb the alcohol and you should be safe. And ENJOY IT!" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alleghator #24 Posted July 23 For past cruises, I'd sometimes get a Funship and sometimes nothing. But this time, we have Cheers, so I'll definitely have something fruity in my hand! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
