Firsttimecrzr Posted May 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2023 We would love to maximize the Cheers! package by ordering other specialty drinks (when we're not drinking cocktails). Has anyone tried any great coffee drinks, milkshakes, or mimosas onboard that you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted May 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I would usually have a couple mimosas or Bellini's every morning! I didn't notice them marketing any special mimosas but you can ask for any kind of juice to go with that you want! A local winery where I live does a mimosa flight with OJ, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice and cranberry juice. We enjoyed mixing and matching the flavors. One of my faves was OJ and champange with a splash of cranberry. I also like adding some mango to my mimosas. The Bellini's are made with peach schappes and I think I remember them having a special Birthday Bellini at the Sea Day Brunch one day that was tasty. Also - check out the Serenity bar for some different drink options. Lots of lighter drinks - spritzers, sparkling drinks plus some good sangrias. It was a fave location of ours on the last cruise, plus it's kind of off the beaten path so it's not usually as busy as the other outside bars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookworm1985 Posted May 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have gotten the specialty coffees before…i know one had Jameson, Kaluha, Baileys…i forget the other ones but they were all good 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapytobehr Posted May 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The milkshakes are yummy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted May 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2023 As for dessert drinks - you have to get the Tiramisu Martini. it is literally dessert in a glass! Just ask for it in a "walk-around" glass. Much easier to carry around than a martini glass filled to the brim. Unless, you're having it with dinner or seated at a bar and not going to walking around with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinqt Posted May 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2023 At the Shake Spot the spiked milkshakes are amazing. The Black Raspberry Truffle and the Kicked Up Island Delight are my go to drinks on any Carnival cruise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MississippiMom Posted May 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2023 We like to get Frappuccinos in the afternoon to get that needed caffeine boost. Most definitely grab some of the (included with Cheers) bottled drinks from the cafe to take to your cabin. Not sure what’s available now, but there used to be bottled teas, energy drinks and, of course, bottled waters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sitting here wondering why it would take you so long to drink it that you needed a walk-around glass. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted June 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Java Blue has plenty of options for coffee — you can also get the milkshakes spiked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen22 Posted June 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The Chocolate Lovers Coffee at Java Blue is fantastic. Try the Deal Closer at Alchemy...adult chocolate milk! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine5715 Posted June 18, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I order a glass of Moscato and then Orange juice to mix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allinwonderland Posted June 19, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2023 If you like spiked coffee (and sweet things), try this combination: white chocolate mocha with RumChata and Frangelico. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Often we would go to the casino bar cause the service was quicker than at other locations. Then we would just take our drinks down to where our friends were hanging out! Or I got a drink on my way to my salon appointment on formal night. Or on our way to dinner. But yes...your point is well received and valid! LOL The tiramisu martinis don't tend to last too long in whatever glass they give it to me in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbrianj Posted June 19, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I'm partial to the Irish coffee and last cruise I got it iced instead of hot. Very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sparks1093 Posted June 20, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Haven't gotten around to the milkshakes yet (but that Black Raspberry Truffle is now on my radar) but we've tried all of the spiked coffees (yummy) and have several moccachinos throughout the cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firsttimecrzr Posted June 20, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks for all of the suggestions! I am definitely going to try them on my next cruise!! Follow up question: does anyone know how much your typical mixed drink (margarita, mojito, etc) costs without the Cheers! package if you substitute their standard liquor for top shelf?

Unfortunately, no. Whenever I substituted a top shelf liquor in a drink the price on the slip (zeroed out because of Cheers) it was the same as listed on the menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
