What are your favorite drinks on an NCL cruise?

[Oakman58]

In the morning I like one or two Mimosas, my wife likes Peach Bellinis.  In the afternoon I like Mudslides while my wife likes Rum and Coke, sometimes we'll throw in a couple of beers.  In the evening it's strictly wine.  We like to end our evening with some wine while sitting on our balcony enjoying the weather and fresh air.  The fresh air on the balcony is the one reason I will never book a cruise on a Celebrity ship has those Infinite Balconies.

 I loved another drink that WAS at Food Republic.  I believe it was called Revolutionary Cure.  Wish I knew the the ingredients for that one🤔

Now you have me curious.  Sadly, we aren't cruising for awhile!

Thanks @ggTexasGal

That is a great list!   When we were last in the Haven, I asked the bartender to make me an Emperor's Nectar (as on your list), but he didn't have all the ingredients.  He came close though!

I love the emperor’s nectar.  I’ve Asked for it at bars before too and was told they didn’t have all the ingredients😢

Macallan and Hennessey XO.  I got introduced to Chimay beer at the district brew house on the Escape and loved it.  I also tried at least half of the beers they had on tap.  That is what the P+ is for 🙂

The martini bar used to have something called a "Lavender Patch Martini" (I think that's what it was called). I remember it fondly and it's one of the things I miss since moving on from NCL.

We have a match. I'll make a note to see if I can find one on the Prima.

EDIT: after seeing @ggTexasGal's post, I realized I forgot the Getaway and Mr Worldwide (introduced to me by @JamieLogical). This list is awesome, BTW

Do you know which bar the lavender patch was at please?

The Martini bar is where I had it.

Saturn Landing in the Mojito Bar 

[Antimony]

Painkiller, Rum cake martini, Dark and stormy, and the ginger mojito from the mojito bar. I tried a ton of new drinks on the Gem (thanks to the upgraded drinks package) and liked most of them, but these were the ones I kept coming back to.

Handsome Johnny.  Named after the late John Prine.

 

Vodka and (preferably, diet) ginger ale.

[complawyer]

in no particular order chivas on the rocks, mojito, cold glass of champagne, ice cold heineken, after dinner cappuccino and always an ice cold can of pepsi. to my utter dismay, this is no longer available on any ncl ship, and coke just wont do. SIGH!

[gknep]

French Manhattan from the. Whiskey Bar.

Never heard of this. Found a nice recipe from David Leibovitz so I can pre-try this tonight ahead of my cruise 😋

The variation that NCL serves (on The Encore at least) is bourbon (or rye), Chambord, bitters, and a Luxardo cherry. Both recipes make for great cocktails.

I haven't been on NCL for awhile and can't find on the website but wondering what soft drink brands they serve. I am kind of picky when it comes to my mixers. TIA

[complawyer]

now, mostly coke products. i guess ncl thought "rum and coke" was much more alliterative than rum and pepsi. and who can forget good old mountain dew. gone but not forgotten! LOL

[Cruisin Krissy]

Uh oh...so my hubby won't be able to get his morning Mountain Dew?  Are you allowed to bring your own on the ship (Getaway)?

I found "Dark and Stormy" on a Princess cruise, but everyone makes it.  Simple, Ginger Beer, Dark Rum and a splash of lime.  All depends on the type of rum.  Definitely call out Goselins.  Meyers is acceptable substitute.  Great for pre-dinner.

 

 

A proper Dark 'N Stormy is ALWAYS Gosling's Rum... they created it, and it's trademarked.  Anything else is just not a Dark 'N Stormy. (And it's how I start EVERY cruise, within 5 minutes of embarkation! 😉 Cheers!

Michelob Ultra most of the time.   Mudslides, Chocolate Grasshoppers, Bushwackers, and just about anything with a  decent quality vodka in it when I want something different.

Looking at the most recent bar list (just put out last month) Ultra isn't on there any more... can anyone confirm?

Many of those have been consumed by me in a hot tub.
