Does the silhouette.have the happy hour in a lounge or is it like rccl and it's x amount of drinks at any bar.

 

[cruisestitch]

It is unlimited drinks from a special menu from 5-7 pm at nearly every bar or lounge, not on the first night and not in the dining room

Neither.  As @cruisestitch said, there is a drink list from which Elite and above can choose at MOST bars between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm.

The mods should make a sticky for Elite happy hour , as there are more questions about this compared to the move up program 

[Marcus305]

Can someone who likes fruity rum drinks like me suggest what I can order from the Elite (5 - 7 pm) special menu?  The last time I was on a Celebrity ship it seemed like a hassle to get a rum punch 😒.  I do not like rum & coke and assume that I can get a basic rum & cranberry juice, but I would appreciate some alternatives.  Thanks.

Maybe try the Sunset bar as they will have the “punch” mixers on hand.

There isn't much.

 

The celebrity elite drinks menu is both very limited and 'old school' in its selection.

[cruisestitch]

This is the menu of choices available to you.

Thanks, I'll definitely give this a try.

I'm familiar with the menu, but Celebrity is presumably not expecting its guests to order Bacardi white rum straight.  I was looking to see what rum drinks people have ordered using the Elite benefit.

[cruisestitch]

Rum & coke

rum & Orange juice

rum & 7-up

 

[Boston lab girl]

We have also been able to get vodka  and cranberry juice so I am sure you can get rum and cranberry juice.

I don't order rum drinks but what I have done with other drinks is ask the bartender or lounge server. They always came up with a suggestion that worked with the Elite benefit.

You could always order a daiquiri or mojito .   But if you want additional suggestions look here.

Daiquiris and mojitos are not on the Elite Happy Hour menu

Are you saying you can't order on and it be made with the Happy Hour rum?  
 

[cruisestitch]

Pretty much.  Those cocktails are not on the list.  So it isn’t just the rum that’s the question, it’s what goes with the rum to make the cocktail: the flavorings, the mixers, the mint.

This essentially gets at the crux of my question.  What rum drinks have other cruisers been able to get from bars using the Elite menu?

First off , you shouldn’t be ordering white rum 🤢

try a dark and stormy, dark rum and ginger beer

I was "scolded" by a very young waiter in one of the other bars for ordering a mojito but the guys in the sky lounge, where we usually go, will make it for me? I think it depends on the bar (and the waiters who know you will tip them).

It is really dark rum  and a soda , both allowed , the trick is to find a bar that has ginger beer soda 😉

Obviously rum and coke. The Elite benefit is limited. It is not for fancy or premium drinks. If you want fancy or premium drinks pay for them. What I usually order from using the Elite benefit is beer or gin and tonic. They make gin and tonics with Beefeater which is a decent gin. There is no loophole unless you have found a server who you can smooze something better by bribing with good tips. But instead of doing that you could just pay for the rum drink you want.
