Review summary

Missed not having a midnight desert buffet (otherwise food was really good). If you get the cheers package, you and your roommate are usually required to be present when ordering 2 drinks (can be a problem when one of you is in the pool or food line). A little more time in each port would be nice. With the cheers package you should be allowed to get a double shot!

Next time upon embarkation get your drinks from the bar you will be frequenting the most. That first afternoon you both might need to be present to get 2 drinks at one time, but by day 2 the bartender will remember who you are with. Most will at that point will allow you, by using both cards, to get the 2 drinks after a quick scan of the crowd for your cabin mate. Also by visiting the same bartender and tipping a little ($1 per 2 drinks) goes a long way to them remembering how you like your drinks.

Not sure what you drink but just for future reference ask the bar tenders what is the best drink for your buck. My husband learned that quick. I drink mojito’s and they have double shot of rum. But he drinks crown, so his was single shots. You can Order a crown Manhattan I think is what it’s called and it is a double shot of crown with vermouth He likes them.
