On November 8, my wife and I sail on the Steven Kane Radio Cruise to the Caribbean on the Celebrity Silhouette for six days. I upgraded my drink package so I will be able to drink pretty much any type of liquor I want. I am treating this cruise as sort of a Booze U in which I will educate myself in new drinks. Therefore I am looking for your suggestions in the comments as to what drinks I should try.
When my cruise is over, I will upload some videos of my drink reviews. Hopefully you will be able to understand them because my speech could be quite slurred.
So go ahead and suggest away!!!
Bottled water
Nope! I got an upgraded drink package so I could DRIIIIINK!!!
On a cruise ship when I already have a drink package. Sorry. No can do. I'm thinking of this cruise as Booze U where I go go on a voyage of discovery of new drinks...not water.
What climate are you accustomed to? Yeah, I know....To what climate are you accustomed?
Seconds. Then thirds!
90 proof bourbon, easy on the rocks
With drink packages, upgraded or not ... if you board ship on Saturday the idea is to be money ahead by the following Tuesday. Achieving that will require some serious elbow bending.
Painkiller:
2.0 oz Pussers Rum (or Mt. Gay Eclipse rum)
4.0 oz Pineapple juice
1.0 oz Orange juice

2.0 oz Goslings Black Seal Rum

1.5 oz. champagne

You will need a nap after a couple!
“What Are YOUR Drink Suggestions for My Caribbean Cruise?”
DON”T !!!
I liked zombies when i was younger and more resilient
But you need to drink at least 6 of them
A note on extending your vacation that has served us well...get up early on the am, eat breakfast and start drinking heavily, eat lunch at noon, pass out 3 hours and start over...its like getting two days out of one
Or.....a “FULL GALE” if you want to really get hammered.
After what happened in the Dominican Republic, I wouldn’t drink anything but cans of beer.
