Can I get gingerale or Shirley Temples in the dining room at dinner?

[snoopy5386]

We have only cruised Princess before (where you have to buy a soda card and get all of your soda at the bar) and my favorite things to get were always shirley temples or ginger ales. I know I can't get these at the soda station on Deck 9 but I was wondering if they were available at the sit down restaurants for no charge?

You most certainly can get Shirley Temples at dinner. Two girls at our table enjoyed them every evening. It became a contest to see who had the most cherries in their drink!

Yep, my 3 DDs got Shirley temples every night on our last cruise at the beginning of August. My girls became obssessed with the number of cherries in their drinks and trying to tie knots in the stems with their tongues.

I was able to get ginger ale at dinner in March.

Coke and grenadine? MMMM interesting. I'm not much of a fan of alcohol so I LOVE Shirly Temples when I can get one. Ginger Ale has just become my family's favorite drink and awesome for settling a upset tummy. Glad we can get it.

You can also ask your server if he/she knows any special SODA/POP flavors -- my nephew got a new drink each night - fresh orange soda - all kinds of great things - and LOTS LOTS AND LOTS of shirley temples...

Are the Shirley Temple's complimentary?

 

[alwayslisad]

Yes during dinner - yes to your hearts content!

They also make them for free in the teen club.

Where these different mixes or just regular soda flavors?

Okay two questions:

1) Would it be weird for an adult to order a Shirley Temple? I mean, I know it is a "kiddie cocktail," but considering my teatotaling ways, it might be right up my alley.

2) Do they make it with the traditional ginger ale, or is it made with the more contemporary Sprite/7 up? Or do they ask?

I had one every night last year AND it came with a bowl of cherries. They are made with Sprite - didn't even ask.

I order one every night..I don't do alcoholic beverages. My "kids", teens and twenties, also order them at dinner. No charge.

Yay! I cannot wait.

Also, from the photos I have seen, it did not look like there was a lot of grenadine in the drink. Do they use grenadine in their Shirley Temples or just the cherries?

On our upcoming cruise I am actually going to ask the Asst Server to CUT DOWN ON the number of cherries that he puts in DD's shirley temple! It was overwhelming, especially when they keep bringing refills. I'm ok with a couple of day-glo marischino cherries a day in her diet, but not twenty!

(Yes, I am a mean mom)

Weird or not, and I can often specialize in "weird" , I'll order them whenever I feel like one and don't want an acholholic beverage. No one has ever batted an eye though I often get smiles.
It's not often but who cares what anyone thinks, if you want one, get one!

I ordered a Roy Roger, my DDs ordered a Shirley Temple and our tablemates DD ordered a ginger ale every night for dinner.

our boys loved the shirley temples at dinner. the faces lit up and just made them feel special.

I was so busy thinking about myself (happens too much) that I didn't think about Ds6 having a special drink. I'll have to put a note about free shirley temple's etc in my tips collection.
