We're signed up for this on our upcoming Fantasy cruise. Can anyone who's done it recently tell me what the experience was like? Is it a tasting now or do you still mix drinks?
Hah! I am pretty sure we were in the same session as you. Our opinion was exactly the same right down to the hyperness. It was really rushed too.We did it on the Fantasy Dec 27. I didn't think it was very good. It's just a tasting...they give you 4 drinks that are pre-made. They were mostly already made before we showed up. For some of the drinks, they added one ingredient just before serving. The guy presenting was very hyper and nervous. He didn't really explain how to make the drinks, but he did say what was in them. We did Champagne tasting a few days later and it was far, far better.
When your booking window opens up to book your "Plans" and port adventures.When do you sign up for these?
Thank you for letting me know. We've booked a Martini tasting in addition to the Mixology since previously, the Mixology was so different than the others as it was so hands on, etc. With them now so similar I will cancel one so another cruiser can enjoy the experience.We did it on the Fantasy Dec 27.

On our last cruise I did the Chocolate and Liquor tasting and absolutely loved it!Hah! I am pretty sure we were in the same session as you. Our opinion was exactly the same right down to the hyperness. It was really rushed too.
However, we did the Chocolate and Liquor tasting the next day and that one was great. Easily the best tasting experience as far as learning things and discussing pairings that we have done on our eight cruises.
Our cruise last week has a private on fantasyDoes anyone know if they are still offering the private mixology classes? We did one on our last cruise and it was fun. Just wondering if they still offer it with Covid now

Organizer, far in advance and you don’t get that money back for ANY reason. So you would have lost it on your last sailing.Did you have to pay the organizer or did DCL charge the participants stateroom directly? I would love to do this but with Covid so many unknowns. We tested positive within 10 days of our January sailing and had to cancel.
