Sonny- on our cruise with Princess- they had a "special" martini one 
evening. All 4 of us got one. Supposed to be with Grey Goose vodka- I know 
not what they used- but it was AWFUL! At $7.50 per pop. We kept our bar bill 
down by buying wine off shore at every stop. You can bring a bottle each 
aboard at each stop. Works well for cocktail hour before dinner. Stasys
