If sauvignon blanc is more your speed, the menu at Vintages offers several great options from Marlborough, New Zealand. Those looking for something richer and more full-bodied should try Two Hands’ “Gnarly Dudes” shiraz from Barossa Valley, South Africa, or a glass of Cheval des Andes from Mendoza, Argentina — a balanced blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals.

Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine.

Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

Like the Errai, which blends Patron Silver tequila and strawberry puree with Domaine Chandon and a sprinkle of black pepper. Or the Lodestar, a refreshing mix of Belvedere pink grapefruit vodka and melon liqueur topped with sparkling wine. If you prefer classic, spirit-forward cocktails, try the Dark N’ Stormy, made in the traditional style with Gosling’s dark rum, fresh lime and ginger beer. Or go for the Manhattan, made by cooling Maker’s Mark bourbon over ice and then pouring it into a vermouth-misted glass. If you like your cocktails on the sweeter, fruitier side, order a Passion in the City. It’s a winning combination of passion fruit puree, Chambord raspberry liqueur, and Belvedere vodka.

Treating teenagers more like adults, this programme is a way for them to meet new friends while they enjoy their favourite pastimes, from morning until 2am. As well as sports, gaming, pool parties, dancing and music, teens have their very own designated areas to hang out in such as The Living Room and Fuel teen night club.

The Living Room is a great space, with chairs and beanbags scattered around the room, surrounded by foosball, Xboxes and a widescreen TV for movies. Teens are allowed to come and go as they please in the Living Room, there no need to sign in or out.

Directly above is Fuel, the teen-only disco. There are dance parties most nights, often with a theme -- Miami night or '90s, for example -- as well as pool parties in the Solarium at the front of the ship.
