This is called the Makr Shakr and they've partnered with Royal Caribbean Cruises to give a bar experience like no other.

    While a good bartender would be better, it would save on tipping - esp when you get crappy service! - For a cruse ship this seems to be a good solution - people are not as interested in gabbing with the keeper. Make my drink and if you can entertain me - even better.
