Default 2 for one cocktails

are the 2 for one cocktails offered on all hal ships, and would beer also be included? Is it at all bars or only certain ones. Will be going on prisendam nov 25th for 26 days and hope to take advantage of this deal. Thanx

On the S&R class ships the happy hour is only in the Ocean Bar and the Crows Nest. Beer is included.

On our recent Maasdam cruise (10/10/09) the 2 for 1 drinks were in the casino bar between 9 PM & 10 PM and at the Crow's Nest between 10:30 PM & 11:30 PM. This made it a very late Happy Hour !

Am beginning to think they change this constantly to mess with all of us - seems that most ships do 2 for 1 at some time but the variables are the time, place and available items- beginning to think that I do not care as long as there is some kind of 2 for 1 .
Eurodam last spring did 2 for 1 Ocean Bar and Crows Nest 5:30-6:30 and no wine or beer - go figure

A few weeks ago on the Westerdam happy hour was in the Ocean Bar from 5 - 6pm. Occasionally they would also have one from 9 - 10pm in the Crow's Nest. Beer was included.

Default Is this new?

we have sailed a lot on HAL and I don't remember ever seeing a 2/1 offer. Do they list in on daily sheet? Is it only early as we get to Ocean bar just before late seating.

On our recent cruises, it's been 2 for 1 from 4:30 to 5:30 pm in the Ocean Bar. The only reason WE knew was because I went to the bar to grab a drink to take back to the cabin, and I got TWO. That was a bit embarassing I think it is listed in the Daily program, but we never really pay attention to the "bar hours/drink of the day" info.

Just checked -- it WAS listed in our Daily program for our Alaska cruise this spring.

. . . last fall on the Rotterdam. Just go with the flow. That's what cruising is all about. It lets you develop a taste for beer AND wine AND the hard stuff. Whatever is 2 for 1 is my drink of choice!!!

We discovered this on our Ryndam Sea of Cortez cruise last November AFTER we had purchased a wine card and a cocktail card. It was in the Ocean Bar, though I do not remember the hours-we had a late dinner sitting, and it was prior to dinner.. I do remember they did not accept the cards we had purchased for 2 for 1's. Think we will skip the card purchases on our next cruise.

It was either 4 to 5 pm or 4:30 to 5:30 pm. It was the Sea of Cortez cruise we discovered the 2 for 1 on. Yes that WAS me with 2 Mojitos in my hands, heading back to the cabin. And would you believe NO ONE would help me drink 'em?
