New Happy Hour on the Crown

[Working 2 Cruise]

I know there's a new happy hour... from 3:00 to 4:00, buy one, get one free and from 11:00 p.m. to 12: a.m. in Skywalkers.

 

My questions are: (1) Where do they hold this for the 3 to 4 p.m.? Also, how does it work? Are the drinks half price or do they bring you two?

 

We've had a very bad two years, but it seems that the bad times are a almost over, and I'm expecting things to really improve by February but things are still tight right now!

 

Thanks everyone!

It was in the Wheelhouse bar in mid-Oct. It's 2 for 1, so you order what you'd like and get a 2nd free. We ordered a Margarita and got two - pretty nice deal :) If there's no place to sit you can order and take them to go. It gets pretty busy in the afternoon, so go early if you want to sit and relax in the bar.

Thanks! Things are a little tight right now, so that'll help. Believe it or not,I don't drink at home... only on cruises!

Only on the Crown or is it fleet wide?

It was on the Grand last month

[Ltonjn]

Thanks for the info

[ar1950]

Except for embarkation day, they had it on the Golden 4 day segment of our B2B. Did not see it on the 3 day segment.

It is on the CB and Ruby.

[Topo Gigio]

So, looks like it is fleet wide.

[jackieo]

It was on the Royal in October - 3pm to 4pm in Crooners. They got extra bar tenders in for that hour, there were about 9 of them behind the bar. It was excellent entertainment, and it was packed most days!

[arizonaperson]

I will be on The Crown in December,hope this 2 for 1 is still happening.:)

Sounds as if it has been held in Crooner's,Wheelhouse, or Skywalkers.

Is this special advertised in The Patter or word of mouth at the bars?

[ready2cruzagain]

I know it was in the patters on the CB. Others have said it was posted on some ships at the bar.

[Mythros]

Anyone know if it is being offered on the Island Princess?

[Thumper69]

There goes the beverage calculator. :eek:

[msmoger]

Are there restrictions as to what drinks are eligible for the 2 for 1 offer? For instance, can you order a martini with premium gin? Of course I'll be in good shape if I down two consecutive martinis. :p

 

Thanks,

[molme]

I hope it is still there when we sail on the Crown in May.

Nina, I can second that! I'm the official designated driver in our family, but do enjoy adult beverages on the ship. So far none of the ship's captains have asked me to drive the ship so all is good! LOL

[Neonsport]

Anyone have any experience ordering multiples? Say ordering 3 beers and getting 6? Just thinking that if they let you do that it would be a better deal then the "buy 5 get the 6th free"

The BOGO deal was recently available on the Royal Princess: 3:00 to 4:00 in Crooner's and 11:00 to midnight in Club 6.

Good thing we don't have to drive the ship... There's also no way I'm going to get the all inclusive beverage package for our cruise to Tahiti! Yikes!

Hi Frank! How was your cruise?

There was a post a bit ago saying yes that the poster did find that a better deal and he bought several and just didn't have them opened. I'd carry along something to carry them back to the room. ;) Now if I could get them to pour my "extra" wine into an empty bottle..:D

We noticed a lot of people bought bottles of beer and got some free. They asked for them to remain unopened. Heck some people brought their princess bag down to transport them back to the cabin!

 

You get the same drink free. Hubby had Strongbow but I ordered a small bottle of Korbel then asked for only one to be opened then took the other to the cabin for sail ways etc. this worked well for us.

[annecolorgreen]

very interesting! what types of beer are available on board?

[Waimea'sMom]

Ooh, if you can get the Korbel champagne split unopened, my mom and I are going to be working this deal on the Grand and Pacific! :)

[Av8tor]

If I remember correctly, on the Grand last month they at least had Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light, Dos Equis & Grolsch (with the re-sealable flip-top) in bottles and Stella plus some others on tap. I think other ships have pretty much the same selection...
