island princess,where is the best place for sailing away

[jjssitters]

hi,our roll call is trying to decide on a meeting place to meet for a cc sail away party .where would be the best place. :)

Crooners bar or the Wheelhouse would be good. :)

[LARGIN]

Wheelhouse has my vote.. Much larger than Crooners

hi are these bars on the outside,there are only 21 of us .we were looking for an outside bar for sail away.how about the lido deck bar at the pool would this be good

I really think it depends on port of departure, and weather.

 

Were I on the Island or Coral, sailing from San Francisco in decent weather, I would opt for an outdoor bar, preferably towards the stern, port side, so I could get a good view of Alcatraz (which is off to starboard), Marina Green, the Presidio, Fort Point, and of course, the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge.

 

Most other domestic ports an interior bar would be fine with me.

Hi Jane,

 

I was on the Island Princess May 15th to Alaska. We tried to have a meet in Wheelhouse but it wasn't open before sailaway. Crooners and the pool bar were the only ones open (I think). Crooners is indoors so you might want to opt for the pool bar. There is a covered area there where you could meet if it were raining. You might want to be more specific, for instance specify that you will meet on the port or the starboard side outside of the Horizon Court as the pool area is pretty large. Also, I think there are bars on both the level of the pool and on the next deck up, which is kind of the pool "balcony". Horizon Court is on the pool level.

 

If you have any other Island questions I'd be happy to try and answer them.

hi amy, thank you, would you suggest the pool balcony is this open or enclosed

[coiran]

The best place for sailing away is on the ship!!!

[jjssitters]

thanks ron I am glad you told me that :D

[Amy1118]

Jane, the pool balcony is open. It would be great if the weather is nice because of better visibility. The level below is covered (by the balcony) so would be better in rainy weather.

We had our get together at the bar at the main pool and it worked well. We had just after sail away that way people could enjoy yhe view from their balcony.

Hi: we were on the Coral (sister to island) and we met at the Lido bar and it worked out great. There were tables there, we sat and drank also could see out the windows for sailway. You will have to decide whether starboard or port as some of your group may smoke which in that case would be portside. Hope this helps.
