tulman Posted April 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have heard they are $1. But, I could be wrong.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted April 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2010 No they are not free. The bars on the promenade offer drinks for $1.00 off during the Captain's reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted April 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Been this way for about 6 months now. You also wonder around and can see some of the ship's officers. They have a farewell party with free drinks but liked the old way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll change one day... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brekin67 Posted April 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2010 What is the Captain's reception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillian marie Posted April 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2010 It is a party of sorts where the ship officers are around and you can meet them. It used to be held in the ship's showlounge and had free drinks and the dance band played and people could dance. You went to it on elegant night before you dinner seating. On my last two cruises it was held on the Promenade area and music was in the adjoining lounges. Drinks are just a $1 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scm200 Posted April 16, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2010 sounds lame to me - we usually forgot to go to the captains reception on the last few cruises. now the past guest party we made a point of going to, but not the captains party as often. you are not missing much, the drinks were ucky anyway....70's throwback drinks - whiskey sour and watered down screw-drivers...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted April 16, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Unfortunately it is an excuse to get people to get dressed up so they can sell more pictures. Used to be a very nice activity and now kind of a waste of time. We bring a glass of wine walk around for a few minutes and than go occupy ourselves until dinner time.
