OctCruzer Posted January 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Going on the Coral soon. Does anyone know if there is a happy hour for the "general public" - that is, not the Elite/Suite/Platinum? I read on a different post that $2.99 drink specials are offered from 8:00 p.m. to a certain time, but I'm looking for 4-5 p.m. or something like that.

shecruise Posted January 26, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I do not think there is a 4 - 5 pm happy hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted January 26, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have never seen a reduced drink price between 4-5 PM on any Princess ship, sorry! That is the popular pre-dinner drink time for early seating, and I doubt they will ever drop the price of drinks at that time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopperhop Posted January 26, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2011 For me every hour on the cruise is a "Happy Hour"!!:) And I don't even drink. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Hour is what it's called and only after 8:00 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivienne Posted January 28, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just back from the Sea Princess and Happy Hour seemed to be a well kept secret that after 8 pm you could get four different beers and three cocktails and some mixers for 2.99 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ships I've been on recently (Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald and Coral) the menus were prominently displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Ocean P in May it was mentioned most (all?) days in the Patter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted January 28, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2011 On the Crown, it was publicized daily in the Patter. Also, there was a menu on the back of the bar menu. Great value for $2.99 plus 15 percent gratuity. Only after 8 p.m. though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the Patter every day and on the drink menus very prominently displayed at every bar on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asctony Posted January 28, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just looked at our Island Princess Patters and they do not show any happy hour with special drinks after 8PM? So, apparently every ship has their own prices????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, apparently every ship has their own prices????? It was on the back page, bottom left-hand corner of every Patter during our 12 nights on the Diamond. Every ship is responsible for printing up their own Patters, but not sure why they wouldn't have that included on the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every ship is responsible for printing up their own Patters, but not sure why they wouldn't have that included on the Island. Back page, bottom of page 1 1/2" block shows Shore Excursions information. I can not find any info on drinks other than Legal drinking age and 15% srvice charge for all bar and wine bills. So, there is no standard on printing data in the Patters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Island last October and it was advertised on the back of most of the drink menus throughout the ship - even on the back of the coffee menu in the Patisserie. I took advantage of it numerous times... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where consistency is lacking. Things change even during a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivienne Posted January 29, 2011 #19 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It was definitely not in the Princess Patter on the Sea Princess and we didn't notice it on the drinks menu. A passenger mentioned it to us and said he had seen it at the bar, but most people don't go to the bar and get served by the waiters, and other people it was mentioned to didn't appear to know about it. We did rather like paying $2.99 rather than $6.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
