Rare Acrusa Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Doing an eighteen night cruise this January. Does anyone know what nights the Captains' cocktail party and the repeat cruises cocktail parties take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola911 Posted August 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The evenings vary...I could look back in my Currents newsletters and they are never exact with different cruises. If you are thinking the parties might conflict with dinner reservations they do not. Unless you are 6:00 pm diners. We usually booked 7:30 and could do both.

Jancruz Posted August 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Lola is correct never on the same nights as it depends on the itinerary.. Jancruz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ronrick1943 Posted August 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2014 But think about it, do you really want to get pushed and pulled in a room with 250 +people just for a free drink. Your on vacation, enjoy yourself-relax have a drink with a few people you enjoy. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not as packed as happy hour, it is quite a bit to go through for a free drink. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypercafe Posted August 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2014 When they have the party there are free drinks in most bars during the hours of the party. On the last trip Captain made rounds of all bars to say hello so their was not a mob scene . Sent from my XT1032 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1032 using Forums mobile app Yes, we were quite surprised on our cruise when the server (we were not in Horizons) told us there was no charge for the drinks because it was Captain's party night. It was just one of the things that caused us to realize that O was a cut above the mass markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted August 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Last trip we couldn't even get into the door it was so packed. Since we took the Prestige Package, all the drinks were free, so we went elsewhere for more scenery and some peace and quiet. IMO, seems to be a bigger event for those not on the package than those that are. I believe on that cruise they only recognized those with 20 or more sailing. Otherwise, they might have been there all night calling names for recognition! :D O won't want to pass out free drinks that long! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted August 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2014 After reading the thread, Just Returned from the Marina, I changed my mind about the Captain's Reception based on these two sentences: "The captain’s cocktail hour is one of the most generous at sea. It starts at 6:30pm until 8pm. Only the most expensive single malts and brandies are excluded. At that event, no shot glasses were used!" So, if I did not have the alcohol package, I would definitely attend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted August 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Many do not know that you are not limited to what the servers have on the trays. They will make you ANY drink you want at those parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniewales Posted August 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 16, 2014 How many cruises with O do you have to do before you get invited to these parties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted August 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 16, 2014 How many cruises with O do you have to do before you get invited to these parties? Everyone is invited to the Captain's Welcome Party. For the Oceania Club Party you need to have cruised with O only once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of DaNile Posted August 16, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks Laraine-did not know they would make anything. Will definitely try to attend next week. With our port intensive itinerary a package makes no sense but I sure would like to try it on a future cruise:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
