jamesnnb Posted August 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2015 With the drink packages being promoted -- we were wondering if the nightly Elite/Plat Event has changed at all? Still the same $5 for 'special' drinks? Does anyone have the current 'menu' of snacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted August 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2015 In April drink prices were the same $5 & the nightly snack menu was the same as on previous cruises, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted August 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We're not familiar with the old menu -- what is offered each night? 1 featured drink and 1 hors d'oeuvres each night. Chips/Guac Stilton Steak tartare Shrimp Salmon to name a few nights offerings. El Mejor Margarita Chairman of the board can't remember the rest.

shredie Posted August 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We're not familiar with the old menu -- what is offered each night? Shrimp cocktail one evening. Guacamole, Stilton cheese, steak tartare, chips and salsa, etc. In addition to the evening offering, there will be cheese and crackers, olives, nuts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Cruiser78 Posted August 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2015 1 featured drink and 1 hors d'oeuvres each night... Is there a full bar in addition for those who don't care for the featured drink, but want to attend anyway? Or do you just grab a drink from elsewhere en route?

southpawsdakota Posted August 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They will serve you anything you want. If it is not the special drink of the night you will pay the going price. If you have the all-inclusive drink package it works there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UandMe4Ever Posted August 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi cruisers, Sorry we're not familiar with the nightly Elite/Plat Event. We are Platinum, but haven't "partaken', as for some reason did not know about it. Any helpful information/explanation is greatly appreciated! We are on the Regal, 10 night repo Oct. 24th. Thanks very much in advance. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partybarbie Posted August 26, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Some of the other drink offerings in the past have been a glass of port wine, Chairman of the Board Martini, Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Breeza Marina, and a Japanese Slipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much in advance. :-) On the Regal its held in Club 6 from 5pm-7pm. Not held on Captains Circle party nights. There should be a card/menu with all the nights of the cruise with the featured drink and the food for the night in your cabin, if not ask Stewart for one. Featured drink of the evening $5.

Thrak Posted August 26, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Stilton is good. Blue Stilton can be very good but I don't suppose Princess goes there with their selection. Our next cruise (September 21) will be our first as Platinum so we may check out the soiree but having read numerous posts here about it I don't have great expectations. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really enjoy talking to other cruisers we meet there, and we often chat with the same people for the duration of the cruise. The bar staff also become familiar to us, and we like to see our favorites each night. I also like the view when it's held in Skywalker's. On shrimp night, I'm in heaven. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Skywalker's as we will be sailing the canal on Coral Princess. I'm looking forward to the cruise and to the ship as we haven't sailed on Coral before. I definitely want to check out On The Bayou as I've read many positive reviews of that show. Now that Island Princess has been hacked up Coral is the only ship left with a venue for that show. (We sail on Island next June on the return portion of our cruise tour.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyVeteran Posted August 26, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Even though the menu is the same fleet wide, the quality varies greatly. As someone who grew up in Texas, I am particular about my guacamole. On one ship, a chef made the guacamole fresh at the table in front of us. It was some of the best guacamole I have ever tasted. On another ship, the guacamole was frozen - and not defrosted before serving. It was possibly the worst excuse for guacamole I have ever attempted to eat.

No worries about the Island. They are performing "On the Bayou" in the Princess theater. You'll get to see it both ways. :D On the Coral, the Elite/Platinum lounge will usually be in a sectioned off area of the Explorer's lounge. DH and I enjoy going. Sometimes the party band will play live music from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm. We generally would go down around 6:30 and have a snack and a drink before dinner.

waltd Posted August 26, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We still like going but it's just too close to dinner. Just another reason why the cloths seem to shrink by the end of the cruise. Wonder how it would work if they had it later in the evening after dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMM34667 Posted August 26, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 26, 2015 On the Regal its held in Club 6 from 5pm-7pm. If there is a wait for Anytime (and it's before 7pm) can one get a pager and go to Club 6 for the wait? I've wanted to go since becoming platinum but haven't yet.

capriccio Posted August 26, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No worries about the Island. They are performing "On the Bayou" in the Princess theater. You'll get to see it both ways. :D Have you seen it? I'm curious what changes (if any) where made to it since the scenery and blocking was done to incorporate the revolving stages on the Coral and the Island.

I'm looking forward to the cruise and to the ship as we haven't sailed on Coral before. You are going to love the Coral. Lounge will be in Explorer's but still fun. On our last Panama trip on Coral, the chef in charge of the appetizers in there was voted employee of the month on our trip. She (adorable girl from the Philippines) talked to everyone who came in to the lounge, and she made the guacamole in front of us in a very theatrical way. It was good, too. I envy you getting your first voyage on the Coral! Edited August 26, 2015 by shredie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
