Champagne Waterfall

[Jules59]

I should know this, but which formal night do they do the champagne waterfall?

[floridalover5623]

The first formal night.

Not what it use to be. It was later at night and the MDR staff would join in and dance. Really minimal now. The MD used to set it up, now just crew members.

Thanks so much for your quick response!

I've always see the Maitre'd or hotel manager for the Champagne Waterfall.

On our Dawn Princess cruise in August, the Captain and the HM spoke at the champagne waterfall, and the Maitre'd did the pics with guests while pouring. It was pretty nicely done. Plenty of other staff there

If it weren't for the lollipops we wouldn't go at all. :D

Were you on the Regal in Nov and Dec? Just saying what we saw on those 2 cruises. The MD did not build it.

Does the captain still have a speech at least? I know on our last cruise it was earlier than years before.

The waterfall is part on the Captain's reception. It also is the first formal night.

The first formal and it's just another way for them to sell more pictures of you hold the bottle with the Matre d.

Which you are forced to pose for, and buy, correct? Princess is in the cruise business to make money, remember? If they aren't profitable, they aren't going to be selling any more cruises...

Amen to that.

Actually there weren't as many people lining up for pouring on our last few cruises as there have been in the past. Maybe it's getting to be an old thing for many.

Agree with CruiserBruce, cruise line doesn't do this for free! Like any company they are in it to make money. If you don't want a service they offer, dont buy it!

Forced to buy? Really? Not with my experiences.

You always have the option of shooting your own photo of the pouring. ;)
