BOGO and Breakfast??

[DougMacP]

Last year Princess was doing a couple Happy Hour promotions per day...specifically Buy One Get One (hence BOGO) are they still doing that fleet wide?

 

Also, last year full suite passengers could have breakfast at Sabatini's, I don't see that currently listed as a perk. Gone?

The BOGO Happy Hour is buy-one-get-one-for-$1 and is still twice daily fleetwide.

 

If you refer to the Suite Overview PDF:

...the third item under food & dining is Complimentary Specialty Dining Mimosa Breakfast. So not gone at all--though likely will convert to breakfast in the Club Class Dining section as that program rolls out

They don't mention Sabatini's specifically anymore, probable because a couple have become SHARE by Curtis Stone. But it does say complimentary specialty dining mimosa breakfast daily.

BOGO $1 is still 3-4pm and 10-11pm at bar/lounge indicated on the Patter.

Thanks!! BOGO is the reason I don't buy the beverage package, you can have 4 drinks for something like $20....Take the last one or two (if you order them without ice) back to your room for later. Plus I don't like to feel I "have" to drink everyday because I bought a package.

 

Hope it is still in Sabatini's or Share...Honestly that was my favorite of the full suite perks.

Club Class is only open for breakfast on sea days. I would say that Specialty Dining Mimosa Breakfast will remain and the few of any full suite passengers will do Club Class breakfast on sea days. You can get essentially any breakfast item you want and it is cooked to order in Sabatini's or I believe the Crown Grill on ships with SHARE. Throw in specialty coffee drinks and mimosas or champagne and four dedicated waitstaff, what else could a Club Class breakfast have to offer???

Happy hour is Bogo for $1 and has become very popular. Our last cruise it was 3 to 4 in crooner, you had to get there at least 45 early for a seat and once it started it was so crowded it was difficult to get one set of drinks let alone two. After the first couple of days of our 10 day trip we gave up since it was too much of a hassle.

so ...you have to have a seat to get a drink, no bar you can just walk up to and order? :(

You can certainly get a drink at the bar during BOGO happy hour, after waiting in what is usually a long line. :D

Look at all the great people you can meet at happy hour:D. NOT!!!!!! Well not to say these people are not great people just don't want to meet them like this....LoL

Crooners had two bartenders, and maybe three waitstaff for over 250 cruisers, most who seemed to be aggravated/angered by the lack of service they were receiving. The grumbling and nasty comments we heard directed towards them was one of the main reasons we stopped attending the BOGO. We cruise to relax and appreciate all the staff and the service they provide. We would much rather purchase the drink package (which also includes water, soda and coffee) or purchase a drink by the pool then worry about rushing to a happy hour that is anything but happy.

BOGO works OK for us but we don't really go often enough since 3 in the afternoon is really not a great time for cocktails especially on port days. I've encountered crowds but never angry crowds and we almost always meet people and have enjoyable chats. The waiters work very hard during this period and I would think an extra tip is well-deserved. It's a shame some have had bad experiences but perhaps some expectations are set higher than others.

I think it is! LOL. My adult kids usually go to the late night BOGO which they say is less crowded.

On one ship they were holding the afternoon B1G1 $1 in the same location and time as afternoon trivia.

 

That made for great fun mixing those two groups in the same room.
