Grego Posted July 29, 2017 #126 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Interesting. We were on her in Feb '16 and it was $1. Correct. It was still in effect in March. The elimination just happened. Redwing55 - that's Larry Murphy's sweater number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted July 29, 2017 #127 Share Posted July 29, 2017 have to disagree with you. I booked our Royal Princess cruise before the SipnSail came out. When it came out, I checked and cruise price did not go up even one cent. Called and got the SipnSale pkg added to the cruise. Lots of people said the cruise did not go up in price when the SipnSail came out, some said it did. But if for sure is not a standard "across the board" increase in price just b/c the SipnSail promo came out. For us a win/win, no increase in cruise fare and now have the SipnSail pkg for both of us. I've heard a lot of people say the same thing and every time I check on my normal TA web site they advertise those cruises with & without the package. Of course the trip without the package is always cheaper. I'll have to do another check the next time they offer that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did the price not go up it went down $50 a person from the first time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boca7 Posted August 1, 2017 #134 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I can confirm, just off the Royal. Two happy hours a day, BOGO $1, and platinum/ Elite lounge was $650 for about 6 different drinks. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Thrilled to hear the afternoon Bogo is back, I`m booked on the Caribbean & Regal ships & hoping they at least kept that. The menu on the new elite lounge sounds terrible, so we`ll have a drink from our bar before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted August 1, 2017 #135 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just off the Crown and what was to be our first cruise as platinum and first time enjoying the platinum/elite lounge. Did not like the drink specials they offered so we went to plan B. Went to a bar where they were offering buy one get one for a buck bought our drinks and brought them to the platinum lounge. Had it on skywalkers and love the view and not at all crowded. For that matter they never even asked to see our cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It's in Skywalker's nightclub. They can make a drink for you that's not on the special menu. It will just be at regular pricing.

Whimsy Posted August 3, 2017 #145 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I would try the Mayan Mule. Ingredients: 2 parts Milagro Reposado Tequila 0.5 parts Lime Juice 2 dashes Angostura Bitters 3 parts Ginger Beer Mint Sprigs and Lime Wheel, for garnish I wonder how they are going to make it though, because the ships only have ginger ale and not ginger beer. It probably won't taste right, just like the Moscow Mules that they make with ginger ale don't have the same taste as the ones made with ginger beer. When I was on the Regal last year they did have ginger beer but you had to ask some of the bartenders to take a second look. It's easier for them to use ginger ale from the gun but they have the real deal. I watched them make it when I was on a Moscow Mule kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted August 3, 2017 #149 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We enjoy it in Skywalkers. Great venue. Skywalkers is a great location. Unfortunately, there were so many Platinum/Elites on our Caribbean Princess in January (2017) it was in Club Fusion rather than Skywalkers. Without the view and relaxing atmosphere it wasn't worth going .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dforeigner Posted August 3, 2017 #150 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Gotta admit, that is maybe one of the locations I wish that the Royal has.. can't have it all I guess.:( Yep, I was saddened to learn that the new class of ships no longer have Skywalkers like the Grand class ships. Now they have Club 6 but in the middle of the ship. Now they have the Outrigger bar out in the open. Which we enjoy but not as quiet or protected from the elements.
