What a shame RC has made this decision to cancel Happy Hour. Maybe if enough complaints received they will change back? I did express my disappointment. We had planned to do some extended cruising on Majesty. But instead have booked Vision instead. At least we know what to expect on that ship. Cheers, NJ Thank You for the information. We are sailing on her next month. Edited February 18, 2020 by coppermouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent was that they be used for drinks during Happy Hour and not to get something "to go" for later or tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabin steward also even thought they take care of the room about half the time due to our request. Regular tips are never removed. Fair enough, so my question is why pay $1 a bottle since you can bring them on for around 25 cents a bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy sitting in the lounge meeting new friends. I would of booked another cruise if I knew this ahead of time. The Schooner bar works well. You'll get your 3 drinks and meet all the new friends you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonner Posted February 19, 2020 #315 Share Posted February 19, 2020 In schooner bar it is not a "regular" lounge atmosphere. It is a zoo with lots of loud (drunken?) package drinkers. A normal conversation not possible also due to extreme loud music. VCR truly has the "lounge feeling" but is almost empty in the evenings. RCI shoreside does not understand the impact on pax and crew by eliminating the happy hour lounge event. Bar waiters in VCR tell they miss the tips from C&A happy hour event. Middle management drops by and ask pax about their missing happy hour event and use information for their weekly report to shoreside-to no avail. Crew and C&A passengers are furious. We think it is a kind of test from shoreside that destroys more reputation than the information they try to get.....In general the Majesty is called by passengers the C&A minus ship..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the case on Empress. Could it be the OP is asking about the status of the nightly event? I would like to see this on all ships, but make the 3 drinks to be used any time of the day.

Are you serious ? I guess you don't understand the point. It is not about the drinks, it is about the possibility to be with Diamond and higher, cruise loving old and new friends. Having a drink or two, or three, will chatting about past and future cruises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
