But since the masks have come off (social distancing not as much of a thing), they've reopened it to the other levels. Masks were not required outside. Not that many wore them in the Aqua theater in Nov., Dec. on Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to hear the capacity. Couldn't see or hear who won, and they had the pictures down in a far corner i couldnt see. It's not a big deal, just interesting to me. That is the only reason we go as well. We miss our Bloody Mary's they used to hand you at the morning events...so we now just stop in at the WJ bar for one and take it with us. Many have stopped us and asked where we got them as we walk in. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty stuff! 😮 When we order the Bloody Marys at the bar before the event, I get mine "tame" and Bucky likes his flaming hot with lots of olives. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free for all craziness...very scaled down "free drinks". Wasn't it also on the Explorer? Our first leg top tier event was a free for all crazy event. That's why we skipped the one on the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you weren't at the top tier event on the Explorer were were at (first leg of our March B2B cruise). The worst top tier event we've ever attended. Loud inconsiderate people and their kids along with few servers which meant sitting waiting for a drink and limited drink selections. Fake champagne was the C&A drink of choice.

No I wasn’t there, that’s why I asked. I’ve been lucky, as I haven’t experienced what you described.

That's why my sarcastic answer to your doubting question as I already commented it was a free for all event. Pat @island lady who I was responding to knows exactly what I was talking about as we discussed it on our second leg of our cruise, and her first leg of her cruise. Bummer we missed out on her and Buck's recognition for pinnacle or top cruisers based on our experience the week before. As I said this was our first experience with this type of chaos during a top tier event. Hell, the couple that were to be recognized as new pinnacles didn't even bother to show up. Felt sorry for the LA. Edited July 8, 2022 by davekathy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I offended you. I was just letting you know that things have changed quite a bit since April. If you were at the "Top Tier" event when you were on in April, you have not experienced the "Upper Tier" change back to everyone (except Gold) event that is now back to the original Platinum and above event. I think anyone that wanted to just walk in, C&A or not...did just that. Hence: "Free for All". 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything like a Platinum get together? I'm Platinum now and the only specialty thing I really get is the Captain's Reception. Sadly, I was told in April at Bayonne, they had to get rid of Priority Boarding for all Crown And Anchor members as a lot of people were using that kiosk to complain.
