Captain’s Club Cocktail Hour

[lhsail]

We are sailing on the Solstice in October on a casino deal so no drink package. I have two questions. Is the Captain’s Cocktail hour available in all bars?  Can you upgrade to premium drinks during the cocktail hour?  Appreciate it.

As for your first question, here is the link to the Captains Club brochure with a screenshot of the relevant language:

Not sure what you mean by can you upgrade to Premium drinks during the cocktail hour.  If you have the Classic package you can upgrade for the remaining days of the cruise, not just a 2 hr period.
If you have no package it is the Captains Club menu drinks at no charge or pay full price for a drink not on the CC drink menu.

No upgrading to the free Captain Club drinks.  It is what it is.

For many years we have always had a beverage package so we weren’t concerned about the HH but on our last few cruises they were serving complimentary drinks in the casino.  Can’t say it was all day long but when we there playing we received them.    

We could get them at the bar and they didn’t ask for our card and the same when the servers came around.   They said that they were complimentary.    

 

I have also seen promos in the casino having complimentary Woodford drinks.

My SIL went on a casino compted  cruise and said she got free drinks in the casino 

 

I think it all depends on what the casino decides to offer.

There were free drinks for players in the casino on Equinox last cruise in July and first cruise in August. I noticed servers coming around rather often. Don't know about going to the casino bar.

Interesting. We were on the Equinox earlier in July, but had the drink package so DH wouldn’t have known if they were giving free drinks just for gambling.

On the Beyond in May they also offered free drinks in casino

While we never had a problem with getting drinks in the casino as we weren’t concerned because as mentioned  we had the premium drink pack if I didn’t have a pack I would be tipping the server.

 

My SIL said she gave the BT $20 at the start of the cruise and then tipped every drink.  She likes  Limon and Coke.   He always kept a bottle for her.   At the end of the cruise the BT told her she went thru 3 bottles and he knew because she was the only one drinking it.  She told us that she took it as if he was soliciting for more money.  
 

I told her that she wasn’t smart doing that as the BTs change and he may not have been the regular BT
