Elite Happy Hour (5 to 7)

[Empehi]

Is the Elite and above Happy Hour still taking place in a certain venue on the ship or can Elite members also get drinks at any bar during the

the Happy Hour 5 to 7 period?

At most bars from 5-7, Captains Club benefit sheet will be in  your cabin will state which bars are not included.  There is a venue designated for HH 2 or 3 times per sailing should you want to connect with others.  (Drinks available at other bars also on those nights) That info will also be in your cabin.

I wonder if you could get a dark and stormy during Elite hour ?🤔

Or would it be better to ask for some Bacardi dark rum and ginger beer  😉😁

 I don’t think you can get Bacardi dark without a drink package.  The Bacardi they pour is the standard white rum.

Our up coming TA cruise will be the first one since 2017 that we wouldn’t have the drink package 

And back than they did have dark rum on the elite HH 

it is hard to pay more for the drink package than what the cruise cost , and $1600 can buy a lot of drinks 🥃🍷🍸🍻😉😁

 I couldn't agree more.  Makes one miss the good old days of Good, Better, Best when you could get the included Basic drink package and then upgrade for $10 a day.. which would be more than covered by the OBC.  

 

The reason I always have the Premium is my wife wants to eat in Luminae which means booking the Retreat which includes the mandatory drink and WiFi packages, unless you are Zenith, which we are not.

I agree that it’s very doubtful that they would pour you the correct rum to make a dark and stormy during the happy hour

Cold appetizers only at hh in sky lounge. No munchies at other bars.

I have found that most bars have "bar snacks" if you ask for them. That's the salty trail mix.

On the cruises prior to covid they served some nice canapes with shrimp and salmon at the sky lounge during HH. The captain club host was Chris and he made sure they kept coming around with full platters

Do they serve drinks to Elite members on embarkation day

Yes, they have a good trail mix at the Eden bar on the E class ships.  Also snacks sometimes at the Martini bar but we found it’s much easier to get the trail mix at the Eden bar.

As mentioned earlier, this was changed recently to include embarkation day in the Elite Happy Hour/

This is a fairly new change.

[dazey]

And a very good change!

 

We were onboard in May and noticed on the list of benefits that there was no mention of first day exclusion for HH so I called immediately to confirm. Of course, we enjoyed this perk that very day.
