Epic ice bar reservations

I think I remember reading somewhere a while ago that the only way to make reservations for the Ice Bar is AT the Ice Bar. Is that correct or can they be made on the app, touchscreens, or tv?

Yes, at the bar. You can sometimes walk up and get in, but during the busy evening hours, you need a reservation.

We called from our room to make our reservation

On the Getaway in December, we never saw this venue to be busy at all.

Don't bother with a reservation. Towards the end of the cruise, they're practically begging people to cough up the fee to go in

Really? Our last day is our only sea day so I figured it'd be crowded that day!

I wouldn't worry about a line. We never saw a line to get in when we were on the Epic. People never stay too long inside as well unless you like drinking in a freezer .. lol

If you have the ultimate beverage package on the Epic, do you still have to pay the $20 cover to get in?

That's gonna be an expensive drink in March, since I got a sweet balcony Sail Away rate, with no free drinks. But my first time in an Ice Bar, gotta do it!!

Well it actually covers 2 drinks...or at least it did when we were on Epic a year ago. I only stayed long enough to have half a drink...I didn't care for the concoction they were pouring...you can't order your own drink, you pick from a couple they offer. And it was really cold. I was wearing sandals and my feet froze. Guess that's why they call it an ice bar. To your question, we were a party of six and we walked up and got in with the next group. No reservation.

You sure do!!!! :rolleyes: You pretty much are just paying $20 to have drinks in a small room freezer. The Beverage package is worthless here.

Totally worth it!!!:D

come to my house in mid January and Ill put a bottle on the table on our patio and drink up. If its a true Chicago winter it will be 0 out there and a better view then in the ice bar.

:') I was going to offer plenty of drinks here in RI if they were willing to shovel out my driveway and walkways this winter, OPEN bar here, come on up!!!!! I can assure you it is an ice bar LOL :cool: but in all honesty, I have heard that it is pretty easy to get into the Ice Bar simply because it is so damn cold, few can survive in there for long.
