TheMaccas Posted August 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have read a review where HAL has a happy hour every night. Is this correct? has anyone taken advantage of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted August 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have read a review where HAL has a happy hour every night. Is this correct? has anyone taken advantage of this? Most HAL ships have them. The location can vary but most often they are held at the Ocean Bar or Crow's Nest. The times also vary but usually one hour or so before early seating. The drinks are 2 for 1 during happy hour. Just check your daily program for location and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinPatches Posted August 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I didn't know about it until halfway through my last cruise.. but drinks are all 2 for 1! Great Deal :) Not too sure lots of people know about it, they don't really mention it much on board or advertise it. It happens between 4 and 5. Cheers!

Happy Hour is held daily both in the Ocean Bar and the Crow's Nest from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjs9738 Posted August 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam 12-day Venice to Barcelona last week, and there were 3 happy hours on most (all?) nights. Looking at 3 of the daily programs, the happy hours were: - Ocean Bar 4-5pm - Crows Nest 8-9 or 9-10 pm - Silk Den 10-11 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It has been hot or miss on some of the ships that we have been on -- in fact -- very few had the Happy Hour. And one ship limited the 2 for 1 drinks to just the house brands on the couple of ocassions that they had the Happy Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it usually crowded? And btw, (fun fact, kpalmer, I'm from Surrey, BC too :p) Had to be VERY slow and VERY empty if they scheduled Happy Hour at 10:30 pm... probably just to bring some people in. More often than not on most other ships we have been on, the Piano Bar is quite busy at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinPatches Posted August 10, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This will be my first cruise where I am of age (21 years). I am very anxious to try out the piano bar!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzadog Posted August 10, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have read a review where HAL has a happy hour every night. Is this correct? has anyone taken advantage of this? We enjoyed happy hour in the Crow's Nest from 4 - 5 every day of our 19 day cruise round trip to Hawaii last year. We found no limitations on what brand or how much we could have. We were on the Zaandam.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted August 10, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This will be my first cruise where I am of age (21 years). I am very anxious to try out the piano bar!!:) Your first time in the Piano Bar? Did anyone tell you about the initiation process? You have to stand on the piano and do your best imitation of Cindy Lauper, then buy everyone STILL in the piano bar a drink !!! :D:D:D Seriously, Piano Bars on HAL ships are all different based on the ship and the entertainer...some good, some bad. Hope you enjoy it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy it ! Hahaha thanks :cool: Considering it will be my first time in the piano bar, I don't think I'll be too picky about the entertainment. Knowing me, I'll just soak it all in and enjoy it no matter what. What do I have to compare it to, right? And plus, I'm sure ANY piano bar entertainment is better than that crappy rap/hip hop junk they play on the radio these days.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted August 10, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Happy Hour is held daily both in the Ocean Bar and the Crow's Nest from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.:) It's mildly annoying they have it before early dinner seatings but never before late dining. We have Traditional 8 P.M. dining and think we should have the same offering but we do not. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 10, 2010 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2010 We have been on ships when there was a Happy Hour in the Casino from 11 PM to Midnight a couple nights of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Happy Hour on both ships was held in the Ocean Bar and Crow's Nest. The later (7-8PM) one was only in the Crow's Nest. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yipee - good to know SJS9738...we'll be on the NA for January...nice that 3 different hours were available for your cruise - hoping ours will be the same. I like the idea of a late night happy hour too! We did 2 for 1 in Ocean onboard Oosterdam last year... were introduced to Mojtos and returned each night for them before getting ready for dinner. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
