Palmist Posted February 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Does anyone know if they have this event for Elite and Platinum on the Grand? It was great on the Emerald and I was hoping they were doing it there too. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be doing a LIVE, but give me until evening or even the next morning to get underway. Sometimes internet access doesn't start immediately.

compozer Posted February 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Pia, YES, like Windsor said, I also hope you have a wonderful cruise. Palmist, hope you also have a great cruise. We have never made it to any of the Happy Hours. Seems like we are always busy and completely forget about them. We just like to chill out on the balcony with a glass of wine after showering and then before we know it, we are hungry and off we go to dinner.

tennisobo Posted February 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just off the Grand. The Platinum/Elite/Suite Happy Hour is held in the One5. We went the first evening and really enjoyed meeting people there. It is very nicely done on the Grand. The first night there was someone there making fresh guacamole.

Pia1913 Posted February 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks for the good wishes everyone. We very rarely make it up to the happy hour too, since we're just wine drinkers, and that we can do in the privacy of our cabin or anywhere else. I like those cheese sticks they serve and it's better for me I just stay away. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 4, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Does anyone know if they have this event for Elite and Platinum on the Grand? It was great on the Emerald and I was hoping they were doing it there too.Myrna Yes, they do! Just off Grand for two week last month. They'll send you a card the day you board with what is being served each evening and the special drinks offered at a reduced price. We've never been since we don't want the special drinks offered at a reduced price and had rather go to another bar that we know we enjoy. Always say we're going to give it a try once ... but never do. :rolleyes: When you return, please let us know how you liked it and if it was worth you time to go.

lehb Posted February 4, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Does anyone know if I can bring my roommate who is only a gold member to these events? Brought our gold member son with us on our recent Emerald cruise. My husband and I bought the special drinks with our Platinum cards. It's not crowded (at least usually wasn't on that ship), so another person doesn't matter. By the way, on the Emerald, the Happy Hour drink specials were also during that time, so we sometimes ordered those instead of the Platinum specials. Love the soft pretzels (and usually don't see those in the regular buffet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted February 4, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Does anyone know if I can bring my roommate who is only a gold member to these events? Yes, my partner is Elite, I'm Platinum and we were allowed to bring my son and his friend who are gold... No problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoalwater Posted February 4, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Does anyone know if they have this event for Elite and Platinum on the Grand? It was great on the Emerald and I was hoping they were doing it there too.Myrna IMHO the drinks are disappointing, pitifully small and overfilled with ice. It used to be a good perk when it came out (first for us was on the Ruby TA in may, 2010), but I have soured on it after a few later cruises. Also, I may be in a minority, but I don't think One-Five on the Grand is a good venue for this. On our Nov. 2011 TA it filled quickly (there were a lot of elite PAX) and seating was in my opinion lacking as compared to the old Skywalkers.

Not sure what you are talking about, regarding the Platinum/Elite lounge deals. Many of the drinks you can get either on the rocks or straight and they seem to come in the regular sized glasses. The regular happy hour special drinks may be more iced down and smaller, but I didn't see that for the Platinum drinks. Besides they are about half their normal price. It's a very good deal for most of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmist Posted February 4, 2012 Author #16 Share Posted February 4, 2012 After our Feb. 25 cruise I will let you all know how the Happy Hour specials were and if it was worth our time to attend more than once. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lehb Posted February 5, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Anyone know where this is held on the Coral?? On the Island, it was held in a corner of the Explorer's Lounge. Since the Coral is nearly identical, I would suspect it would be there, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted February 5, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 5, 2012 After our Feb. 25 cruise I will let you all know how the Happy Hour specials were and if it was worth our time to attend more than once.Myrna Well, after partaking of the Platinum/Elite lounge happy hour on my last three cruises last year on three different ships, I certainly believe that it was worth our time to attend. I enjoyed the drink specials and the special appetizers were good too. I especially liked the steak tartare, the Stilton cheese with port wine reduction (done much better on the Caribbean Princess than the last time on the Sapphire, but still good) and the sushi. It was nice enjoying our leisurely pre-dinner drinks and appetizers in Skywalkers and something we looked forward to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
