RTLS Posted September 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I understand that Happy Hour is from 5pm to 6pm. Is anyone able to tell me whether this would happen on embarkation day? We won't leave Civitavecchia until 8pm but a small group of people who have arranged tours together on the roll call would like to meet for a drink before dinner. And it would be very nice if that coincided with the opportunity to have 2 for 1 drinks. I know there will probably be the muster drill to deal with also but that's another issue.

Lola911 Posted September 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would not count on a HAPPY HOUR the first evening. I just looked back on my CURRENTS (on board newsletter) and HAPPY HOUR was not mentioned until the 2nd night. Our last two musters were around 5 PM. day of sailing. Wines/beers are not that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Do not think I have seen HAPPY HOUR on embarkation day Muster is usually sometime between 5-6pm Just meet in one of the bars ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONT-CA Posted September 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Althought the Regatta sailed from Lisbon at 8:00 pm they did offer "Happy Hour from 5:00 - 6:00 pm... I am happy to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boerneDQ Posted September 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2012 On the Riviera embarking in Lisbon in June, the ship had a Sail Away party at about 5 pm with 2 for 1 drinks. The muster drill was at 4 pm if I remember correctly. It was great to stand on deck with drinks as we sailed under the great bridge out to sea!

ONT-CA Posted September 22, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2012 What time was Muster drill then?? Muster was shortly after 5:00pm and we proceeded to the CC get together in Horizons. So it may have gone 6:00 by the time I ordered my drink. But I was asked if I wanted the two cocktails or a double pour for "Happy Hour". Perhaps it was extended because of the drill. We note that the application of the Happy Hour is somewhat liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

findacruise Posted September 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2012 ThanksInteresting...I do not think I had ever seen them do HH after the drill Will check on our next cruise ;) Neither have we. Whenever we have had a drink on the first evening before 6 it has always been full price. Hope what OP experienced is permanent change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted September 22, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yes, because after spending ten thousand dollars on a cruise and flying halfway around the World to meet the ship, it is those full priced cocktails which might push us over the brink into the abyss of economic ruin. :p Why do you think that they call it Demon Rum?

Lola911 Posted September 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Never know whether it is Jim or Stan answering, but you are hilarious. Exactly why I said the beers/wine are not that expensive i.e. that you might call a halt to having a gathering b/c there was no Happy Hour.

RTLS Posted September 22, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thankyou all for the replies. We had no plans whatsoever to cancel the get together if there is no "Happy Hour". Simply we were considering changing our original invitation from "6pm or 15 minutes after the muster drill if there is a conflict" to 5.45pm or etc. etc" We just thought that others might appreciate enjoying a "Happy Hour" if it works out.

Didn't say it stopped us from having an adult beverage - just said it would be nice. Not all of us spend $10,000 and fly half way round the world for every cruise or have our own stocked bar. Yes, you guys are hilarious and I enjoy your posts very much and they are infromative. But sometimes feel responses are a put down of others. That's why I often hesitate to post. Guess I'm just too thin skinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes JimandStan, we know you are the acknowledged experts, but sometimes you do come across as a bit over-the-top.) (Although JandS, I do agree with you about the drinks issue--that's why I'll be buying the prestige drinks package when I finally sail O next year.)
