sawyer_boy Posted November 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Has anyone else heard of this new group called friends of Alex? We had friends just get off the Eclipse and they were going on about this new group called "Friends of Alex" that meet up each evening at the Molecular bar at 5pm.

neverbeenhere Posted November 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nope. Many other groups are a part of Celebrity. Some with half dozen members, some with more. Great when one is in them, lame when you aren't. Sometimes lame when you are member.We have and are part of four such groups with varying amounts of success.

neverbeenhere Posted November 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2013 BTW...99.4% of the groups are drinking related. Remember college? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked on google, couple of local things and wikepedia said it doesn't exsist. Edited November 5, 2013 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly g Posted November 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Heard of "friends of Dorothy" meeting at Molecular bar around 5pm but not Alex. Maybe they got the name wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted November 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Perhaps a group of people who were all friends of a chap whose name was "Alex" were on the cruise and they wanted to meet each evening as a group. Could be as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFMOM Posted November 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Found a rather obscure band by that name on google. Perhaps they are fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma Bell Posted November 5, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Maybe the bartender's name was Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyer_boy Posted November 5, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not sure but they said there was even a daily activity sign announcing these meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratixman Posted November 5, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Alex was the famous beer fetching dog in the Stroh's beer commercials back in the '80s. Some of the most creative ads ever. So??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candhu18 Posted November 5, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The full title should be Friends of Alexandra K. It indeed had an official blessing from Celebrity with an official signpost that appeared on the noticeboard. It was setup by Alex principally due to the older nature of the cruise clients. The group was intended to attract the younger cruise members, particularly those who enjoyed a molecular cocktail. The group met between 5pm and 6pm each night. The bartender was a young lady from Hungary called Barbara. She had a natural ability for numbers and making excellent cocktails. I'm sure Alex won't mind me posting her photograph. Alex is the one on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex is the one on the right. My guess stands corected. Alex is not a chap. Unfortunately I could attend since the "meeting"conflicts with the Elite Hour. Anyone can request a posting on the message board. Ma Bell made the closest guess: Congrats:) Edited November 5, 2013 by Orator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggyB Posted November 5, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Sounds like a play on/parody of "Friends of Bill W," aka AA. Obviously, if held in the Molecular Bar, this group is probably geared towards those of an opposite inclination.

Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app On a recent Solstice cruise they had a Singles meet up advertised meeting everyday at the Molecular bar between 5pm and 6pm.

travelingmom37 Posted November 6, 2013 #19 Share Posted November 6, 2013 On my first cruise 12 years ago I was so clueless I thought "friends of Bill and Lois" was literally a private "party" for friends of cruisers named Bill and Lois. When 'friends of Dorothy" appeared the connection was obvious to me. I would like to christen a group "friends of crazy" for like minded cruisers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it on the billboard and also chatted to a single guy one night at select dining who told me that there were not many singles onboard.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
