spearmint Posted September 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Last spring, on Eclipse, for the first time we experienced the three-coupons-for-three drinks pp in the Elite lounge. Is it being done fleetwide or only when there are many Elites and above on board? We sail Silhouette in November and am just wondering...

vulcan1971 Posted September 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Generally based on the number of Elites on any given sailing. Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus on the T-Mobile 4G LTE Network using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lagoon Posted September 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Just got off the reunion cruise to Alaska. Lots of elite and above. No tickets but assigned drinking times in the Constellation Lounge on Infinity. Early dinner seating and select dining were given the first shift from 5:00-5:45 and then the second seating guests were in at 6:00 pm for the Happy (almost) Hour. Wonderful snacks - Qsine style. Was this just for the Reunion Cruise or fleet wide? Anyone on back-to-back ( I heard there were 40 guests) can verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted September 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This sounds awful and we hope it doesn't take over fleet wide, a real downgrade from a two hour event to a 45 minute event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet987 Posted September 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Was on the Millenium and not enough Elites to reserve all the Sky Lounge, just a section roped off. Regular two full hours, lovely CC hostess and service. Convenient for my non-elite friends, they picked up their drinks with their beverage packages from the bar, we "crossed over the velvet rope" and all enjoyed our drinks and view.

That's not very much time for cocktails you have to drink and run and the hours should extend Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy hour 6-6:45 seems rather early. Hope this isn't a sign of what's coming. As it is the Elite cocktail hour is early for those with 8:30 seating.

cruising46 Posted September 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 11, 2015 We are Elite. On the last 3 cruises we have received 3 vouchers each which could be used from 5 to 7 pm in most of the bars but not all. There was also a menu on the selections which were available.

spearmint Posted September 12, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) We are Elite.

Yes, this is what we experienced on Eclipse and "most bars" included the one in the Elite Lounge area deck 12. We had this a year ago on RCCL Allure of the Seas, but when in the Diamond Lounge, no coupons were required as there was no limit on drinks. The 3 coupons only applied to other bars around the ship. A much nicer idea... Bill Edited September 12, 2015 by spearmint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted September 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2015 We've been on the Infinity twice and that ship seems to march to a different tune. On our last voyage a smallish group hosted by Park West seemed to have the run of the ship and the Elites didn't know what to expect. We'd be told that the Constellation lounge was available only to be turned away. We never knew where to go so just relied on the coupons. We did miss the relaxing social with like minded cruisers.
