wild hogs Posted March 28, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Is that the same for all of the ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGuy75219 Posted March 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Is that the same for all of the ships? No, it varies by ship and itinerary (and possibly sailing to sailing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted March 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Depending on how many Platinums and Diamonds onboard, there could be several parties. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted March 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The last three cruises I have been on, the past guest party was the last night at 5pm. Those ships were the Pride, Paradise and Conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHS123 Posted March 29, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Be aware that with gold members no longer attending the party skews much older and has been renamed the Passed Guest Wake :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Be aware that with gold members no longer attending the party skews much older and has been renamed the Passed Guest Wake :) On the Glory's Journey cruises there were over 600 plats and diamonds filling up the main floor of the theater. Many were also B2B for the 21 days. I don't recall it was similar to a wake. Perhaps when you just have a small # of pax attending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine002 Posted March 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I just went to Platinum /diamond party last Saturday on the Pride. It couldn't of been more different than the one I did last June and last August on the Splendor. The one on the Pride was just like the old past guest party when is was for anyone who sailed previously. (with 100's of people) It was held in the theater and there were app and drinks with a band on the stage. Last summer its seemed like there might of been 50 people that showed held in a small lounge. There were contests such as guess the baby pic of the crew member whose pic it is and a few other such things. There was a tub of beer and other drinks that could be ordered. Amazing how much the party has changed in a few months, unless the party is done to the number of platinum's and diamonds on board. I also don't remember which day it was held on the Splendor but don't think it was done the last day. Edited March 29, 2016 by sunshine002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising maniac Posted March 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think the size of the room is determined by the number of guests. On the Breeze in November, there were probably 300 of us and it was held in a large lounge. I can't remember which one but it was crowded. It was anything but a wake. It was loud and fun with Matt Meacham as the CD. There were games and the liquor was flowing. MY DH thought it would be a good idea to have as many as he could in the hour and 1/2. Start packing before you go just in case you do the same. :eek: Go early because we went on time and it was full and hopping. There were plenty of servers so no problem getting appetizers or drinks like in the past when it had way too many people. They did check our invitations when we entered.

The4Cruisers Posted March 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I do enjoy that tub of ice cold beer at the front of the room! Plus you get exercise walking from the table to the tub to get it each time! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted March 29, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2016 seems like an odd time for the party. Wasn't the fun farewell party at that time and cancelled due to low attendance? Bill Sure was! I wondered if maybe this party is next on the chopping block. Or, maybe they are just trying to keep attendance down. The parties I have been to lately, just like those Fun Farewell parties I used to attend, were packed. Anytime you have free drinks, you will draw people. Ever try yelling "FREE BEER" in the middle of a crowd? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Rider Posted March 29, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I am going on the freedom and it will be my 1st platinum cruise. When is the past guest party if anybody remembers? Really not much to it. Watered down drinks and an old film. Was more funwhen the Golds went too. They are party people!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irisb Posted March 29, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 29, 2016 On the Magic it was held on the last sea day in the comedy club with red and white checked tablecloths (picnic). The premade drinks were strong and you could order other drinks. There was an abundance of food and it was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way they have done this has increased average age of attendees quite a bit so it is a very subdued affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted March 30, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's a big improvement over the old Past Guest parties. The crowd is small and manageable, the drinks are more plentiful, and the food is better. On Glory they let us bring our non-platinum kids.

lnm6170 Posted March 30, 2016 #23 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Last year on the pride the platinum and diamond party was alot of fun maybe 100 people. Not water down drinks we had full size MARGARITAS...It was not a wake at all. It was a lot better than in the past when there are to many people to even get one drink. I plan on getting some exercise too walking to the tub :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted March 30, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ask at the purser's desk.ymmv. And, then at the door when they turn her away? Just bring her a drink when you leave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
