Rare Cruise Raider Posted September 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Which bars on the Grand are your favorite and why? We will be boarding in a few weeks and would appreciate some feedback. We like the Wheelhouse bar ...mainly because they have happy hour from 3-4 every afternoon where you can buy one drink and get a second one of the same for $1. The martini bar is also great ... it is by a set of windows and oftentimes has great music in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IECalCruiser Posted September 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The Wheelhouse is my favorite to have a drink and listen to music in the evening. Outdoors I like Al Fresco's Bar in the Horizon Terrace on Lido deck. The wake view can be so relaxing. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsawyer Posted September 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The Wheelhouse is my top favorite It has the classic old school look that makes it the best space on the ship in my opinion. Plus on the Grand it hasn't been violated by the Salty Pig or Rat or whatever its called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Crooner's is our favorite! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2016 What is your favorite this week, might not be next week! The overall ambiance on the ship is really dependent on the passenger mix.....You just have to find YOUR perfect spot on YOUR cruise! If you do a B2B, I guarantee your preferences will be different on the 2nd leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Even when taking B2B or B2B2B, Crooner's is our reliable favorite. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvochristi@comcast.net Posted October 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2016 When we sailed on Star Princess, Grands sister ship, I found the Strawberry Black Pepper margarita available only at the terrace bar. It wasn't available at all on my recent Coral Princess cruise. Anyone know it it's available on Grand Princess terrace bar? I will be sailing from SFO to Hawaii, RT in March 2017. Also, Coral Princess had two BOGO events daily, one at 3pm and the other at 9pm. Is this same with Grand? We liked that Corals BOGO events were held in larger lounges, unlike our first experience on Star, and that they also had something else going on at the time in the same location. There was either live music or trivia in the same room, which was nice. Thanks, Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted October 19, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Thanks - I guess some of the newer ships have specific Martini Bars - right ? Regal next June - will check it out. Crooner's is the "martini bar" on all of them as far as I know - except for Pacific Princess. Edited October 19, 2016 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingpeople Posted October 19, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Crooner's is the "martini bar" on all of them as far as I know - except for Pacific Princess. On the Golden Princess, it is called the Promenade Bar. Although, the drink menu is still named "Tee Many Martoonies":). Most seasoned Princess cruisers will still refer to it as Crooners.

Sacto Rick Posted October 19, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 19, 2016 We seem to find ourselves at Crooners. It's central to the ship, has plenty of windows for viewing, there's live music and usually something going on nearby in the Piaza. It's also a good spot for people watching as it seems like you have to pass by Crooners to get anywhrre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most seasoned Princess cruisers will still refer to it as Crooners. Never (yet) sailed on Golden. I'm surprised it has a different name but looking at the deck plans it seem to be in the proper place for Crooner's. :) Thanks for the corrected info.

Papa Yoda Posted October 20, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Dunno - but I kinda like the little table in Vines by the window aft of the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
