DougMacP Posted November 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Last year Princess was doing a couple Happy Hour promotions per day...specifically Buy One Get One (hence BOGO) are they still doing that fleet wide? Also, last year full suite passengers could have breakfast at Sabatini's, I don't see that currently listed as a perk. Gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted November 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) The BOGO Happy Hour is buy-one-get-one-for-$1 and is still twice daily fleetwide. If you refer to the Suite Overview PDF: http://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/ships/PrincessSuite_eFlyer.pdf ...the third item under food & dining is Complimentary Specialty Dining Mimosa Breakfast. So not gone at all--though likely will convert to breakfast in the Club Class Dining section as that program rolls out Edited November 11, 2016 by fishywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-mattox Posted November 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2016 They don't mention Sabatini's specifically anymore, probable because a couple have become SHARE by Curtis Stone. But it does say complimentary specialty dining mimosa breakfast daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOGO $1 is still 3-4pm and 10-11pm at bar/lounge indicated on the Patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMacP Posted November 12, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks!! BOGO is the reason I don't buy the beverage package, you can have 4 drinks for something like $20....Take the last one or two (if you order them without ice) back to your room for later. Plus I don't like to feel I "have" to drink everyday because I bought a package. Hope it is still in Sabatini's or Share...Honestly that was my favorite of the full suite perks.

IECalCruiser Posted November 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The BOGO Happy Hour is buy-one-get-one-for-$1 and is still twice daily fleetwide.

So not gone at all--though likely will convert to breakfast in the Club Class Dining section as that program rolls out Club Class is only open for breakfast on sea days. I would say that Specialty Dining Mimosa Breakfast will remain and the few of any full suite passengers will do Club Class breakfast on sea days. You can get essentially any breakfast item you want and it is cooked to order in Sabatini's or I believe the Crown Grill on ships with SHARE. Throw in specialty coffee drinks and mimosas or champagne and four dedicated waitstaff, what else could a Club Class breakfast have to offer???

2cruizinfools Posted November 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Happy hour is Bogo for $1 and has become very popular. Our last cruise it was 3 to 4 in crooner, you had to get there at least 45 early for a seat and once it started it was so crowded it was difficult to get one set of drinks let alone two. After the first couple of days of our 10 day trip we gave up since it was too much of a hassle.

bidtrips Posted November 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2016 so ...you have to have a seat to get a drink, no bar you can just walk up to and order? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvmyrotti Posted November 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2016 so ...you have to have a seat to get a drink, no bar you can just walk up to and order? :( You can certainly get a drink at the bar during BOGO happy hour, after waiting in what is usually a long line. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cruizinfools Posted November 13, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Crooners had two bartenders, and maybe three waitstaff for over 250 cruisers, most who seemed to be aggravated/angered by the lack of service they were receiving. The grumbling and nasty comments we heard directed towards them was one of the main reasons we stopped attending the BOGO. We cruise to relax and appreciate all the staff and the service they provide. We would much rather purchase the drink package (which also includes water, soda and coffee) or purchase a drink by the pool then worry about rushing to a happy hour that is anything but happy.

iceleven Posted November 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2016 BOGO works OK for us but we don't really go often enough since 3 in the afternoon is really not a great time for cocktails especially on port days. I've encountered crowds but never angry crowds and we almost always meet people and have enjoyable chats. The waiters work very hard during this period and I would think an extra tip is well-deserved. It's a shame some have had bad experiences but perhaps some expectations are set higher than others.

shredie Posted November 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 13, 2016 New look for the mimosa breakfast. Is that Bowser from Sha Na Na? :rolleyes: I think it is! LOL. My adult kids usually go to the late night BOGO which they say is less crowded. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 14, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) On one ship they were holding the afternoon B1G1 $1 in the same location and time as afternoon trivia. That made for great fun mixing those two groups in the same room. Edited November 14, 2016 by caribill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
