kdakda Posted February 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Keep an eye (or ear) out for "extra" happy hours. I was getting something at the Lido bar at 1 PM one day and heard a bartender telling a guest it was a special Happy Hour and those prices were in effect. This was a month ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bEwAbG Posted February 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I went to happy hour several times during my cruise a few weeks ago, and the drinks were just as strong as any other time I ordered them outside of happy hour. A couple were even too strong. HAL still makes money regardless of the happy hour pricing, so I'm not sure why you would think they water down their drinks.

I believe you meant to say that either: There wasn't enough ice -or- They should have used a larger glass and more mixer "Too strong"???

bEwAbG Posted February 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) There was one that tasted like cough medicine because the pour was a little heavy for the container size and mix ☠️☠️☠️ Most were spot-on, but they were not "watered down" by any stretch Edited February 25, 2019 by bEwAbG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanieCM Posted February 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We were on Zuiderdam in late January/early February. Happy Hour was daily at 4pm in the Sea View and Ocean bars. (second drink for $2) We had no problems with the drinks at all. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underthemoonlight Posted February 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We will be boarding the Zuiderdam on Wednesday Out of friendship and appreciation of y’all I will do a detailed investigation of the strength of happy hour mixed drinks. I decided not to wear my lab coat but to go incognito. In the past never found any dilution in happy hour drinks, but apparently inquiring minds want to know. In addition when ordering wine or champagne they have been generous pours. Since HAL is not a local bar trying to meet their rent, they don’t have to resort to making penny pinching cutbacks. Though would love to see the TV series Bar Rescue do an episode on a cruise ship. I will have 11 chances to do my research and evaluation. Glad I can help you out. I apologize in advance for misspellings, grammatical errors and illogical babble. That is if I can work my iPad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
