Rare boards Posted May 31, 2019 #80 Share Posted May 31, 2019 When did they start having the number of times when you buy one drink and get the second one $2? I have counted upwards to 6 and 7 times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have counted upwards to 6 and 7 times a day. This is the first cruise we have been on that had so many. On Eurodam once, they had multiple happy hours in the Ocean Bar, Crow's Nest and Silk Den, but we've never seen them in the Lido Bar before.

Rare boards Posted May 31, 2019 #83 Share Posted May 31, 2019 One of the reasons I turned to Hal was I did not enjoy the Carnival atmosphere. I hope that is not going happen. Sad to say we are booked on the Noordam this fall on the same cruise, but starting in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally were in the Ocean Bar for early happy hour, which was busy by HAL levels, but we never really saw a rowdy bunch anywhere at the bars, or around the Lido pool deck. It just seemed to us to give more choice as to location and time for happy hour; those who wanted early or late, or lunchtime, could do so.

RetiredMustang Posted May 31, 2019 Author #92 Share Posted May 31, 2019 May 12 Here is the cruise log for the Sydney-Vancouver crossing; And that finishes the cruise. I will end with a photo I took of a clock on the promenade deck -- it seems to sum up life on a cruise ship, especially on at-sea days; it really doesn't matter what time it is. And, it's five o'clock somewhere. Thanks for reading and commenting, Dave 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted June 1, 2019 #94 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Clever clock. DH's cardiologist has those clocks in each of the patient rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia ora! Thanks. The clock is on the bulkhead on the starboard side aft, just forward of the MDR where the wrap-around deck bends around some equipment and just before the doors to the aft elevators. But, it will probably get fixed in the drydock. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMDE Posted June 12, 2019 #98 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks for the great review and information. On previous cruises I’ve always enjoyed a drink before dinner in the Atrium, outside the Ocean Bar (I think that was the name), and there was usually a pianist or a jazz trio. I don’t see that in the schedule. We’re doing that cruise in 2020. Is there predinner entertainment there usually or is it somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a piano in the Ocean Bar, but I don't remember anyone playing it before dinner, but we had early seating and there may have been someone after we left the bar. I haven't seen a jazz trio in several cruises -- HAL has cut back on live music in the bars over the last few years, but has expanded offerings in the Lincoln Center and B.B. King venues.
