You should get that schedule in your cabin on embarkation day as well as the Captains party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted August 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I am told that the Suite Elite Platinum Happy Hour used to be free drinks but for the past several years has only been discounted drinks. I very rarely attend this event -- I don't need more free food, and as a non-drinker, I don't want discounted drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be confusing with Celebrity or RCCL. Celebrity has elite happy hour, free drinks from specific list, RCCL used to have unlimited free drinks from specific list in Diamond lounge happy hour, but post pandemic switched to loaded vouchers depending on if D, D+, or Pinnacle(4, 5, 6 vouchers), on your seapass card to be used in most bars anytime per day. Free drinks are served at the CCP, Captain circle party for usually Platinum and above in loyalty program , which is a one time welcome back party, forget but only on cruises over a minimum number of days like 6 or more?

crusdiva Posted August 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Actually they were never free but were $5.00 and they “paired” them with the appetizer of the day which changed daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on our ship it is often used as a nice venue for groups of friends to meet up. The nibbles are very good quality, and at times when a piano player is playing it’s a very pleasant social spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least not for the 20+ years I've been Elite. It's always been discounted drinks, whether $1 lower than regular menu, or $5, when other drinks were $7 or $8 and, there's been a cocktail menu that's only been available at PES hour. The discount amount has changed over the years as packages have become more ubiquitous... Celebrity and RCCL (and MSC) have free cocktail hours of limited cocktail choices for their upper level guests, which again ain't much of a perk for most as their "All-In" pricing is even more common than Princess packages and beverage packages... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted August 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Princess usually has a Captain's Circle party one night with free drinks, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-drinker, I guess I haven't really noticed which line's events have which rules about complimentary drinks! Be it a Welcome Aboard Party, the "Champagne" Waterfall, or other event. I did take a sip of the sparkling wine waterfall once, and it was dreadful; just barely worth the "free" price tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
