Over the Clouds Posted November 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I know it is a strange question as the norm is that you go in a bar and order. However this is where I am coming from: The cruise is advertised that it comes with the entertainments included (apart of few exception). Looking at the Horizons magazines most of the events and live music are in the Brodie's, Club House, Crow's Nest, 710 Club, etc. As we already paid for the entertainment can we just go in, sit down, and enjoy the music or program without being compelled to order something? We have no drink package, as it makes no sense for us who drink water anyway. I know that for the evening programs in the Limelight Club you have to have dinner there, but there are programs in that venue in the morning and afternoon as well. Are those events without an extra charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can sit there without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted November 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Definitely. The waiters will probably approach you but it won’t be a problem if you say no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thejuggler Posted November 13, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I don't know if its still the case but when we cruised the waiters would remove the drinks menu from the table whether you ordered or not so they knew your table had been 'visited'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they will just leave a drink coaster on the table so that you don't get pestered by other waiters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
