After cruising on Voyager last October on my honeymoon and loving every minute of it, I did find it quite strange that Radisson would not institute open bar for the entire cruise, it is a fact that the majority of people do not take advantage when something is always available to them, I have years of Food and beverage experience and know what the wholesale cost of alcohol is and knowing where cruise lines are buying theres from with no taxes you could never get a better deal. Statistics show that at weddings if you only have open bar for one hour, people will drink more than if you have open bar for the entire Reception
I just feel more people would really appreciate these beautiful lounges and would socialize more, the cost of a Martini is appx 40 cents, I think they should throw a few bucks onto the cruise fare and let the party begin.
