Ramsey Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (Last year the trip served a buffet with a glass of wine). I always believed the Isle of Man had quite liberal laws regarding drinking and opening hours and always wondered why the boats announce they can't serve alcohol until they are out of Manx Waters. Can anyone explain this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Would recommend the trip. Great for taking elderly parents, aunts and uncles and foreign colleagues etc. - they'll love it. Do they let you throw annoying relatives overboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxmaid Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I used to work on the MAnx Viking years back, and we weren't supposed to operate the gaming tables or open the bars until we were 3 miles out to sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 From what I understand Steam Packet refuse to nominate a responsible person for the license because of some spat ages ago with the government when they spat their collective dummies out of the pram. looking at the prices on the boat I am quite glad they did, gives me a chance to find the dustbins before we dock.

Gladys Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 When was that Skrappey, because as long as I can remember the bar never opened until the boat was well under way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I went on one years ago and was bored shitless for most of it. Admittedly I was about 12 at the time. Now however, with the benefit of alcohol I wouldn't mind doing it again. On a nice calm night I imagine it would be quite a pleasant experience Thay can't serve alcohol in Manx waters, can they? Nah - there's still too high an e coli concentration in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Perhaps they have to serve beer in plastic tumbers in Manx waters.........a pet hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
