I'm not a barroom person, but ship lounges are open, informal, and there is no pressure to purchase drinks. As soon as I placed my water bottle in front of me, I wasn't bothered at all. They were simply live entertainment venues where alcohol was available. One of my favorites to stop at for a set or two on the way back from the evening theater show was the Billboard Onboard lounge, which focused on Billboard hits of all decades. Featuring dueling pianist/singers Nathan and Griffin, they were talented, friendly, and engaging. All-Request sets were especially fun.
