As a suite guest in a GS on ships that have a Coastal Kitchen/SL combo they indeed man the bar for drinks 11-11. Beer (but they have downgraded that choice now to cheap domestic), wine (also downgraded) and sodas are complimentary to you during that time. The full cocktails are also complimentary, but only from 5-8 during the scheduled happy hour (some times vary on different ships). I have used my vouchers by choice when I wanted a higher grade wine or beer not during happy hour. But like many of us...do be sure (keep track of it) that they don't charge your vouchers during those complimentary times. It has happened to us, many times. Sometimes the concierge will insist on changing out your D+ card to a different color suite's card to alert the bartender to use your suite's perk, not your vouchers. Or simply make sure you let them know not to charge your vouchers during that time.

LOL...you have that right! 😄

Actually kind of cool to do so...feels like we are really going at that point. Part of the fun of preparing. 😉

Agree....booking a B2B is no different than booking a single cruise, of which I do myself. Have done B2B and more several times. Like others, I just be sure to pair up the same cabins, as to avoid a move. I love being already unpacked on TAD. 🙂

Totally agree. Two tags per bag. Learned the hard way years ago! 😮 IMHO...I love my reusable plastic sleeve tags I buy from Amazon, and like you...use those indestructible zip ties. 🙂 I also just reload them with my disembarkation tags when it is time to leave.

Some of us like the convenience of already being prepared. One less thing to do at bag check in, which can be crazy at times. I am not a fan of the "porter scribble" either. But to each their own.

Are you still getting in with the same password? I am afraid to check! 😨

They don't do it on Viking either. And in fact I booked two separate cruises, one day apart, different ships (and had to pay for my overnight hotel in Sydney)....but Viking decided to add the two together as a Grand Tour. Must be good for them...but did not do me any favors. 😮

IT at RCI.... having fun with us. Can you hear them giggling in the background? 😄

I simply changed my password. Took 30 seconds...and still good to go. But now I may have just jinks myself! 😮

You are most welcome! Enjoy your cruise!! 🙂

Won't miss Tap Factory either. Interesting show...once...but way too loud. I am seeing more and more of the "guest" and RCL entertainers taking over where there used to be Broadway type shows...IMHO...for the obvious reason...... it is cheaper. And RCI does like cost cutting. 😄 However, I do love the ice show on Wonder. 🙂

No, only in Coastal Kitchen, and the lounge/bar area. If indeed you are dining in Coastal kitchen at a table...lunch, dinner...or even breakfast....it is complimentary and can be served at your table. Just ask your waiter, sit back and enjoy! 🙂

Enough OK? I told you I over reacted...which is a result of being ingrained from indeed so much Pinnacle bashing. It's a fact indeed that goes on. That poster already realized they assumed (and obviously I get that a lot ) that I was not in a suite because of the mention of vouchers being used. They obviously did not read the whole thread as we were talking about being in a GS (as the title of this thread is)...but still being charged on our C&A vouchers, including the Diamond I was discussing this with. Many of us have been wrongly charged on our vouchers while in suite. Do you get it now?

LOL....no one would like us right now. Trying to finally get the remodel done on the newly added laundry room. And as always all remodel jobs go very smoothly......grrrrr....NOT! OK...I need an SB right now!! 😄 Or better yet...hop over and join Rewind on the Vision! 😉 😄
