Diamond benefits - Laundry?? Internet??

Hi - We're Celebrity Elite Plus and RCCL Diamond. I've read the Crown & Anchor list of what the diamond benefits are and it doesn't mention anything about free or discounted laundry and same for internet. It seems that the nightly drinks are the only onboard benefit. Cruising on Anthem next week and thinking about packing. Would love to know for sure. :rolleyes: Thanks

Not included in the list below is the BOGO Milkshake at Johnny Rockets. You will have access to the Diamond Lounge located next to the Music Hall and you will also have 3 complimentary drinks loaded onto your SeaPass card that can be used at most bars during the same hours that the lounge is serving. Usually 5-8:30 or 4:30 to 8. A list will be left in your cabin and is usually listed on the back of the Welcome Aboard Letter from the Diamond Concierge.

Thanks so much for such a great reply. We will pack enough for the 12 days, and we'll get 2 24 hour free internet times so that will work out fine. :):):)

Does anyone know if these are still valid? When I look online I don't see all of these anymore.

Yes they are valid. The on board benefits that are loaded on your Seapass card have never appeared on line.

Oh ok, thanks for the update.

Regarding the 20% internet discount, is it worth booking this when on-board or doing it via RCI's website well in advance?

The Diamond discount onboard is a flat $20, not 20%. If you want access every day, and you need streaming access, it's probably better to purchase pre-cruise.

We usually will use our free day of internet and then take the internet package a day or two into cruise with the discount.

We usually have two cabins with a Diamond member in each. We will,use the two free days and then get the package on day 3 utilizing the discount. It always seems to be cheaper to do it this way.

This benefit was not in the D and D+ letters our friends and we got on the Vision repositioning cruise we returned from last month. I asked about this when we were getting our tokens for the free slot spins as this was an offer I used and was told this benefit was no longer being offered. :(

To confirm what is really on the Seapass card ask a bartender to print the benefits.

That has been eliminated for D and D+.

It's been gone since at least January.

If I recall, unless I missed it from Jim & Patti list, there was a 20 or 25% discount on specialty dining only on the 1st 2 nights. D+ get bogo on the 1st 2 night

Could very well be, I just don't recall ever seeing that one.

Where is the free day of internet listed?

Is it one day free, or is it 24 hours that you can split up?

On the letter in your cabin. It’s 24 hrs or $20 off. Can’t be split up.

I wanted to clarify with someone re: the 24 hours of free Internet...

1. Does the 24 hours start when you activate it? Or, do you choose a day and it's 12am to 12am?

2. Is it 24 hours PER Diamond member? We are four in a cabin (myself, husband, and two kids) and are all Diamond, does that mean we get FOUR 24 hour periods? Or, is it just two, one per adult?

Thanks!

The 24 hours starts when you activate it. Per Diamond member, age 18 and over.

It starts when you activate it. Sorry, not sure if the kids get it or not.

Thanks, Bob! Still better than I thought...I was thinking one 24-hour period per cabin.

Kids (under 18) don’t get these perks.

Diamond members under 18 get a different set of perks and the internet is not included. My Grandson was Diamond at about 15, but I don't remember much about his perks. They weren't very good. They included some discount in the arcade. I think that's the only one he used. He wanted the internet.

We recently went on a 5-night cruise with three of our kids. I tried getting the free 24hr internet access using their info and it worked up to the point of actually checking out. It couldn't charge the $0 to the account (possibly because I had their onboard accounts set to not allow charging).

They also had free drinks on their cards from 4:30-8PM (only used for sodas).

^ kids under 18 don't have the same benefits as adults (including the free VOOM).
