springaussie Posted May 18, 2011 #31 Share Posted May 18, 2011 What type of drinks do Diamond members recieve for free at the Nightly Event on Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted May 18, 2011 #32 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Oh....... say it aint so! The Jewel is taking over her slot for a while. She'll be doing the 4 & 5 nighters out of Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising grandma Posted May 18, 2011 #33 Share Posted May 18, 2011 What type of drinks do Diamond members recieve for free at the Nightly Event on Celebrity? anything you order from the bar servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted May 18, 2011 #34 Share Posted May 18, 2011 anything you order from the bar servers. I think it depends on what you would order from the bar servers. For example, no frozen drinks. If you drink, vodka, and the regular bar "whiskey types" such as scotch, rye etc, you can get those mixed with water, soda, coke etc. as well as wine and beer. It's a great time and we totally enjoy it and are glad that Royal Caribbean has this even though------enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted May 19, 2011 #35 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The Jewel is taking over her slot for a while. She'll be doing the 4 & 5 nighters out of Tampa. And Jewel will be sailing from Tampa in the winters of 2011 and 2012/13 which is as far at the deployment schedules currently go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSEAU Posted May 19, 2011 #38 Share Posted May 19, 2011 On Oasis Class you will have a designated Diamond Lounge that will have the nightly event from 5-8:30 with complimentary cocktails along with wine, champagne, soft drinks and beer. You will have access to the lounge 24/7 for specialty coffee along with continental breakfast every morning. You get the same perks as you would if you had access to the Concierge Lounge. BTW, Radiance is having a Diamond Lounge installed when she goes into dry dock on Friday. We are became Diamond last December and have only cruised on Navigator and Radiance, so had the Nightly Diamond Event. Will be on Oasis in Sept. so in Diamond Lounge is it free drinks or just wine and champagne? There is some limitations on Alcohol drinks.There were a lot of options available and don't know what all you couldn't get. In my case they would not serve me a Jim Beam and coke. There were other mixed drinks available but Jim Beam was not on the nightly list for my cruise. No problem just ordered a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the ship. It has been our experience that alcoholic brands will vary from ship to ship and from Concierge to Concierge. It definitely is not top shelf.

adamken Posted May 19, 2011 Author #41 Share Posted May 19, 2011 You're saying that you left your friends behind so you could board early??? I'm a Diamond member too but I would NEVER abandon my traveling companions to take advantage of a perk! Sorry but this shows lack of courtesy to my so called friends. We didn't abandon our friends, In my case we all arrived from different shuttles and times, so, yes we boarded without them....So maybe get your facts straight before blasting someone.

wolfganghowell Posted May 19, 2011 #42 Share Posted May 19, 2011 We have sailed with friends who are not diamond. We always tell them we will meet them onboard. Calling someone inconsiderate because they are using a perk they have earned is unfair. On the flip side, we have cruised with friends who are D+ or in a GS - we would never expect them to forgo the concierge class simply because we did not earn the perk. True friends would be happy and encouraging to use any benefits offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted May 19, 2011 #43 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Interesting how so many will use their perk to priority board and leave friends behind yet I do not think I have read a post where the priority boarder forgoes the priority process and stays with friends.

Hey friend dont let them get to ya............. My partner and I travel with friends often....always a tough choice.....free drinks in the D-lounge and C-lounge or sit with my loser friends(and pay for drinks) who are not diamond yet....free drink wins every time!!!!!!!!!LOL Edited May 19, 2011 by storm1of4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galavant3 Posted May 19, 2011 #47 Share Posted May 19, 2011 As a matter of fact, we've boarded with friends in Galveston many times. If we arrive together as a group, we stay together. Our friends were not allowed to join us for priority check in at Galveston...about 2 years ago. So, it might depend on the agent - they were checking set sail passes where the two lines separated. We joined them in the non-priority line and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's because our friends would never think to be so selfish as to encourage us to wait in a longer line. Nor would I EVER want someone with benefits above mine to give theirs up for MY convenience. I mean really now - it's not like you are leaving them behind in a crime ridden alley. You are simply boarding a ship. Everyone will have plenty of time to be together onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
