Puffinater Posted January 31, 2012 #76 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Frankly I won't be too sorry to see the beach towels go. With luggage limitations on all the airlines now, I don't think many cruisers want to add that much weight to their bags on the way home. I would prefer something I could actually use on the cruise...maybe a discount on a specialty restaurant, free specialty coffee, etc. The towel has been one of our selections since they started the program. Agree they do add weight but we usually account for it when packing. There is already a coupon for BOGO first night specialty resaurant and the CL has a coffe machine for expresso, frappachiono (sp) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpekiTrout Posted February 2, 2012 #87 Share Posted February 2, 2012 We're cruising this coming week .... RCI "used" to call and ask "what" gift you would like. Needless to say I haven't heard a word from them and went into our account preferences. It was then I noticed the GOOD STUFF was a goner ! No more totes .. or my fav .. beach towels. Always amazed me too with the towels that it was one per stateroom and not per passenger ... with all the cruises we've done with them I always "thought" we should each get one. Oh well ... cost cutting is here for sure ! This is NOT the end of the world by any means .. and it just adds to our list of "remember when" . BTW .. I took the bottle of Asti .. and so did my DH ... we'll see if there are TWO in the room when we board. Nothing like starting your mornings off with a mimosa or two !!

kruzerci Posted February 2, 2012 #90 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Glad we got that straightened out:D I was skimming through and saw tote bags and C&A gifts. My mind went to the beige tote bags with the ship names from years ago :D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never complain about RCL stupid moves. But this one really SUX. So glad Im a Pinnacle member!!!!!!! Those towels must have really effected the bottom line. Oh well I can get some cupcakes put on my fancy slippers and drink San Peligrino Sparkling water. Are you allowed to where the terry slippers in the Concierge Lounge?...LOL Way to go Adam. I hope you enjoy your year end bonus. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joand452 Posted February 2, 2012 #95 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Being a lowly Emerald member, I don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Our Allure cabin steward (awesome Miranda) gave each of us a pair of RCI slippers during our B2B last March. I actually used mine during an out-of-state trip last week. I can't stand cold bathroom floors and these were great to have. Take up hardly any room in the luggage. I'll definitely pack them for each trip we take now (if I can remember them!). Can't wait to get our amenity with Diet Coke next month! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen, here is the up to date Diamond Plus Amenity List(s) If you want a beach towel you can call the D+ desk and they will add it to your choices. That is the only discontinued item that is available to order by phone. Most probably until their supply runs out. I will keep having the list edited if and when more changes occur.

Unfortunate for some, it now appears that the alcoholic selections outnumber the non-alcoholic selections.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
