CMM Posted July 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I was reading that a loyalty benefit is a complimentary beverage at breakfast or lunch. How does that work? Do you just show your ss card? What breakfast beverage would that be anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterloomarc Posted July 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2012 No they leave you coupons in your cabin and you turn those in to the bar server. They do collect them. As for breakfast I guess a mimosa or bloody mary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted July 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Right now, it's only on two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipq Posted July 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You get a free beverage at the punchliners brunch on the ships have them and a free beverage in MDR at breakfast or lunch on the ships without punchliners. Don't remember how it works though, forgot about it on my June cruise. http://luv2cruise.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkneern Posted July 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2012 The coupon is left in your cabin. You can only use it for breakfast or lunch in the MDR. They checked our SS card against the name on the coupon. We did enjoy a great bloody Mary but would have been better if you could use it at anytime at any bar. I guess they are hoping not many will use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffyKismet Posted July 29, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2012 awesome! We sail on the Paradise in Sept. and I am platnuim so I look forward to a bloody Mary at one of my breakfasts! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hn7609 Posted July 29, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I turned my coupon in during breakfast for a very nice extra spicy double mary. My wonderful DW got me one the next day with her coupon. It was the nicest thing that Carnival ever gave me for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinJenF Posted July 29, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You could also use the coupon in the morning for one of those specialty coffee's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelle1836 Posted July 30, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It is on the Pride. they leave the coupons in your cabin. we ended up using ours on the last day. Im sure there are people who forget about them. I got an LI ice tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan_Cruiser Posted July 30, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Don't wait until the last full day of your cruise to use it. On the elation earlier this month I talked to the bar waitress and she said it was about to kill them. Everyone waited until that last day to use them. So she was taking a huge number of orders and it took forever to get our drinks. Carnival needs to rethink the restrictions on this perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMM Posted July 30, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for the information. I was thinking since it was a breakfast, brunch, lunch thing maybe it was just a glass of juice or something and that struck me as an odd perk. Actually an alcohol drink at brunch doesn't sound too appealing either. I didn't even know about the punchliner on the Pride in the first place. Maybe I will have to give it a try.

Waterloomarc Posted July 30, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think Carnival has thought it out very well and has a pretty good idea of how many people will forget to use them. I probably would've not bothered with ours had we not totally forgotten about the past guest party! (or whatever it's called now) I was really wanting to go to it this time too to see how many less people were there. Oh well. If somebody wants to give me a free drink I think it's more than fair that they can tell me when and where I can get it. Plus I always eat brekky in the MDR and oftentimes lunch too :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pride doesn't have the punchliner brunch yet, but you can use the coupons at breakfast or lunch in the MDR. We saw several people the last night trying to use the coupons at a bar in the evenings and they were always told they couldn't do it - that it was MDR breakfast or lunch only. I think a lot of folks forget, don't read the fine print, or miss the coupons since they are mixed in with all the junk advertisements in your cabin the first day. The coupons were good for any drink up to a $9 value. The waiters didn't seem to thrilled - they were running themselves silly for free drinks. Our waiter looked quite surprised and thankful when we tipped him a couple $ for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kr8z Posted July 30, 2012 #18 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Serious question... all 4 of our kids are going to get these coupons. Can we use them, or do they have to be smoothies or soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlyn8 Posted July 30, 2012 #20 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I used mine yesterday on the last day of my Valor cruise and got a delicious Chocolate martini at lunchtime. No hassle at all and the waiter said most of his section that used them did so on Monday since it was a sea day and more people eat lunch in the MDR on sea days.

Karlyn8 Posted July 30, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Blue is Newbie color. We had one Newbie with us and she did not get the coupon. Everyone else did and we were a combination of red and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
