TA free specialty dinner without vouchers?

[39august]

A very large cruise TA has informed me that there are no longer vouchers for a complimentary specialty restaurant from the TA. I was advised just to go to the restaurant of my choice and make a reservation, and that the manager there would have a manifest of all pax with TA paid dinner. Has anyone experiened this, please?

Mine just showed up like an obc on my account on board. I could have used the dollar amount for anything on the ship.

In all the times that we've received vouchers from our TA....they have never taken them from us on the ship. They always refer to a list that they have.

When we made the reservation they checked to see if our names were on "the list". The last time was in Sept. on Allure. At the end of dinner the waiter asked for the vouchers to put with the bill. Maybe the process has changed??

no worries, August39. we were just on the Freedom January27-February3 and that is exactly what they had. When we boarded, we went to Chops and made a reservation for the first night. At that time, I told the girl that took our reservation that we had a "voucher" from our TA for a complimentary dinner. (We did not have a "voucher", so I took the one I printed with our confirmation from the TA that stated we had the dinner included ($60.00) value. She took out a list & found our names & highlighted them with a yellow highlighter and said everything was taken care of. No one, not even our waiter, asked for a paper voucher or even a confirmation from the TA. EASY, PEASY!!

 

Hope you enjoy your complimentary meal as much as we did. The atmosphere was wonderful. We were seated at a table for 2 right by the window. There was a full moon, shing down on the ocean. So romantic....

I had a different experience. While on Jewel this past December 2012, we were asked for a voucher we didn't have. Despite explaining that our specialty dinner was a TA perk, we were billed. Post-cruise, our TA did however send us apologies and a refund.
