luvscruising2007 Posted June 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I just recently noticed on my reservation an opportunity to select gift preference. They ask what you want for a drink. I assume it is just one can of soda or water. Both DH and I are Emerald. Do we both receive a soda or is it like the snack pack and it is only one per cabin? The only reason I ask is because DH drinks coke; I prefer diet coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reney313 Posted June 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's the little things that make me smile. I don't know why I'm so stinking excited to get my first "free" can of Diet Coke for my first Emerald cruise, but I am :) I do need to get my boyfriend to log into his account and select his preference. Otherwise he'd probably steal my Diet Coke from me and make me very sad. LOL When is it we get a free alcoholic drink? Diamond or Diamond Plus??

You have to wait until D+ before they offer beer as a choice. They used to offer small bottles of wine too, but that was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethco Posted June 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Good luck with the diet coke, I always get water even though i put in diet coke. I manage to not let it ruin my cruise, but it's tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave a note for the bar services attendant explaining the situation; I'm sure it would be fixed for you with minimal effort. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted June 22, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2013 OK--a quick question. We will be emerald on our next cruise. I went into the Ca and A area and selected Diet Coke as my drink choice. Do I have to do that for DH, too? Or will they just give him what I selected? I tried to create a "my cruises" account with his C and A number--but, there were issues. Does not seem worth the trouble to resolve. DH never goes onto the RCL site to do the cruise documents. [but, RC always addresses all of their offers and correspondence to him.:rolleyes:] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraLee Posted June 22, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 22, 2013 What about kids? Do they get a welcome gift? When they were in the cabin with me, there was just one drink. This time they are booked with non-emerald person, but they are emerald. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isn't an emerald or above in the cabin they will not get the welcome basket (or beverage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherry7 Posted June 22, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Is the "welcome basket" now the new loyalty gift, instead of the tote bag that they used to give out several years ago? The tote bags were nice, but I have several of them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do everything for our cruises........choose the cruise, book the cruise, check in online, etc. and RCI addresses everything to DH. Do you think that RCI might be a bit sexist? Or maybe they just haven't joined the rest of us in the 21st century. For the free beverage I select whatever beverage my DH likes since I don't drink soda and we always carry on our own water.

No tote bags, no baseball caps, no picture frames, etc. I never got a tote bag and was looking forward to getting one, but before I could get one the welcome basket became the C&A gift. It's funny because that was the only C&A gift that I really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how organized RCI is about such things anyway...I never get emails from them, and the sale info is always for UK resident offers, sailing out of Southhampton. I live in FL. :rolleyes: I'm happy with whatever we get, someone will enjoy it even if it's not me. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcell Posted June 22, 2013 #20 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The funny thing is the welcome basket usually comes with mixed nuts or something that "may" contain peanuts...my entire family is allergic to nuts. Wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loyalty gift was for all levels of C&A, was different cruise to cruise (mostly), and was usually something useful to take home. The welcome aboard gift starts at Emerald and is the same snack every time with a beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britty1 Posted June 23, 2013 #22 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Confused: So if I order a Coke under DH C&A number for our emerald status gift I would like to confirm that since we are two people both emerald status in the stateroom that it will be delivered with two cokes, or, do I also have to go into my C&A number and do the same for me for them to deliver two cokes. Thanks for any input you can provide. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
