Noreen411 Posted July 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi I just got off Explorer of the Seas, 5 night to Bermuda, July 12 - July 17. In my cabin there was a little card that explained the Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Drink voucher. I can't figure out how to put a picture of it on here so I'll do it the old fashioned way and type it out. Front Side of the Card: Welcome aboard the magnificent Explorer of the Seas. We look forward to providing you with a memorable cruise vacation. We are excited to introduce an additional option for you during this cruise: a nightly happy hour from 5:00- 8:30pm to be enjoyed at almost every venue throughout the ship with your friends! * How? Drink vouchers have been pre-loaded onto your SeaPass card to enable you to enjoy the flexibility of up to three complimentary beverages each night at almost every bar throughout the ship. You can still enjoy the exclusive experience of the Diamond Lounge and the Concierge Lounge (for Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members), plus all of the other options available to you! * 3 drink vouchers per day will be applied to each eligible Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members corresponding SeaPass card. Drink vouchers are not accumulative throughout the cruise. Drinks may not be redeemed in the dining room, specialty restaurants or Windjammer Café. Pleaser refer to the Crown and Anchor menu provided at the applicable venues for available selections. Back of Card: Cruising with Royal Caribbean International is truly a rewarding experience, especially when you're a top member of our Crown & Anchor Society Spirits Bacardi Rum Bailey's Irish Cream Tanqueray Gin Finlandia Vodka Dewar's White Label Scotch Whisky Jameson Irish Whiskey Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey Jose Cuervo Told Tequila Courvoisier VS Cognac Sandeman Port Wine Wine by the Glass St Martin Chardonnay Zonin Pinot Grigio Beringer White Zinfandel St Martin Cabernet Sauvignon St Martin Merlot Beers Budweiser Miller Lite Amstel Light Corona Heineken Hope you find this useful Noreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noreen411 Posted July 19, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Where is the Diamond Lounge on the Explorer??? Hi. It's not a dedicated lounge like they have on some of the newer ships, but they will designate a certain bar (maybe Dizzy's) for the nightly Diamond Event (kind of like a Diamond Lounge) Thank you Noreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted July 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Where is the Diamond Lounge on the Explorer??? Have seen them use Maharajah on Deck 5 but lately it's been Cloud 9 for the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be sailing on EX out of Port C for the ABC islands. I don't see a champagne on the list. Did the bars allow the House champagne as an option? I do like the Pinot Grigio. This looks like the first list of Voucher drinks -- the second one had the house champagne but not the Pinot Grigio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted July 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Is soda included in that? I didn't see it on the list. Also, can you get it in the theater before a show? Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just no restaurants. Thanks. I know I can get soda now in the CL and DL, but at one time I couldn't. Several years ago on the Enchantment, soda was not included. I had to pay for it. It has since changed. That is all I drink, so glad that has changed. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreen411 Posted July 20, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi Jamon I am sorry I can't answer. I didn't take much advantage of the vouchers during this trip. I only used one voucher one night. We were at crown and kettle and just asked for something light and fruity. She brought me vodka with cranberry and maybe pineapple juice.

I couldn't understand it either. And now that I think about it, it was like that on the Explorer too. Because if I wanted something to drink I had to drink wine or champagne, which I do not care for. Of course water was free. It was years ago when we first became Diamond back in 2010. Had to look up the date we became D.:p Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars2014 Posted July 20, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've been diamond for many years and have never gone to DL during happy hour. I drink rarely but on a cruise I have one Bacardi or some other blended drink each day. Would I be able to ask server for one blended drink and they take 3 vouchers for it?

Yes, I do remember that, but it was not long before they added soda. Soda probably cost them more than La Terre did.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your card will have the three drinks but what is served at the Diamond event..thanks We were able to get a simple mixed drink at the Diamond Event in Seven of Hearts. We used our vouchers. I don't think they would limit you to wine and champagne as you could go to any bar with your voucher and get a mixed drink. However, I am not sure what you would get if you used up your 3 vouchers. Maybe then, you would be limited at the D event. I don't know for sure. imo the CL was more lenient in what you could get, I'm sure because suites were being served in there. For ex I could get a cosmo in the CL but I'm not sure you could get that at the D event. I didn't ask so I don't know for sure.

Wine and the bubbly, but no beer in 2010. My husband was very upset.....he was looking forward to the beer. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
