What's the story with drink vouchers?

[leisuretraveler223]

I see a couple threads about drink vouchers for certain passengers. I'm heading out on Allure next month. It is my first cruise as a diamond level. I am in a suite, and I have a drink package. As such, I'm not really too concerned about the whole issue (never been a big fan of the CL, haven't seen the DL). But I'm just curious. What's the deal with the vouchers?

Thanks for that. I feel kind of incompetent in not finding those threads on my own. But they certainly helped.

 

Having said that, with the ultimate package, I guess they really don't make much of a difference, do they?

Correct, compared to the drink voucers, the Ultimate package would give you a much larger selection of drinks, without any time contraints.
