hardingk Posted August 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Great Question! I was wondering the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgoodrich Posted August 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2014 And I have wondered this too!:p We're leaving on Navigator on Sunday, and I do love a mojito for my sail away drink, so if they have vouchers, I will try ordering one and let you all know what I learn…;) Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysail2 Posted August 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The drink vouchers are good between 5:30pm-8:30pm, so if your sail away is between those times, you can use them. I hope we can get some fancier drinks with them....do you think pouting would work...LOL...:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanantoniored Posted August 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I had great success using vouchers to get "off menu" requests filled if I tipped as I ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysail2 Posted August 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think the time frame is 4:30pm-8pm. That was the allotment when I was on Freedom earlier this month. I may be. I always thought they were valid during the Diamond and Up Lounge hours which have always been 5:00-8:30 or so on any of my cruises. I guess it's up to the individual ship. But I'm glad to read that tipping increases the drink menu selection...:p BTW...what's the standard tip when tipping per drink like this? I've never had drink vouchers on any cruise and just tipped at the end in the DL on my cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Yes, the hours are supposed to align with the MDR seating times. On Freedom and Grandeur, the first seating is 5:30 so Happy Hour (!) starts at 4:30. When main seating is 6, booze time starts at 5. I *think* that the Explorer is one ship that deviates from that model. Well, ONE ship does, and someone corrected me earlier this week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobydobe7 Posted August 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2014 When I was on the Indy in April I was NOT ALLOWED to use the Diamond Voucher for a Bahama Mama's at the pool bar during the allotted time. The bartender shoved a paper at me listing what alcohol could be ordered and in not uncertain terms was I allowed to order the Bahama Mama (which was also the Drink of the Day). Needless to say I never visited that bar for the rest of the cruise while that particular bartender was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILuvCruisin' Posted August 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Have to always keep in mind that it isn't part of the list. So some will and some won't. Just find the wills and you're in business. ;) Either way though I won't hold it against the won'ts. They're just doing their job. And that's Kool. :cool: Edited August 23, 2014 by ILuvCruisin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSCruiser Posted August 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Good question about the Mojito. I've seen a list of liquors allowed, but they should also list availability of popular cocktails. Its been my understanding that they will do drinks with "common mixers", so why not a Mojito? We've had a hassle on a few ships with Bloody Mary, but don't know why.

I believe that this bartender was on the Celebrity Constellation last Spring. :rolleyes: I had the same thing happen to me when I ordered a drink from a bar that I had not frequented during the week. I ordered the same drink that I had all week from another bar, using the free beverage package. The bartender shoved the paper at me with a "no!" :eek: I was mortified! We have had margaritas in the Diamond Lounge so am hoping to get one at a bar with my coupon. That's my drink! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid a crew member follow the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted August 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There were margaritas in the CL on Navigator on one of our previous cruises this year,don't remember which date. So I am also hopeful of getting a voucher margarita on NOS in two weeks. We have seen lemondrops and cosmos in the CL on almost every ship in recent years, also, a few chocolate martinis and apppletinis. NOS CL was serving Bailey's in May. Hope that is still there!

george35 Posted August 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Will be on the ENCHANTMENT in Oct. & want to know if the DIAMOND lounge is open? I know we will be issued drink coupons I was wondering if the lounge will be open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
