Question for the Golds about the "Appreciation drink"

[beachbum53]

We just got off Dream yesterday and we got coupons for 1 free drink each for the last day of the cruise. We used them with no problem. We are gold.

 

Golds get both the water and the coupon!:eek:

 

:rolleyes:

 

 

Hmmm. Either we got short-changed, or the cabin steward forgot to leave us the coupons. Maybe I should write a letter to Carnival and complain. Or better yet, I'll contact John Heald. Think I can get a free cruise out of this? :rolleyes:

hahaha :p

 

thats about it

I was on the Miracle last week and I just used the coupon at a regular bar. No lines.. And it was just as good as the dozens of others I had.

 

On the other hand the drinks I had at the past guest party always seemed watered down.

If the cruise is not long enough for a past guest party there will not be any coupons for gold passengers.

We were gold this cruise on the Glory. There is a letter in your room with your gold membership pin attached to it. Across the bottom is your tear off certificate/coupon for the free drink.

 

We cashed ours in in the amber lounge during a show.

This is for at least 5 days cruises, right?

[bubbles4ever]

quick question....can it be used at the coffee bar?

[Tutontow]

It is good to know you can order any drink and just pay the difference if it goes over $9.00.

 

Thank you CC members for the information.

We got beer with ours at one of the bars on the Lido deck by the pool on the Carnival Dream. We had to sign a receipt where we could leave a tip and pay the tax. I think we were taxed (around 25 cents or so) because the ship was already in Louisiana. There was only one guest at the bar.

 

Didn't know about the tax thing. Is than only if you are in the waters of a taxing jurisdiction?

Yes.

Off the Pride yesterday and we used ours at the Alchemy Bar. Since the coupon is only good for $9.00, you pay a difference of $1.09, but it was VERY worth it for me to know that I was getting a good quality drink. :)

 

Thanks, that's good to know because the wife loves the chocolate martini and thought she couldn't use the coupon for one because of the price.

Please-Only If you have recently cruised CCL.

 

Were there long wait lines to get your after 5PM "Appreciation drink" on the last evening of the cruise?

 

Did it seem watered down?

 

thanks

 

I don't drink a whole lot, so I'm not sure if the drink was watered down or not (I had a Hurricane Wave) but I do know I had to chase down a bar waiter (we were in the theatre) in order to use my coupon. He saw me with it and started walking the other way very, very quickly. DH and DS used theirs later in the evening for sodas and the bartender gave them the stinkeye for using their coupons.

yes...5 day cruises and you use the coupon after 5pm

 

I had a long Island Ice tea in the dining room 2 week ago on Splendor

Oh yes... I guess they dont get the grat. Forgot about that :confused:

Yes, you can.

[hartsnvt]

Can you give it away or do you need to show your Sail & Sign card with the coupon?

[Retired_to_Cruise]

Yep, the bottle of water replaced the old drink coupon and the new drink coupon replaced the past guest party for us lowly gold members.

 

If you don't like them, don't drink the water or get the free drink. Simple as that.

[Vitamin_Sea]

Well.. it does have your name on the coupon. You may have to get something.

Doesnt have to have alcohol.

Gee thanks for that great advise. It was a very helpful contribution to this thread.

Yeah..no tip for them. DH wasn't feeling well the last night anyway and all he wanted was a Sprite to help calm his stomach.

[EpcotBill]

In my previous post I meant advice. It's too bad you can't edit after a short period of time.

You're welcome!

That's where me and the DH used ours on the Breeze in June. We got frappacino and the kids got milkshakes.
