Rare itsanita Posted January 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We will be on the Allure of the Sea in a few weeks and my understanding is that due to overcrowding at the lounge, the drinks that you would normally enjoy during the 'happy hour' are now put on your sea pass for use at any of the ships bars. I have a couple questions. First, is this true? How many drinks per night? Is there a specific time that they are available? And does it include all bars? What about in the dining room or at a show since those times may overlap? I am still seeing a diamond lounge on the deck plan. Is that just used for breakfast? Thanks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you help You will get 3 drink vouchers per evening, to be used in addition to the unlimited drinks you can still get in the DL. The drinks can be used at virtually all bars (might be one or two where they are not allowed), during the time period when drinks are served in the DL. Drink vouchers cannot be used in restaurants, but they can be used in the main theater. The DL is still used just as it always has been.

Thanks for you help When is your dining time? I found on Oasis when the lounge opened at 5pm it was packed, but a bunch of people left at 5:30 for the early seating. We just started arriving then and found to be enough room for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario Cruiser Posted January 5, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I hope that cruisers know the bartenders who serve in the Diamond lounge or when you use your preloaded card do not make tips on these drinks. So cash tips when you are served are appreciated. OntarioCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So cash tips when you are served are appreciated. OntarioCruiser We have always found that the bartenders in the lounges soon learn when you are likely to go to dinner and ask you if you would like another drink before you leave (to carry out). We always tip them well on the last evening. Once in the windjammer for a quick breakfast before disembarking our bartender was working and came bounding up to say good bye and hope to see you again :) Another time our bartender (jamaican) gave my DH a very cool soundbite to play on his radio program :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
