cruisegirl1 Posted February 13, 2018 #1351 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I agree with you. However, it would not surprise me if (or when) the Diamonds get booted out that an extra drink or 2 would be added to the card. By the way, I appreciate all the time and research you put in on these boards, Bob. Seriously? 5 drinks in 3 hours? Yikes. Not far off the definition of binge drinking.

Coralc Posted February 13, 2018 #1353 Share Posted February 13, 2018 And if they did away with the free drinks in the lounge I'm sure it will still be crowded since a lot of folks say they go there for the camaraderie and to talk to like minded people:halo: We did last time we were on Rhapsody. DH doesn't really like the lounges anymore, but it was cold outside so I convinced him to come along. We have drink packages, so it was nice to be able to leave the lounge, go to the bar and get our preferred beverages and come back in and chat with others. And since we always have drink packages, the reason to go would be to chat or get coffee or snacks. And I'm pretty sure that there are many other folks just like us. So if it still overcrowded...not my problem. :D:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M 5 beers in 3 hours is miles from binge drinking and I don’t think 5 drinks in 3 hours while on vacation is that much for a lot of people.

M Lighten up, people are on a cruise because they are on vacation. No need to be judgemental.

WeighAnchor Posted February 13, 2018 #1361 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Kinda related here. On my last cruise, I would sometimes use the drink vouchers to get some extra cans of beer for the fridge in the cabin in case I wanted one outside of the cocktail hour. If you request they don't open the can for you, they won't. I wound up with a surplus on my last day of the cruise and took a few with me off the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app This was in October 2017. I should have made it clear that I didn't abuse it and that I wasn't hoarding beer. I think I wound up with 2 extras beers at the very end. I would keep 2-4 extras in the fridge and replenish as needed. I would go to the same bar on a different floor from the DL/CL and get 2 beers whenever necessary. I always gave them a tip and never had an issue.

cruisinfromtampa Posted February 13, 2018 #1364 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I have had a couple snarky members in d lounge comment on how I must have walked in behind someone. I just let it go and mention to my wife in a little louder voice before we leave "honey we have got to come back here tomorrow, they get free drinks here!" 🤣[emoji23]You should see the stares we get the next time we see those same people when we enter the d lounge. Also have heard comments that children of d members should have to earn their own points to be admitted to lounge. I wanted to tell that person that my son is close to d+ on his own history.

We felt extremely welcome thanks to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
