mafig Posted August 16, 2018 #76 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I'll be on Freedom in October and we are Diamond. How did you "identify" yourself as Diamond to the bar staff in the MDR so that they took care of you the rest of the week? I'd like to know that also.

When you place your bar order and present your card, they will know you are Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted August 16, 2018 #78 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's emblazoned on your Sea Pass card. When you place your bar order and present your card, they will know you are Diamond. At the bar, the bartender will scan your card and may or may not give you a receipt. Also, to be sure that you are not charged for any of the 3 drinks allowed during happy hour, check your expenditures on the interactive tv. Sometimes the charge does appear and have to go to GS for removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted August 16, 2018 #79 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Kinda feel sorry for the assistant waiters doing the early dining on a TransAtlantic if they allow happy hour in the MDR. Not sure where in the kitchen they go to get the beverages.....but it must be a very long slow moving line. Got an email from Brilliance Concierge stating we have 64% diamond and above on my upcoming TA. Got a feeling most eat early. Glad we do late dining!

britty1 Posted August 16, 2018 #80 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Explorer did but I don't know if that was only for the transpacific. Yes, i got them on explorer. Transpacific sailing. I was shocked but happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YlangYlangF9PB3E Posted August 16, 2018 #81 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think Empress should, as they are the only ship without a Diamond Lounge. Not getting my hopes up, though. Whenever you think Royal will do the right thing, well, don't get your hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted August 19, 2018 Author #82 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I am not sure that RCI giving free drinks is necessarily the “right” thing to do, but it doesn’t suck when it happens. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCL4ME Posted August 19, 2018 #87 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just stepped off of Vision of the Seas Saturday. Diamond drink vouchers were taken in MDR and in Giovanni’s. Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted August 20, 2018 Author #88 Share Posted August 20, 2018 John, I hope you are having a great time. We fly Wednesday to Napa (SFO) then Saturday transition to Alaska. For most of a week in an RV, then the Radiance back to Vancouver. I don’t think I will even consider the thought of MDR free drinks. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 20, 2018 #95 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Can use diamond drinks at specialty restaurants too right? Probably varies by ship, restaurants were not included when this program started, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted August 22, 2018 Author #96 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Probably varies by ship, restaurants were not included when this program started, Yes but always remember your own quotes. Royal is consistently inconsistent RCI. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they have changed it and wish there was consistency among ships in this and all things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
