cruiser4305 Posted October 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I understand that Platinum and Diamond cruisers get to go to the VIFP party with complimentary drinks, but I really liked the appreciation drink ticket that I got to use on the last night as a Gold member. We really enjoyed getting a nice martini at the Alchemy bar or getting a glass of wine at dinner for free the last night. It feels a little less structured, which is what we like on a cruise. Just seems like they could have kept the drink ticket in addition to the VIFP party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted October 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You mean they no longer give it out? I assumed I must have thrown my own when I didnt get one last cruise. I hope you're wrong and they still give them, but idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canes20 Posted October 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I bet you could find a Gold member that would be willing to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canes20 Posted October 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2018 OP is talking about the free drink coupon Gold can redeem on the last night, not the free drink for use in MDR for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted October 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I wish they would just have a free drink for any bar at any time. I just don't see the point in the restrictions. In May, we just walked to the dining room during brunch, told the host that all we wanted was to redeem the coupon & didn't care to be seated. He got a waiter to take our drink order & bring them to us and we went on our merry way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted October 8, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 8, 2018 OP is talking about the free drink coupon Gold can redeem on the last night, not the free drink for use in MDR for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The title of this says why no appreciation drink for platinum? how can he mean gold? Very confusing thread. No one knows what the OP meant it seems hahahaaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted October 8, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The coupons are given on 5-night and longer cruises. I was disappointed to not get a Gold coupon on 3-night and 4-night sailings on the Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canes20 Posted October 8, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 8, 2018 OP did not mean they quit giving the free appreciation drink to Gold. They just liked getting the coupon better than the platinum/diamond party. They would like to receive both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmmcruiser Posted October 8, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Just off the Pride yesterday and we received our coupons. We go to Guest Services and turn it in for a receipt to be used anytime/anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just liked getting the coupon better than the platinum/diamond party. They would like to receive both. Exactly. I prefer having one nice drink to spend as I wish than feeling forced to go a function at a specific time and feeling like I have to drink a bunch of beer or mixed sugary drinks to "get my money's worth."

Lottacruises Posted October 8, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2018 They do those restrictions because some will forget or won't bother. Less drinks for them to give away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger0613 Posted October 9, 2018 #18 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Can you get a smoothie or daiquiri in the MDR with the platinum coupon? Can you get a smoothie or daiquiri at the party or are you limited to certain drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted October 9, 2018 #19 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Can you get a smoothie or daiquiri in the MDR with the platinum coupon? Can you get a smoothie or daiquiri at the party or are you limited to certain drinks? The coupon is good up to a certain value - maybe $9 - so anything under that is free and anything above you pay the difference. You can get a Virgin daiquiri at the party - not sure about a “smoothie” but any of the virgin drinks on a bar menu appears to be fair game. We often ask the wait staff for things other than what they are serving. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
