la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted June 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi folks, First, a question: for the sodas available as Diamond drinks, either in the lounge or at the bars, does anybody know what the options are? Is it just Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite or is there a bit more to choose from? Also, for what it's worth ... I recently called a C&A rep who mentioned that the three nightly drinks for Diamonds are now available in the dining room on ALL ships. Supposedly they have recently changed the policy fleet-wide. Of course, there's no guarantee that it will be uniformly applied, but at least in theory, that's the way it should be. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2019 They usually have cans in the lounges, so there may be a bit more than 3 choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just add some grenadine to the coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the actual time is 30 minutes before early traditional dining seating until the start of late traditional dining seating. So if early traditional dining is at 5:00 and late seating is at 8:00 then the happy hour will start at 4:30 and end at 8:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if early traditional dining is at 5:00 and late seating is at 8:00 then the happy hour will start at 4:30 and end at 8:00. One hour before first seating until the time of second seating. (You will generally find fixed times of 5:30 & 8 or 6 & 8:30) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, I see Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Diet Sprite, Ginger Ale. I am so sad that I never find Caffeine Free Diet Coke anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would free up space in the Diamond lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzD123 Posted June 27, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Wait...What?! Ability to use our Diamond drinks in the MDR? Also hoping that this is correct. If so, that will be a very pleasant change. Thanks for the heads up! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long-running thread on this topic, I posted a couple of days ago that from all the reports, it seems to be on all ships finally.

If you want a drink with dinner you have to purchase one, get one prior the HH ending and bring it in the dining room, use the beverage package or use a bottle of wine you brought on board. I’m sure there are other options too. M Edited June 27, 2019 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
