Welcome drinks

[Chiliburn]

We usually get 3-4 bottles of water in our cabin on embarking.

 I believe we can change it to soda or beer as we don’t use the water.

 I emailed crown &anchor and they said we have to make a selection up to 14 days before the cruise.But it doesn’t say how to make the selection.

 I thought I would ask here as I find people here more on the ball.

I believe you now have to call and cannot do so online any longer

Call Crown & Anchor Society and set up your preference.  I think the number (in the US) is (800) 762-0585. 

 

There are specific choices available, but I am unable to find the list.  Once you make your choice, it will be set for subsequent cruises unless you change it.

The option to get beer as a welcome aboard beverage is for D+ And above.

Here’s the email response .

 It appears I have to select 14 days before each cruise.

 I will call them a try to make a selection.

A small number of bottled water is given as a gift, not listed as a C&A perk anywhere, outside of the selectable welcome aboard beverage.  The number of bottles seems random, sometimes 2, 3, 4, etc.

At the Emerald C&A level and above, you have a choice of a welcome aboard beverage.  Contact C&A to make your choice.

Thank you, that's very helpful!  I have a long ways to go, but it's nice to find out something new, at least for me ...lol

Hi, the welcome drink is per person, Not per household as they write!

 

The D+ amenity is per household. 

 

But at least they admit it exists! I’ve got friends who were told by RCI Australia that the C&A amenities were only for the USA 🤷‍♀️!!

From reading on this forum,you nominate a standing request.

The email suggests you have to order each cruise.

 I’ll give them a call 2 weeks before,

we sail in 3.5 weeks.

 

We just don’t use the water.

No you don’t!
They set your preference and it remains until you call and change it again. 
I have a standing order for Diet Coke and Pinot Grigio!  It’s been that option for years! 
The water is always delivered. Quantity of bottles varies!

That’s why I asked here,people here seem to know the facts better than R C.

 

Or maybe they do it different down under???
