We always get the drink package. Could we give away our 3x2 (6) drinks we are not using to others? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not the drink package or the 3 voucher police, so what someone else does I really don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of everyone wanting to take things away. Why, I don't know, unless it's jealousy from those who are not D or D+. In any case, a glass of wine at lunch, one in the afternoon and two with dinner along with three cocktails over 24 hours would be fine. Time to ask for more, not less! I think they should reduce the cruise prices by 50% and offer Diamonds a FREE drink package, free Internet, and free ultimate dining package! What do you think? Is that enough? The idea of the lounge was to provide a happy hour for repeat customers, not to give someone the ability to drink for free all day. By the way, the lounges are rarely busy during non-happy hour times. m Edited July 14, 2020 by cruisegirl1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we give away our 3x2 (6) drinks we are not using to others? Thanks Yes. I emailed CAS and asked if drink coupons can be used to give HH drinks to non-Diamond. They stated absolutely. That doesn't include taking a drink from the DL and giving it away, drink coupons only. Where it gets complicated is when a bartender knows you have the drink package and you try to give a HH drink. This seems to confuse some bartenders so you have to be very clear about your intentions and requesting a HH covered drink vs. DX covered drink. I've learned to ask first... "I have the DX but I also have 3 HH D coupons. Can I give a HH bottle of water to my friend? Yes? Okay, how about a HH Amstel Light?". Otherwise they get confused and assume you are trying to share the DX. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desperate addicts will grab their masks and run onto the ships no matter what. Extra benefits wouldn't really change demand for the next many months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a customer I will happily accept any benefits the cruise companies offer to keep me loyal. I guess the only people who want to see customers getting less are shareholders and the bean counters.

First stop the cuts and stop lying by saying they are "enhancing our experience" when giving us a cup of coffee in return for eliminating the CL experience. Be honest! Simply put... stop the cuts and slow the erosion to the program. If changes are necessary, grandfather in existing members and then make changes. I would also grant limited admission to Coastal Kitchen for higher level D+. This will make some angry, but they need to remember that the easy way to Pinnacle is first and foremost living in Florida. RCCL should reward, in some way, those of us who don't have that advantage, have to spend extra on travel, but are still loyal to Royal. I'll stop here. Oxo, Please stay safe as well! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but don't forget you have Cape Liberty, NJ, Boston and Baltimore within driving distance and less driving time that most Northern Floridians have to drive to get down to the ports South of them. How about the people who live in the Mid-West and not close to any airport? Should those people be rewarded more? Where do you draw the line? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
