shofer Posted July 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2021 We are new to Diamond level and taking our first cruise as such. I'm reading now that instead of 3 drinks posted on your card, that there are vouchers to be used on "any" bar. Does this apply to ordering wine in the MDR? Also what about specialty coffees? Can you use the vouchers for that? We are debating ordering one drink package for him and a refreshment package for me as I don't drink very much. Any info would be appreciated.

Sue There are no physical vouchers, they are added to your sea pass card. Hit and miss in MDR, but we have never not been able to get a drink in the MDR or show rooms on any ship over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess each ship is different because we have no issue with either the MDR or shows with the card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBlackDress Posted July 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Pre-Covid We were able to get a drink in the MDR, if we were there before 7:30, even tho Happy Hour was til 8/8:30. I know on a few ships the DL Cappuccino Maker wasn't working properly and we received a letter in our stateroom that they added 1 specialty coffee on our SeaPass per day. Post-Covid it is anyone's guess right now. I would wait until there have been a few cruises from the US to get an idea of what might become the new norm If you are looking at the prices of the Deluxe/Refreshment Package and it is a good price now, book it. You can always cancel it or cancel it and repurchase it if the price goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue It may of changed post covid, but I believe if one person in the stateroom has a drink package everyone over 21 must also have the drink package to avoid sharing one package for multiple people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call they will allow the second person to purchase the refreshment package. It has been like this for a couple of years at least 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Since you don't drink much why not just get the refreshment package for yourself and let your hubby use your vouchers. each D member will get 4 per day. even buying a couple extra drinks will be a lot cheaper than the delux package 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in SoCal and spent most of my adult life there! Never once did I think of myself from the south. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I am not saying there is anything wrong with being from the south! lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here-for the past few years. The only place they couldn’t be used was the robot bar. m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If the 4 diamond vouchers are use anywhere anytime, except that auto bar, they should be good in the Mdr for sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted July 3, 2021 #15 Share Posted July 3, 2021 When ordering in the MDR, I’ve always specified that I wanted it as one of my Diamond drinks, but not sure if it was necessary to specify. I was always successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
