thewynn Posted November 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2021 **THIS IS NOT ABOUT SHARING A PACKAGE!!!! I just purchased my wife the refreshment (non alcohol) package. She does have some mobility issues but she wanted the package on her card for when she is out and about. If she is in the cabin and wants something to drink, can I take her card and get her something to drink? Again, please I don't want to get slammed about sharing, this isn't about me getting a drink for myself on her card, that is not the intention. For myself I'm going to drink water or buy individual alcohol drinks- I just want to know if I'm able to use her card to get her a drink. Thanks.

Another_Critic Posted November 24, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Yes, no, maybe = YMMV. Maybe ask the F&B manager when you board how you should handle your situation? Edited November 24, 2021 by Another_Critic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted November 24, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We never had an issue with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smplybcause Posted November 24, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Especially since you're in the same room, it shouldn't be an issue Though I will say I haven't done it when the person asking didn't have a package. ie There's 5 of us in the pool and two take everyone's cards to go get everyone a drink. Though the last time I was on the ship they just asked for room number and name. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkertwo Posted November 24, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I always send hubby to fetch drinks. He has refreshment package, I have DDP. He has only had an issue once. They wanted to know where I was. He was able to point me out so they gave it to him but told him I needed to be there. This was at the solarium bar. No one else questioned it. Just be prepared in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted November 24, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2021 My husband and I just got off the Adventure 2 days ago. We used our diamond vouchers for drinks. At least 3x, one of us would use both cards or the other one's card at night to get bottled water or 2 cans of soda. In 10 days (2 cruises) no one had an issue. Only thing they cared about was that we wore a mask if inside ordering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. Diamond vouchers and drink packages don't have the same rules. Diamond vouchers can be used for anyone, drink packages are for the individual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted November 24, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 24, 2021 OP - if you want to get your wife a drink with her beverage package, just show your card as well. That way there is no question. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the bar tender uses the card to pay/charge for the drink a picture of the person attached to that card shows up on the computer screen and they still don't seem to care.

Eddie Wilson Posted November 25, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 25, 2021 DW has Delux Beverage Package, and I have refreshment package. She likes wine and fufu drinks, I am not much into alcohol but love the coffee, OJ, water and (ok, I will admit it) some of the non alcohol fufu drinks. For years I have taken her card and presented it at a bar for an alcoholic drink, while also presenting my card for a non alcoholic drink, never had an issue.

Eddie Wilson Posted November 25, 2021 #18 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Oh and follow up, I can testify that the barkeeps do a WONDERFUL job in making those non alcoholic fufu drinks. We experiment with them, and sometimes just ask them to surprise us, and they know what they are doing. DW gets alcohol and I don’t in same concoction Edited November 25, 2021 by Eddie Wilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink packages are NOT shareable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
