D+ Coupon book? (Still a thing?)

[shand32783]

Howdy!

 

Been out of the game for about 4 years now after 12 years of cruising. I vaguely remember a coupon book that would be in your stateroom. Does Royal still do this? If so, what is in it now? (pics?)

 

I have read up on the daily drink we should receive which sounds like a nice new perk (new to us at least). Can you get the blended drinks with those?

 

Anyways glad to be back and although it's only (I know) a 7 day cruise, I'm glad we're heading back to cruising.

 

Cheers!

It's a letter waiting for you in the cabin outlining all the benefits on your Seapass card - no physical vouchers. You can get any drink you want.

All due benefits will be pre-loaded on your seapass.

But you have to tell them you are using the benefit or you may get charged full price.

Thanks for asking this question and thanks for the answers. It has been about 10 years since my last cruise. I am sailing my 33rd cruise in November. The D word and Covid cost me time cruising, but now retirement is getting me back into it.

Any drink up to $13 is included, so yes, that includes daiquiris and margaritas and pina colada.  If it's over that price, you'll be charged the difference plus 18% gratuity.

Does anyone by chance have a copy of the D+ letter showing the benefits? I'll be on Oasis. Not sure if it's different on different ships, etc.

Thanks!

I found this to be true too. I bought multiple logo items in the shops but never remember to ask for my logo discount. .. have to ask.

Some subtle differences between ships.  last week on Ovation it was;

 

50% off coupon for any glass of wine beer or soda ( two coupons per sailing) as opposed to 50% off two glasses purchased together

I imagine the BOGO dinner also varies ship to ship. Grandeur said excludes Izumi and chef table. Usually I wouldnt read it that closely except I wanted izumi.

not sure what you are looking for. The diamond ambassador has always been able to take care of any requests. Loyalty ambassador on every ship. What are you looking for having done?

Ok I think now it's just for pinnacles and suites.

 

I'm very happy just having a diamond lounge i dont get on other lines. But that's me. I really enjoyed on grandeur especially early mornings early risers all chatting over the specialty coffee, maybe I'm easy to please. ..I may never hit pinnacle.

Yes, you are correct. Like myself I never cruise other lines and also believe we will never hit the big "P".

 

Either way we are also happy using the DC.

D Coupons gone like E Tickets at Disney!

Someone asked me if fresh squeezed orange juice can be used as one of the five drinks.  I don't know the answer.

I remember those!!

And during your cruise you ask for a printout of what you have left unused.

The tickets were more than E tickets.  Based on type of rides and the "E" was the ultimate.  Used the E many times for "Pirates of the Caribbean".  My favorite.

Yes, that's why the comparison.  D (actually D+) coupons and E Tickets were at the top of the line for their intended use.  E Tickets were for the top tier rides, like you said, "Pirates of the Caribbean".  Or, Space Mountain.  My favorite (back in the day of E Tickets and being a lot younger).

I might be dumb, but how were they “more” than e tickets? They got you on an e ticket ride....what else did they do?
