Dred pilot Roberts Posted October 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hi all leaving Monday on the indy and was just looking at drink prices on the app. It is showing most of the top shelf drinks are $14. We have done 2 cruises this year and I thought that the drinks prices were $13 and the diamond drink coupons were $13. Can anyone confirm the pricing changes and if so we’re the DC value adjusted to cover or did they change you an extra dollar to cover the difference? thanks.

Being discussed in an existing thread - you won't know for sure you try it but assume the same drinks will be covered by C&A coupons as before.

cruisegirl1 Posted October 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2022 If not covered, some drinks will cost just $1.18. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 10, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It would be bad business to not up the voucher price cap to coincide with the price increase 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofer Posted October 10, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2022 We were Diamond for the first time in January. Hubby was included in my status. We each had the 4 drinks on our cards every day. He asked and received top shelf liquor and never paid extra. I like the frou-frou drinks and never an upcharge. We never used all the drinks every day.

Nodakboiler Posted October 11, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 11, 2022 We use any extras to bring back sodas and give them to the room stewards. We ask what kind they like and they can share with their friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjlaac Posted October 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don't see a topic with my specific question so this seems to be the best place to start...apologies if I'm wrong. We have an eleven day cruise starting on 1/2/23 when we both will qualify for diamond status. I know that doesn't happen until after the cruise is complete which will be 1/13/23. Typically the points are credited in a week or so which should be around 1/20/23. We then have a trip booked starting on 1/24/23 which we should be Diamond. So here's my question...what if the system doesn't update before we sail on the 24th? Is there a way once onboard to straighten out our status and receive diamond status benefits and what do we need to accomplish that? Thanks in advance for all your help folks..we really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, go see the Loyalty Ambassador onboard and they should be able to promote you to D if the system hasn't already.

pattycake08 Posted October 14, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Just became Diamond so looking forward to the 4 free drink vouchers per day. I understand they upped the price to $14.00 per drink, and the voucher will reflect the new amount. My question is am I expected to pay the 18% gratuity on any drink that is $14.00 or less, and if so, assuming I will have to cover that cost?

If you'd like the server/bartender to receive a tip, then yes. You will be charged nothing. It's up to you to tip on your own. It's common practice to tip $1-2 per D drink but tipping is, of course, a personal matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted October 14, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Some cruisers: "Will my diamond daily drink allowance cover $14 drinks? It's madness if I have to pay $1 plus tip for the difference!" These same cruisers: "I tip my stateroom attendant $500 per cruise!" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I really saw that was above 13 was wine. Did you actually get wine that was more than 13.00? I didn't see any mixed drinks including ones i just popped out of my head and not on the menu cost more than 13 last week. We were actually charged the difference when we ordered more expensive wine. And last week, it was $13.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your drinks, up to $14.00, will be covered by your Diamond vouchers. You do not pay gratuity. You will not get a bill, they will just bring you back your drink, and your card if they took it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have not been presented with a wine i did not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
