Rare LMaxwell Posted December 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Could have sworn the benefits page used to exclude Day 1; has that been done away with? Date on updated version is October. Anyone onboard from October-current that can let me know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathynorth Posted December 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Still no happy hour on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Still no for day one Elite Cocktails Additionally there is no coffee House breakfast on disembarkation morning. In other words, the information on the website is incomplete. No surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2022 You'll receive a print out day 1 in your cabin that gives the details. Will also say HH excluded from the World bar and Craft Social regardless if the ship has them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navymom2x Posted December 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2022 So we will be new to the Elite status on our next cruise. We always got the drink package but it is crazy now in price. We do early dining, will I be able to order a glass of wine in the dining room or will we be having to run out all thru dinner to get a glass of wine??

Northern Aurora Posted December 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2022 You will not be able to order a glass of wine from the Captain's Club happy hour drink list in the dining room, but you can carry one into the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted December 21, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I had no problem ordering CC HH drinks in the dining room recently; I didn't know it was excluded<?>, but that no Day 1 rule is absurd since it's not in Michael's Club anymore and covers every (most) bars onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear if that happened then it was the fault of the server not charging you for the drink and it definitely isn't the policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Can you show me? Our servers on Equinox offered that we could redeem CC HH through them and did so every night for us. I know World Bar is excluded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like that for DECADES. It doesn't say anything about the restaurants at all. I certainly didn't twist anyones arm to serve us in the MDR if that's what you are asking. We had drinks when we walked in, the servers asked if we wanted replenishment, we told them they were CC HH drinks and they said no problem; had drinks waiting for us at table each evening after that. Yes, that IS great service. I'm not sure I can agree with you though that CC HH is not applicable to restaurants, at least not based on the information you posted. If you find some other documentation that specifically states that please post it and I'll save in my current file of policies for each cruise line. I maintain folder of up to date policies as we cruise several lines and these things are always changing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to know if we wanted to go to dinner a little bit earlier we could and still enjoy our wine!

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 21, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I wouldn’t base future reservations on this one example of getting the happy hour drinks in the dining room. Whether it was an inexperienced server? Or a waiter who didn’t know the policy? Or just didn’t care? I don’t think you’ll be able to get a happy hour drink in the dining room as a general matter of course . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted December 21, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks @LMaxwell for making some of us to think out of the box. I never tried to use our CC HH drinks in the MDR. We have for years had the CBP. We'll be on the Apex in March (also have AI with the CBP) but I'm going to ask out of curiosity. Another thought is it may not be recognized fleetwide (?). I remember when RC started allowing the CAS HH drinks in the MDR it wasn't fleetwide. It is now fleetwide.

I wouldn't base reservations on a daily perk in general, I like being up to date on policies; but why are you under the impression that the dining room does not count?

You were asked several times to provide proof, and while I believed you had read it, you kept posting without sharing any printed proof. I'm not your doormat or punching bag.

I wasn't wrong. Other guy has a massive attitude and anger problem. He could have posted the proof first without attempting to incite an argument. I don't see what you gained license to be flippant or rude as well. I participate on CC to be up to date on policies, see my initial posting and question. The bullying and badgering by some of the regulars is insane. Edited December 21, 2022 by LMaxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
