Royal Caribbean Diamond Vouchers

[dolphingirl47]

Does anybody have any firsthand experience on how the diamond vouchers work on cruises from Australia? We are sailing on Ovation in February and I just had a look at the drinks menus. I noticed that all cocktails are $15. As per the rules, the vouchers cover drinks up to $14. Are they actually charging the additional $1 per drink? I am absolutely fine if they do, but I am just curious what to expect.

As diamond you get 4 drinks from 5:00 am and another 4 the next day and so on.

To my experience and talking to others ,nobody has never been charged extra .

You can ask for a double and it’s included in the voucher.

Thanks for this. We occasionally had to pay a Dollar or two extra for a glass of wine if it went over the allowance. However, there were alternatives available that would have been included.

Here’s some of the prices from a couple of weeks ago . Most drinks were about $10U.S.  Like the U.K. we don’t like that gratuity thing and it’s included in the price.

We disembarked Quantum 21 December. Mic was drinking Mojitos which I'm pretty sure are USD15 a pop and we didn't get charged anything additional. I usually had a Mud Slide at USD12. 

 

We love the new voucher system.

On Ovation recently and the cocktails at $15 are included in the Diamond vouchers.

We just did back to back on ovation wasn't happy I ordered a glass of glenfidick and a can of coke to mix and they hit me with 2 vouchers for the one drink even though I had the refreshment package.

We also thought this new system was great. 5 drinks a day was actually more than enough and I could drink Chandon which I like very much.Our only problem was we were often charged for a glass or two, but was quickly rectified. We don’t drink cocktails, but saw many that were.

Loved the vouchers, ordered a double scotch (miscommunication, as I had wanted a Johny Walker double black) once and it used 2 of the vouchers.

While the unlimited drinks in the Diamond club during happy hour was good it was excessive and did make the club much too busy.

I am 
Diamond Plus so will get 5 drink vouchers each day.   I will be on Qantam of the seas.   Is there a Diamond Lounge at night and if so do you use your vouchers in there as well as any bar.  Thanks Judy

It was two drinks , the refreshments package  is bar mix only not cans . If bar mix not working  you may get a can .

I was on Quantam in November, I am diamond I only used the Diamond lounge to get coffee, we used our four vouchers in the bars around the ship and occasionally a drink with dinner. If you are in a suite above junior suite you can use the concierge lounge on deck 12 and drinks there in happy hour are not taken off your daily vouchers, so a couple of drinks there before dinner and you still have your vouchers to use later.

Sorry meant to say you use your vouchers in there as well between 4.30pm to 7.30pm.

Canapes not candles.
