Diamond/D+ C&A Ultimate value booklet dated 04/09, version 13

[heatherb1958]

Just got off the Navigator eastbound transatlantic and we were issued with the above but clearly some people onboard were still getting some old booklets from their room stewards. This is one thing that bugs me, why can't they automatically discard all the old stock when new stock arrives onboard so people don't swear black is white that the new ones didn't exist :mad:. This didn't happen to me but did to others. I brought the booklet home to post on here to let everyone know the changes. We used the 10$ (dollars) internet credit and BOGOF glass of wine coupons.

Interesting.

 

So there was no free Johnny Rockets coupon....just a free milkshake with the purchase of another one?

well done Heather for posting that long list of carp.

What a waste of trees;) The booklets i mean

 

Will keep the wine and coffee ones until they expire, which isnt long or we use them which ever comes first.

We really missed the Johnnie Rockets and they did as well as we saw very few people in there.

What's a "wine flight?" Is that another name for the tastings? :)

Hi Glenys, you always know how to put things nicely:p.

Funny how the coupons say " Valid during this cruise" then have an expiration date of 03/31/2010 !!

A flight of anything (I've seen it in bars with tequila and beer) is tastings, often of like 4 or 5 different types of that liquor.

[amybeth4]

Thanks for typing this out.

 

And yeesh, because the measly little Gold book just had "BOGO any alcoholic drink," not just WINE, as well as no cover charge in Johnny's, just in Feb. Love the cutbacks!

A wine flight is served in Vintages and is a sampler/taster of 3 or 4 wines. Sorry don't know what size is served or the costs but there are several "groupings" to choose from . It has nothing to do with the wine tastings you speak of.

So no free drink coupon. That sucks. And no Johnny Rockets coupon? Is that right for Diamond?

[Elizanessie]

Please can someone explain a "Hot Beverage Souvenir Cup" ..never heard of that :confused: and Wilderness Express railcars :confused:

 

Grrrr....no JR coupon :(

Paul, we had the JR's coupon in our books last week on the Adventure. It was the same one that we have been using since they started the charge.

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

I will be miffed if the free Johnny Rockets coupon has been discontinued. I never order a milk shake, so a milk shake coupon does nothing for me.

[Merion_Mom]

On the 4/19 Mariner, my coupon booklet was an old one - it even had the free photo coupon in it!

 

I think that they are randomly using up old booklets.

 

A bar server told us that all-electronic coupons are in the near future.

[megr1125]

not thinking i like this too much.....another "enhancement":eek::rolleyes:

Grrrr....no JR coupon :(

 

maybe wilderness express is for a rail tour thing in alaska????? (not sure just a guess)

[muladybug]

We used the 10$ (dollars) internet credit and BOGOF glass of wine coupons.!:)

 

Are you saying that these coupons for internet & BOGO wine coupons were in the new book....or did you redeem these from an old coupon book?

[SherriZ366]

I will be miffed if the free Johnny Rockets coupon has been discontinued. I never order a milk shake, so a milk shake coupon does nothing for me.

Looks like it is discontinued in the new book. And the cover charge may now be $4.95.

[gagirl7143]

WE were on the Nav trans at well and we got the old books for D/D+ and while i was unpacking our room attendent came in and took the old ones back and gave us the NEW ones. They SUCK!!!!! excuse me please. We were told that these new ones are only temporary and more new ones will come after 1 Sept!

[Merion_Mom]

*is*

[GlenandVal]

ok I guess no Johnny s for me in january I thought it may be a treat for my mom and family but guess not wow

 

last fall on our Alasdka trip we had a free cocktaail and got to keep the glass which I loved now this o well I will go for the crusie and the booklet is a waste of paper now

 

I will not be cancelling as we did get a great deal on our cruise

[Clamett]

No free pulls in the casino? :confused:

[megr1125]

nope...they yanked those..even the prize ones, from the books we had in Feb on Ex.....

 

WOW and art auction credit...whoopty doo

 

no more JRs...if i want a shake i will get it to go..

 

lemme see if i have some nickels and dimes around...

[bluecookies]

$4.95 each for two people to go to JR = $9.90

 

Plus a by one get one milkshake $4.95

 

So if that is all you wanted, it would cost $14.85 for two milkshakes.

 

Royal Caribbean is definitely delivering that WOW factor to me.

BUT you can just get a shake to go and not pay the cover.....!

I hope they still have some like you received when I get there. They can keep the new books.

I don't even drink wine. :(

I don't need a fake tattoo. :D

I don't drink milk shakes, :rolleyes:

I would not go to an art action for all the tea in China. ;)

Need I say more? :mad:

 

Thanks OP for posting it though. ;)
