critterchick Posted August 15, 2010 #26 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Not if there are two friends cruising together......then you get 2 per cabin....... I roomed with another DP (a friend) and we only got one amenity. And if I cruise with DH we only get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted August 15, 2010 #27 Share Posted August 15, 2010 That's very nice but fruit is something you usually find on the ship anyway and some cruise lines even have fruit sent to your cabin upon request (I think it's either Princess or HAL). Quite - but I was just answering the OP's question ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted August 15, 2010 #28 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Why do I keep hearing FOS has less ammenities because of the hotel manager? If true, why does RCCL let her/him get away with this? Sure he/she saves some money but it does damage the brand as far as consistency goes. Most companies would not tolerate this. I keep reading that, too. FOS was the only ship where my kids couldn't get a Shirley Temple with the soda card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too but when they sent us one on our last cruise it was very convenient and nicely presented and it did get eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjb317 Posted August 15, 2010 #31 Share Posted August 15, 2010 On our last cruise in June on the Enchantment, the C&A desk called about 3 weeks before to ask us what we wanted for our D+ amenity, we took the wine truffles. We also received a plate of chocolate strawberries one evening, I think the card said from the hotel director. And another day, we received 4 red velvet cupcakes with a note from the LA. My husband loved all of this as he is a chocolate fiend and since I hate chocolate, it was all for him! Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted August 15, 2010 #32 Share Posted August 15, 2010 D/D+ amenity: On our recent Grandeur cruise we received one plate of petits fours with a note addressed to both of us and mentioning our D/D+ status (I'm D, he's D+) We are not married so have different last names, but just got one plate for both. His son is D and was in a separate cabin and also received a plate of petits fours with a note. On previous cruises it's been hit or miss. One time we got chocolate covered strawberries with a note from the loyalty ambassador. Other times, nothing. D+ special amenity: In addition to the "random" D/D+ amenity of strawberries or petits fours (or cheese plate, apparently), if you are D+ you can also pre-order a beach towel, tote bag, wine, etc. ( Others have posted a more detailed list of what's available.) Since only my BF is D+, so far we've only been able to order one D+ amenity. But I would think that when I hit D+, we'll each be able to order our own. Time will tell....

Host Kewlguy Posted August 15, 2010 #33 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Unless the rules have changed recently it's always been one Diamond Plus amenity per stateroom. We've never received two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice M Posted August 15, 2010 #34 Share Posted August 15, 2010 For our first diamond+ gift I chose the fruit basket and it was great, but to much. And you can just about get fruit any time on the ship. This was a B2B cruise so we had chose the fruit twice. We don't drink so the wine was out and I thought the tote bag was like the ones we received as our C&A gifts. For the next cruise I chose the tote bag and its great. I will get a few more of those.

negc Posted August 15, 2010 #36 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Guess Im just the exception:p Perhaps it was because you were sailing with a friend who was at the same C&A level as you and was entitled to the amenity on her own. Had it been Dennis and you, you might only have received the one. You know what they say about the exception proving the rule.:D And since when has RCI been known for its consistency in observing its rules?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagsalong Posted August 16, 2010 #48 Share Posted August 16, 2010 PH8, I thought I read somewhere that we would get two amenities at the 49+ level. Yes, No? One from the 24+ list, one from the 49+ list???? We will finally be at 49+ by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can select two from either the 24 list or the 49 list or one from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
