cruisegirl1 Posted June 22, 2014 #76 Share Posted June 22, 2014 You can do it many ways, whatever suits you. Cash with each drink. Cash at the end of the cruise. Go to Guest Services, ask for the gratuities form. There is a space where you can write "bar servers in the Diamond Lounge" and write a dollar amount. That amount will be charged to your SeaPass account, and the staff will get the money. :) guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! Personally, we tip cash with each drink. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobal Posted June 22, 2014 #78 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Does anyone know how these coupons work with the drinks package. When we sail with our sons - which we will do on Oasis in August - we usually buy them the beer package. If they want a drink which isn't included in that package (eg a gin and tonic at 7pm) will there be a conflict using a coupon which is preloaded on the card, when there is already a drinks package loaded on there :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a word to the bar server when ordering a non-package drink to remind them about coupons. Edited June 22, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted June 22, 2014 #80 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I just called the C&A D+ number, and was told the rollout would be complete by 9/14/14. I am on the Vision on 7/26 and 7/31, so I will keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone reports the Vision has started with the vouchers. Otherwise, I will report back from the ship when onboard. Thank you to the OP for starting this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robandana Posted June 22, 2014 #86 Share Posted June 22, 2014 They trialled the voucher system months ago on a few ships but it's now going fleet wide. So you did have the vouchers on the radiance?

panoramaofthepast Posted June 22, 2014 #88 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I do not believe that she was correct. There has always been a list of available liquors/drinks in the DL & CL. They are not changing that. They are only changing WHERE those drinks are available. You could not get Guiness before. You still won't be able to. You could not get virgin or alcoholic blender drinks before. You still won't be able to. You can get a can of soda. I did so many times. I have seen a sign in Diamond Lounges that indicate the 25% off rule. She just confirmed it. We'll see.

Rare orville99 Posted June 22, 2014 #94 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It will be done by 9/14/14 for all ships. A) There is no way to know a hard implementation date - so your guess is as good as anyone's on that point, but more importantly B) your guess is completely tangential to the purpose of the OP's thread, which was to chronicle the implementation as it occurs ship-by-ship, however C) not nearly as tangential as the discussion of which drinks can be served where, whether to tip, whether the lounges will disappear, etc. As I said in the title of my post - I know expecting any topic to stay on point on CC is futile, but just once could we at least try:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in short, you have nothing constructive to add to the Original Post, only an "end date" quoted to you by a C&A rep. We all know how accurate their information is. Next time you're on the phone with your source, can you find out when the change will be implemented on Enchantment? We're on her in four weeks, and it would be really nice if you could tell us whether we will have coupons. (Which is essentially the reason why the OP posted in the first place - so people cruising before some mythological "fall roll-out" actually was completed would have some idea what to expect when they boarded.)

SherriZ366 Posted June 23, 2014 #100 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Any suggestions on how to tip servers in the lounges for the daily 3 free drinks. I guess cash but can you ask for a barslip where you can fill in a tip to be charged to your seapass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
