Grandma Dazzles Posted August 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I received an e-mail from RCI about 3 complimentary drinks per day. Has anyone done this on there cruise. We leave on the Legend on the 3rd of Nov.Thank you in advance, David H There have been several threads and lots of comments on this. There are three complimentary drinks loaded on your Sea Pass card. These can only be used during the normal diamond/concierge lounge cocktail hour - usually around 5:00 to 8:30 each evening. The drinks are in addition to the free drinks available in the lounges. You do not have to use them in the lounges - they operate as usual. The drinks cannot be used in any dining location, just in the bars. They are limited to standard cocktails, wine, beer - no frozen blender drinks. Makes it easier if you are traveling with anyone who does not have access to the lounges.

Clarea Posted August 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Can they be used in the casino? Royal says they can be used in every bar and the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted August 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Royal must have sent a lot of emails today. My thought exactly! ;):D I got mine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted August 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) My thought exactly! ;):D I got mine too. As they roll this out to each ship, anyone with an upcoming cruise on a ship that will have the coupons in effect for the first time at the time of their sailing is receiving them. It is expected that by sometime in the fall all ships will have them in effect, so the "news" regarding the email should stop. I guess its human nature but it is interesting that with as many active threads about this that are on this board that new ones still get posted announcing it. :) Edited August 23, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ Posted August 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Royal says they can be used in every bar and the theater. Do you think it will include the Rising Bar on Oasis? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Dazzles Posted August 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I guess we will find out for sure soon, but Royal has not listed any exceptions to the bars in which the vouchers can be used. Agree. However, on the Oasis in July I could not use in the bar directly outside the main dining room (deck3). We were a little early for dinner and sat in the waiting area and I decided to get a glass of wine and then take it into dinner when the doors opened. Bar tenders told me they did not accept the coupons - they were considered the "dining room." Wasn't a big deal, but I remembered on future nights and just got a glass of wine in the Schooner bar or Dazzles and took to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it might just have been "early days" of the program - bar tender was very nice - said his computer was programmed as "dining room" - where the waiters came to get drinks for the tables; so perhaps it may change, but it made sense and I didn't push or argue. It was nice to use the vouchers in other bars and take a glass of wine to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted August 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Do you think it will include the Rising Bar on Oasis? :confused: I don't see why the Rising Tide would be excluded. Other than the fact that it moves it really isn't different from any other bar on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
