Yes, all ships now provide the 3 drink vouchers for every guest that is Diamond level or higher in C&A.

Thanks Clarea...I thought this but thought best to double check....my mother in law is away tomorrow and I'd hate to advise her misinformation ;-) means she can enjoy a drink with her non diamond+ companion!

How about non-alcoholic frozen drinks for Diamond members? Also I guess I am slow but are the 3 drinks for the day? the week? or the entire trip?. Are there non-alcoholic drinks in the Diamond lounge especially frozen coffee drinks? Sailing Independence for first time on Royal in a long time thus not experienced in what my Diamond status from Celebrity and Azamara is getting me.:o

You get 3 drinks per day, and they cannot be accumulated, so every day you start over with 3 drinks. They cannot be used for frozen or blender drinks.

Our experience trying to use the 3 drinks on your card on the Liberty in December was not very good :(

We were told no Cosmos or Margaritas in the bars. In the Diamond Lounge, there were no problems obtaining them.

You need a system. :D We spread the wealth with cash tips at a couple of bars on embarkation day so they know our drink. They do remember. During cocktail hour, we'll return and see if they offer our regular on the vouchers. Some will bite and some won't. When we find one that will, he/she is tipped well for the rest of the cruise.

Three free drinks per day each day of the entire cruise in any of the bars and lounges (not in the dining room) during the cocktail hours. Unlimited drinks in the Diamond Lounge during those hours. I don't believe that frozen drinks, with or without alcohol, are available in the Diamond lounge but that may depend on the bar setup in the lounge

No frozen or blender drinks in either CL or DL.

Exactly. We grease the skids with a cash tip on the first free drink and in no time, the bartender is making us anything we want on the vouchers. :D

[cawi78]

What size of cash tip would be appropriate in such circumstances when getting 2 drinks? Thanks

We usually tip $1 per drink.

[Mark42]

I agree on cash tips to a friendly bartender.

It works wonders re. using the drink vouchers.

We used this on our last 2 cruises, and "our" bartender was waiting for us each evening.

[Sascol]

is this three drinks per DAY between those hours or three drinks per CRUISE?

[Clarea]

Per day.

[Langley Cruisers]

Per day.

Haha, what you all don't know is that clarea is really in the adjoining room and we race each other all the time! LOL!

Isn't it automatically expected to tip for the 3 free drinks..just like you would tip in the DL?

I don't know if it's expected, but I think it's a nice gesture.

I agree...I'd feel funny getting a free drink and not tipping something.

[tserface]

There is no requirement, but it is very common place. I've seen lots of people tipping $1 per drink. I typically just carry some ones around in my pocket for those types of occasions. I figure we're getting about $20 free drinks per round so a couple of $$$ is a pretty fair trade. If I go to the bar to get a drink or pick one off a tray I don't tip.

 

Our experience has been that once you tip the first time the waiter remembers you and always comes around to help.

 

We've had some great conversations with DL servers over the week and often tip extra if the same person is there all week (or often) and they've made our trip more enjoyable. We still come out way ahead over buying the drinks :rolleyes:

We always tip cash on the voucher but my point was to cash tip on the purchased drinks beforehand to lay the ground work. Make sure they know your name and you know theirs. ;)
