AidenandCasensMommy Posted November 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Do they still offer this for past cruisers? I'm thinking it was a coupon in the fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Bucki Posted November 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It is my understanding that now the free drink is only for Platinum and above to be used at the Seaday brunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted November 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Do they still offer this for past cruisers? I'm thinking it was a coupon in the fun times. The free drink during sea day brunch is a platinum and diamond perk. The coupon is at the bottom of the P&D letter left in the stateroom. Gold cruisers get the coupon for a free last day (evening) drink. Edited November 1, 2016 by evandbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at the VFIP benefit chart and did not see where Golds get the free drink, I think they did away with that perk and now you get a bottle of water. Sorry after a second look the Gold level does get the free drink coupon. Edited November 1, 2016 by Ohio Bucki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted November 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Though it may not always work, if you frequent a certain bar, and get to know the bartender, you may be able to use the coupon at that bar. I have on 2 out of 3 legs of my Vista cruises I'm on at the moment. I totally forgot about the coupon on the middle leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "free drink on last night" is to partially soothe the ruffled feathers of the Golds. This is different from the guest appreciation party which took place on the last day of the cruise in the late afternoon where free drinks were offered for an hour.

The "free drink on last night" is to partially soothe the ruffled feathers of the Golds. And the best party to go to, IMO, is the Captain's Invitation to Diamond cruisers. Very relaxing, exquisite service in a much smaller gathering and venue. Can have interesting conversations with various department head officers, as well as the Captain. My opinion of course, is biased by the fact that I don't drink alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got to enjoy it one time since I reached gold before DH did! 😭 Bummer I know how you feel...we reached Gold and got to go to ONE party. A couple months after we reached Gold, they took it away. :( We're only about 25 days (or maybe another year and a half,depending on how things go) from Platinum and of course, before we reach Platinum they're gonna change things or add another tier and we'll be screwed.

CeleBrat Posted November 2, 2016 #20 Share Posted November 2, 2016 As a Platinum, I would much rather have the "Free drink on your last night" coupon", as we don't really enjoy the Sea Day Brunch, and I'm not one to want to have an alcoholic drink that early in the day. Actually, I'm not sure why any of the coupons are so restrictive. As long as you're only getting (1) coupon for a free drink, why does it matter when it's used?

TrqoisWtrs Posted November 2, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 2, 2016 as we don't really enjoy the Sea Day Brunch I don't usually go either, but I'll walk down and snag a waiter at the door and give him my free drink coupon. They'll bring it out to you. I remember a few times they've had a bloody mary cart at the entrance, so you could make up your own delicious concoction right there.

Pellaz Posted November 2, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Golds get the water on every cruise. The free drink the last night is for longer cruises. --And not surprisingly, that free drink can't be any kind of "special" drink, either. I was hoping I could score a drink in a whaletail funnel using the coupon, but nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that supposed to soothe anyone? It honestly just made me more angry when I was Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
