That is undeniably true, but then the term pineapple wouldn't be racists, just age discriminatory. Either way, I think Troy is just making it up....

marfl Posted January 26, 2018 #758 Share Posted January 26, 2018 My guess, and only a guess, before Royal kicks anyone out of DL, they will first limit drinks to 3, period. This should free up some lounge space. This is a cost savings for Royal and easier on the general population of Diamonds then kicking them out. Less PO’d people. If this doesn’t free up Space then it will be easy to leave drinks at 3 limit. Look at Royals financial numbers. Nobody is leaving because of price increases and reduction of FREE perks. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Doesn't matter with us. We have a couple of drinks at the DL. We like to go there to socialize with people. So if the limit the drinks is okay.

irenesolo Posted January 27, 2018 #764 Share Posted January 27, 2018 What makes you think "most" people get the drink packages? I usually cruise with large groups, and there are only a handful of people in each group that buy the drink packages. WOW! Stereotype much? How exactly do you know what all diamonds "usually do?" While there may be some who are smug, and some who brag about how little they spend, there are PLENTY who don't use the diamond lounges, always book balconies or higher, purchase drinks and excursions, etc. Try spending time at any bar on the ship any time of the day. The bars are 3 deep with passengers waiting for service from inadequate over taxed staff trying hard to keep up. Listen to the number of people asking what is covered in one package or another. Whether or not you have the drink package you are impacted by the poor choices and overcrowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go on a cruise to enjoy the ship and ports not to get drunk.The last cruise we had the free drinks package and the only difference was we had a glass of prosecco at lunchtime in windjammer and my wife had a pina colada while sitting in the shade around the pool while i was in the gym.

4774Papa Posted January 27, 2018 #767 Share Posted January 27, 2018 We have enjoyed the Celebrity elite happy hour for several cruises and find ordering more drinks not to be a problem.

Agree. We never do the drink package...it would be overkill for us. We typically bring on our allowed two bottles of wine on a 7 day cruise. Comped wine already waiting on ice in our cabin on check in. A glass of wine in the cabin while getting ready for dinner, and glass on the balcony during the afternoon on sea days. And always our favorite tradition...a glass on the balcony to celebrate sail away on embarkation day. A few drinks celebrated with like minded friends in the CL/DL before dinner. Social hour, always a good time. Many times we have taken our wine back off the ship, since this whole set up is pretty much more than we need.
