pink845 Posted September 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Going to be a Diamond member after my next Cruise, with regards to the three free drinks, can I consume them any time during the day at any bar or do I have to drink between 5 and 8 pm. Also, does one get three free drinks each day of the cruise or is it three free drinks to be used sometime during the 7 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted September 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The three free drinks are loaded on your Seapass card. They are available daily. They are not cumulative; if you don’t use one day, you lose. Drinks are available the same time that free drinks are served in the Diamond Lounge. Time varies from ship to ship, but approximately 5:00 to 8:30 each evening, whatever the DL cocktail hours are on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three drinks per day, to be ordered during the same 3.5 hour period that the Diamond Lounge is holding their complimentary drink period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink845 Posted September 16, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Can I use the three free drinks at the pool bar or in the dining room during the 5 to 8:30 pm period as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted September 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Can I use the three free drinks at the pool bar or in the dining room during the 5 to 8:30 pm period as well. Pool bar - yes. All bars, as a matter of fact, except the Bionic Bar (there aren't many of these; limited to a few ships) and the Rising Tide Bar on Harmony and Symphony. Dining room - depends on the ship. Some allow it, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Can I use the three free drinks at the pool bar or in the dining room during the 5 to 8:30 pm period as well. Yes on the pool bar. Possibly in the dining room, that is not a consistent policy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare chrismch Posted September 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Do they count your drinks while in the Diamond Lounge or is it open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator23 Posted September 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2018 If I have the drink package, can I use my three free drinks for someone else? In other words, if I want to buy my SIL a glass of wine, and use my drink package for me, can I do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted September 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Pool bar - yes. All bars, as a matter of fact, except the Bionic Bar (there aren't many of these; limited to a few ships) and the Rising Tide Bar on Harmony and Symphony. Not sure the reasoning or if it was even true, but the in room perks letter on Anthem said the Northstar bar was excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted September 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Can I use the three free drinks at the pool bar or in the dining room during the 5 to 8:30 pm period as well. Just to add, you can also use the 3 free drinks in the theater if the show is during the Happy Hour (i.e. 7 pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillygirl2400 Posted September 16, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We're just off the Adventure. Unlimited drinks in the Diamond Lounge 4:30-8:00pm. Also, 3 drinks available for use on your seapass during the same timeframe (including dining room.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted September 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It's not always 5-8:30. It depends on early and late dining times. The happy hour starts 1/2 hour before early dining and stops when late dining starts. So, on a ship that dinner is at 5:30 and 8:30, then 5-8:30 is correct. On ships where dining is 5 and 8, then 4:30-8:00 is correct. And, they are strict about the times. So, just read the letter you'll receive in your cabin on boarding with the correct times listed and you'll be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCCC Posted September 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 16, 2018 My first time as diamond will be on my next sailing. A couple of questions: I usually drink 2 glasses of wine with dinner. Can I get 2 glasses from lounge or bar at once and take them to dinner? Also - what about specialty restaurants? Could I get my drinks there? or better to get them beforehand and carry them with me?

molly361 Posted September 16, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The letter that we got on the EN a couple of weeks ago said no sharing of the 3 drinks on your card. I don't recall ever seeing that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the ship. On Harmony, we were able to get our drinks in the dining room and at the specialty restaurants. We would also get the drink (or 2) from another bar and carry them into the restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early dining is 5:30, so I'm sorry but what you are posting may be true for some ships, but it is definitely not for all ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
