Diamond drinks

[jamscckmc]

Haven't been on RC for a few years and I've been reading how crowded the Diamond lounges are.  I read on CC about the three drinks loaded daily on your card. Can you use them in the showrooms or only at the bars? If you get a drink in the DL do they take it off your card as one of your three drinks? Thanks!

Drinks in the DL do not count towards your total. 

 

The three drinks you can use during the 3 1/2 hour happy hour are available at most bars including in the theatre.

Nope, currently unlimited drinks in the DL during happy hour.

Thanks! So you can only get the three drinks during the happy hour time? Is there a minimum time between drinks like with the drink package? If you are at dinner during that time period can you get your drinks in the dining room?

Some ships allow you to get drinks from the dining room, some don’t.  Even the same ship from one cruise to another may have different policies.

 

No time limit between drinks on Royal.

 

Yes, the 3 drinks are during happy hour only.

There's no time limit between drinks when you have the BP or C&A drinks. Three drinks only during the C&A HH times. Varies ship to ship whether they will serve C&A drinks in the dining rooms.

I was on the Allure this past Sept. and the Diamond Lounge and was not the crowded, however I was on the Harmony a few months earlier and it was SRO and the over flow was sent to the Comedy Club with out any bar service.

So I can only get my free drinks during happy hour and no other time during the day? At any bar? Doing the 2 night Mariner to get my Prime status in the casino. Only need 54 more points for a free cruise.

Correct.  Some ships may have a bar (or two) where they don't honor the drink vouchers.

Thanks Bob. I've gotta get those 54 points in the casino!
