Rare tennislvr8 Posted December 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2018 On on our next cruise (Anthem of the Seas) we will be Diamond. I have always purchased the ultimate drink package. Since we will have access to drinks in the Diamond lounge and 3 drinks nightly (from 5-8), has anyone who was Diamond passed on the ultimate drink package? What are the hours of the diamond lounge?

Hours either 4:30 to 8:00 or 5:00 to 8:30. The 3 free drinks also follow the same times. Edited December 17, 2018 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted December 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2018 last couple of cruises saw some Diamond folks getting upset cuz their preferred drink was not on the 'Diamond list' at places like Schooner Bar ..... the bar tenders had a card of what was on the Diamond list . . .

Ohhhh, I assumed when it was open you had access to everything. Well that changes it for me. I will be getting the package then. I am sure I know the answer to this but can I use those free three drinks to give to someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the letters from the Diamond Concierge now expressly state that the 3 drinks are for your own personal use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Eight Posted December 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If you have the UDP, in some DL’s you may be served your alcohol of choice in addition to those on the Diamond List. We personally think the Vodka on Diamond List is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Symphony earlier this month we were asked a few times if we wanted our Diamond drinks as well as what we ordered with our package. Our answer was always no but this is was the first cruise where we were asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted December 17, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We just purchase the UDP and don't bother with the lounges. I thought that the posts about not removing beverages from the lounge on Rhapsody were funny. We went up to the Rhapsody lounge briefly on the first night to chat with friends, and I left the lounge several times to get a drink of choice from the Viking Crown bar and carry it back in to the lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July on Harmony, myself and my wife ordered our 3 each Diamond wines and had them served to our Daughter and son in law. We have the UDP they do not, nor are they Diamond. No one even blinked when we handled it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsambam Posted December 18, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I honestly just buy the couple extra drinks I may want and not do the package. Also I have bought the 10’drink card when they offer in about 3 or 4 th day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
