Tried on Anthem many times, but the answer is a flat no. Don't know which other class of specific ship allows the same. When was the last time you were denied a Diamond drink in the MDR during Diamond club hours on the Anthem? It seems this is the only ship anyone has said they were denied.

I will be boarding in a few hours, and will report on the current situation. "You never know." 😉 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted June 6, 2019 #28 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) On Anthem May 4 sailing and asked MDR waiter if I could use my D drink voucher. He said, 'as long as it's within D lounge hours'. So I ordered a Pinot Grigio (which I thought was on the list) and they brought it to me, without giving me anything to sign. Later, saw that it was charged to my SeaPass along with 18% gratuity. I asked why and someone told me, 'because the brand you ordered wasn't on the official list' (they served me Danzante). I told them, "I don't know what brand you served me: you told me I could use a voucher and I asked for a slip to sign and you declined to provide one." They did take it off but I didn't use my vouchers again in MDR. Not worth the trouble. (I am guessing that the drinks server filled the Pinot Grigio request with whatever they had available, then were told to charge me because it wasn't 'on the list'. They should have just told me that they could not fulfill my request.) I think Anthem MDR is still in the steep learning curve stage in regards to the D drinks menu.

For 10 $ the bartender will have amnesia and won't even take your card. That's the bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always order Pinot Grigio at dinner using my diamond drinks and never had a problem. I wonder if it’s just Anthem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’s just Anthem. I wouldn't be surprised as many have said they have been told 'no' on Anthem. If they are just starting to honor the coupons, there may be confusion. My server kept repeating, 'you must order during the D lounge hours'. So apparently that fact was impressed upon him. As I said I think they were stumped when they didn't have the right wine available so they substituted and charged me without giving me another option. They were very busy that night as well, adding to the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddycat Posted June 7, 2019 #34 Share Posted June 7, 2019 On our last 2 Anthem cruises (Nov. 2018 and May 2019) we were able to use our Diamond vouchers in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway... it is not completely "legal". Let's not get this wonderful benefit taken away by abusing it. Tatka, you are exactly right. It would not be the first time, benefits were taken away because of abuse and bragging about it here. We really enjoy the free drinks and would hate to see it end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted June 9, 2019 #45 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ordering from the dining room worked great for us. We had My Time Dining at 7:30, so we ordered a D+ glass of champagne and a diet coke every night. Never had a charge come through for it. Once you establish that you are using your coupons for the happy hour drinks, the waiter knows what to do. Just be clear you don't want premium brand alcohol.

Rare island lady Posted June 9, 2019 #47 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I walked into Jamie's with a left over half glass of wine from DL on Mariner. I asked if I could use the drink voucher in there for refill. Waiter happily ducked into a side room and came out with the bottle of wine to refill my glass. No swiping of card, no hassle. Very simple. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
