I did enjoy having the coffee added to my sea pass and it really wasn't necessary. Every time I went into the lounge for coffee there really wasn't a long line. Maybe 2 or 3 passengers ahead of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been mentioning this benefits since it was introduced. We do not generally enjoy the lounges (in the evenings) and were thrilled when the vouchers were added to our cards. Three is one or two too many for us and we have no complaints. Then of course the benefit was increased to allow the vouchers to be used in dining venues. We often have late dining so we can’t use the drinks in the dining room, but every now and then we select my time dining and can use the benefit. And, now on some ships, those who enjoy a frozen drink can use two swipes for a frozen drink. (One swipe for the virgin version and one swipe for the alcohol). I’ve never been on a sailing that had a coffee swipe for my card. That would be great though, because sometimes the lounge machines are either broken or don’t have decaf enjoy m PS, while I was not privy to the meetings that created the voucher decision, I suspect the original conversation was to give guests vouchers instead of them going to the lounge. Wonder if RCCL imagined that some might enjoy unlimited cocktails in the lounge, and then additionally use vouchers for three drinks ( alcohol or not) for after happy hours or the next day. Guests are creative. m Edited January 28, 2020 by cruisegirl1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why people are getting upset because both lounges serve the exact same thing. The Pinnacles who were on board were going down to the Diamond Lounge because it was dead in the suite lounge. Not sure why some folks are getting upset.

The drink vouchers occurred late 2013 into mid 2014 if I remember right. I remember stalking CC as we had a Northern TA in Sept 2014 on the Brilliance and were hoping they’d get the vouchers before we went on it. If I remember right we got the email about the vouchers just a couple weeks before the sailing and we were so excited. It was a HUGE deal back then and everyone was continually reporting when ships were going live with the voucher program. It was probably one of the biggest things that happened to the C&A program since they decided to make Diamond Lounges in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
