M8 Agree, let the drinks flow any where on the ship from 5 - 8pm. Excellent idea! Anyone second the Theory? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll wait until @John&LaLa gets back. 😇 M8 After all the DL suggestions I have started a CL/SL topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL were being changed to SL prior to this pandemic and I suspect all will be SL on the return to sailing. It would make sense to make the SL only for suites and add a P lounge somewhere, but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carried 4 glasses to Giovanni's. 🍾 Well done! I would have spilled mine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always enjoy the DL (no matter the time of day or evening and over the CL) on the ships we've been on and the time frame of 3.5 hours (not the 3 hours you are suggesting 👎). That way we can enjoy a couple of drinks and a snack in the DL before diner and a few more in the MDR (MTD) during our meal and/or after diner before the show in the theater.

As far as discussing tips with all those you speak to, that is baffling unless you are doing an unofficial poll of a small segment of a sailing. We don't discuss tips and never will. We use our three vouchers in whatever venue we are in each night and do not think three is strange. We each give a card for our drink as does those we have sailed with. It's a common fact that tipping (not speaking of rounding up bills etc) is not part of most cultures. Cruiselines are facing issues especially in Europe or Australia that passengers are even removing the auto gratuites. If you observe / talk to crews you would know that this is the reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People remove auto gratuities whether the ship sails from Europe, Australia or the US. I am not going to go round and round on the assumptions that were posted. Unless someone stands at guest services and asks why people are there, no one knows if they are removing gratuities or dealing with another issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, now I understand why. What about if we leave the DL open and allow drinks from 5 - 8 or 830pm using your card at any bar? I don't care if it is only drinks on the current DL list or other. My logic here is it would reduce some of the traffic in the DL early during the evening. I'm all for the card being used during those hours. Thanks for your reply. Stay Safe!

You currently can use your C&A HH drinks during the HH at any bar/lounge, dining venue and theater. Way above my pay grade to speculate any changes to the C&A program. I'll leave the logistics to RC "if" any changes are to be made to the C&A top three tier perks/benefits. We're just along for the ride and enjoy the perks/benefits. Right now we're cool with the current C&A system and haven't seen (read) anything official from RCG even suggesting any possible C&A changes when cruising resumes. 'If" any C&A changes are to be made we'll adjust accordingly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait for the day when the ships get rid of tips and just add in the cost to the cruise fare. Then we can go back to arguing about important stuff - like who gets to visit the DL.
