dappledumpling Posted September 12, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2021 you can use your vouchers at most bars including the one in the diamond lounge.....On our last cruise it was about 1/2 the time they used one of the vouchers. The rest it was like old times.. but for me 5 drinks (diamond plus) is all thats needed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new voucher program is better than the 2 hour open bar with crap selections. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasi11 Posted September 12, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I think at D+, 5 drinks a day is more than I need. With my husbands status, that gives us 10 drinks a day. More than enough and a great selection of choices and bars all day! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry that you are upset at just finding out about this, but it has been happening for more than three months now. And I am surprised that your link worked.

The C&A HH was for 3.5 hours and we always found a drink we enjoyed. But now we'll be able to get Sauvignon Blanc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by the fact that the liquor served was the lowest of the low end, my personal opinion of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually don't drink the liquor but I will have a shot of JD once in awhile. The DL beer and wine selections work for us. Cheers. 🍻🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer sauvignon blanc and I guess I can now have one with my vouchers . The only drinks I use to buy was Disaronna to sip watching the show, guess I can have one of those now too !

outtoseacruise Posted September 12, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The new way is better and you are allowed to select what you want and where you want it on the ship or CoCoCay. On my B2B last week I think I only used all 5 drinks on only 2 days. In October I will bump to Pinnacle and will get 6 drinks a day. I would rather be able to choose from everything under $13 compared to the old way of have a crappy selection over a short period of time each night. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedladies Posted September 12, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2021 On board anthem right now and loving the new drinks policy. Had a cocktail out on deck in the sunshine this afternoon, a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, currently relaxing in the schooner bar with a flavoured gin and tonic. Will then have a baileys to take back to the room with me. can’t say I miss being stuck in the crowded diamond lounge to get my drinks. If anything it’s making me rediscover all the bars on the ship 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedladies Posted September 12, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I was on last cruise as well, doing a B2B - I agree Daniel is great. And that’s the nice thing about the new drinks policy, can use it at the bar with the entertainment you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPNYGuy Posted September 12, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 12, 2021 you should still be able to use the suite lounge (if you book suites and the ships have one). I just got an email from out concierge about the happy hour in the suite lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted September 13, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I choose better wines and Malibu rum in the Diamond Lounge -- these were not on the available list before the shutdown. 5 drinks on our card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are suites only, going forward, we will be fine with vouchers and suite lounge 🙂. No more drink package 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted September 13, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have cruised with the new "my time" drinks and I loved it! Frozen drink by the pool at 1pm? Sure! Nice wine with dinner? Sure! Beer with lunch? Sure! My choice of alcohol? Belvedere, Grey Goose? Yes. No more NewAm martinis. Yay! This and eMuster are two great things the pandemic has done for us. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
