With all the double points they are giving out there won’t be a lounge big enough for all of them 😊

Yes, you can use your vouchers. I just hated using my vouchers for a can of diet coke! So I would tell them to charge me for the coke, do not use a voucher. 

 

Good idea!  I am not a soda fan.  Water or iced tea are my go to drinks.... if they are not wine.  😉

Stacked like cord wood with the growing C&A numbers (really easy to make D at 80 points!) and the smaller built DL lounges now.  Ds, D+, and now Pinnies all in one room.  Ugh...no thanks...I will be happy to use my vouchers in other areas.  😉

Vouchers in DL is the key. Just LMP's now😉

I agree. We never really frequented the lounge because sometimes we would travel with people who were not D or D+. It’s nice now because you can gather at a bar with others who don’t have D status and still use your benefit.

I know with drink package if the package is 13 per drink you could order a 15 dollar glass of wine and pay the difference and tip , is it the same with vouchers?

I haven't been on Allure post-Covid, but was recently on Symphony in a Grand Suite.  I was disappointed that free suite drinks were only during Happy Hours, not from 11AM - 11 PM as they were pre-Covid on Allure.  

 

 

 

 

We were on the 10/31 Allure sailing in a Loft Suite.  A limited selection of beer, wine and soft drinks were free from 11 am to 11 pm.

Yes, someone posted that Allure was still doing this.

We ordered wine that was more than $13 per glass.  We were charged the  difference and 18% gratuity only on the difference as well.   (This was Allure Oct 31 sailing)

First time in a loft suite next year on the Allure . Since the drinks are free in the suite lounge , what amount is a reasonable tip for a beer or wine  and if i just get a couple of bottles of water . 

I dont drink much but will probably have a drink or two since they are included.

I always tip a dollar or two but most people do not tip from what I observed, I know tips are appreciated.

Was also in the SL on 10/31 Allure sailing. They had wines and beers 11 to 11, mixed drinks from 5-8pm. We tipped $1-2 per drink and my party were able to get doubles during happy hour with no problem. Also hardly anyone in the SL before 4:45 and after 8pm. I also agree that very few people were tipping.

[island lady]

I always bring on a pack of dollar bills.   And tip at least a dollar a drink in cash.  They appreciate the cash.  And they do remember who tips or not.  😉

@sandebeachThanks for reporting back! How was the concierge in Symphony? Were they able to book dining and entertainment pre-cruise?

I think the concierges were Ken and Norman. I had them help me book shows once aboard.
