Questions Re: Diamond Plus Benefits Not Listed On C&A Page

[Bronx12]

We just turned Diamond Plus and we are wondering what perks we have. We looked up on the Crown & Anchor benefits page, but from what we have read so far, it was things we didn't see posted on there that we are wondering about. Here is what we know so far, maybe you could add to the list for us 🙂

Thanks in advance 🙂

 

5 drink vouchers per day

BOGO Dining - please confirm & clarify

Free bag of laundry - please confirm & clarify

Balcony discount amount - please confirm & clarify

Buy one specialty dining meal, get one free.  Must be used on Day One, and usually, Day Two, although some ships show flexibility.

 

Free bag of wash 'n' fold laundry.  Smallish plastic bag that you can stuff with underwear, shorts, t shirts, pjs.  Nothing that you care about.  They use HOT water and dryers, so if you usually hang-dry those clothes, do NOT put them in the bag!

 

 

It varies based on length of cruise and timing of booking.  

 

It's basically just $25 more than you were getting as Diamond.

 

Diamond Plus Balcony Discount When Booking More than 6 Months from Sailing Date:
$150* for sailings of 3-5 nights
$250* for sailings of 6-9 nights
$350* for sailings of 10+ nights

 

(if you book less than 6 months out, subtract $25, i.e., go back to Diamond level  😉 )

Many times when booking we don’t get a balcony discount because it can’t be used with another discount.  2 bookings yesterday were like this.  They used the higher discount.  So really I only get it about 50% of the time.  Not such a great perk.

Thanks for the replies, greatly appreciated 🙂

Great info...where can we find that info for both Diamond, Pinnacle and other classes?

These were from Adventure of the Seas, 6/12/2021.
 

The amount shown of credit towards an internet package is incorrect;. the correct amount is $25.99 for Diamond and $51.98 for Diamond Plus (i.e., the cost of a 24-hour onboard pass for SURF for 1x or 2x, depending on level).

In your cabin there should be a letter with the current offer's.

I  will say - we don't normally do specialty restaurants.  But when we do, we have always been able to book and pay the first day and actually go whatever day we want.

This was our D+ free drinks in our cabin on embarkation May 2019 on Independence of the seas.

Maybe someone who has sailed recently can update if they received theirs.

I had my bottle of champagne, cookies, beer, water in the cabin when we arrive on Freedom 2 weeks ago.  On Adventure had the same thing, just an extra bottle of Champagne and a 6 pack of Diet Coke since we get 3 gifts on a 7 nighter.

That is excellent news, thanks for the update.

This is something people don't always know about.  You have to call to set it up.  On our recent cruise we got 6 bottles of water and a nice bottle of wine.  During the cruise they also brought some little appetizers, but we didn't request those.

If you bookmark THIS LINK, you'll always have it available. 

Note that this takes you to the Singapore site... I've not found the same page on the USA version.

Except the discount amounts there are wrong. 🙂
