cello56 Posted November 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Does anyone know if 18 year olds get Diamond Plus benefits on board? For example do they get the five drinks per day? (Obviously virgin ones!) What about the two days of free wifi? Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinCruise Posted November 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Rumor has it - yes to drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Yes, all ages get the drinks and wifi. If they're under alcohol age on a given ship, they won't be able to use their vouchers for alcohol, but can get sodas, powerade, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted November 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Is this new that they can get the drinks? Only 18+ maybe? Before the pandemic it was super hit or miss depending on the Loyalty Ambassador/ship. I have a now 14 year old who qualifies for sometime now for Diamond Plus on her own, and some ships she was given full benefits and some they would only give her the crappy kid benefits. She would love a free photo and free non-alcoholic drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your parents no longer have access to your number, and you gain points on your own. If you are Diamond Plus, than you get all Diamond plus benefits as an adult on the ship. That includes 5 free drinks, and depending on local rules (USA or Europe or Asia etc) that would mean either real drinks or virgin ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2cruise23 Posted November 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2021 So kids under the age of 18 can get soda or virgin drinks from their selective status? Or is this only for those over 18 years of age? Just curious as I will cancel the soda package if my teens get four free drinks a day. Thanks for the clarification.

Youth letter from Allure in 2021 in this post: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2615839-crown-and-anchor-onboard-offers-all-levels-including-youth-allure/?do=findComment&comment=62024394 I don't know if C&A has a bottom age limit for benefits through parent relationship status. You can email them and ask. I do know someone who is D+ with kids that have single digit ages and they have stated their kids recently received five drink vouchers for non-alcoholic beverages. Would an infant or toddler? Don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2cruise23 Posted November 17, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Really appreciate this twangster! My kids are young teens and this is new from our last pre-COVID cruise. We were going to get the soda package for them since it’s a holiday cruise, but this means we won’t need it. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted November 17, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 17, 2021 This is a great upgrade! Hope it's on all ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 17, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The minor drinks were added at the end of July. I don't know if that was immediately rolled out to all ships or it was staggered across the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzano Posted November 20, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'm Diamond level and taking my nephew (age 19) on his first cruise in March. We're sharing a room so will he also get the 4 drinks loaded on his card daily as well as any other Diamond perks? I sail mostly on Celebrity where that's allowed. It's been 5 years since I sailed on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it should be. However you can share your 4 daily drinks with him. Edited November 20, 2021 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted November 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Reports are that an adult with an under age person can get alcoholic drinks using the under aged person vouchers. So you can use theirs for expensive drinks and pay for their juice and sodas. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
