So you are saying that the cruise lines have learned nothing about what happens when you cram more and more people into a finite space. The sad thing is you may be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted April 23, 2022 #106 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I keep reading that it is ok to give your free drinks away. My dh and I just turned Diamond and we always get the drink package. My sister is cruising with us and I would like to give her our free drinks when she is with us, so just making sure that it is ok or not to bother. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our seats went empty as well. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were talking about the DL crammed with Ds and up previously, as to the subject of the thread. Sorry about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteway906 Posted April 24, 2022 #111 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Can anyone please tell me where the DL is on the Allure? I can't find it on the deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofer Posted April 24, 2022 #114 Share Posted April 24, 2022 This was our first cruise as Diamond members and had 4 drinks each on our vouchers. We never used all of them. If hubby wanted coffee, the Cafe Promenade had it. We're not big on specialty coffee. Yes, it was very handy everywhere. It took us 4 days to find the DL on deck 5. We must have passed it several times but it was unobstrusive among the other venues. Tried it 2 x prior to dinner and it was not crowded in the least, but there was spacing with the seating. The Diamond host, offered to set me up on the computer so I could sign in for our flight home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted April 24, 2022 #115 Share Posted April 24, 2022 So, on our Allure cruise in December, the DL was as crowded as ever and there was less people on board than in 2020 prior to Covid. So, I think the lounges are just as popular. I like the 5 drinks a day. It is better but I liked going to the DL and not having to pay attention and track my drinks. Now you worry, when you have a drink, how many have I had? How many has the SO had? I like the current system, but…. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted April 24, 2022 #117 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I try to leave my phone in the cabin, but am slowly realizing, it is essential. How did we survive back in the day? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the cheap satellite internet that lets Cruise Lines offer services through their app that they couldn't even 10 years ago, services which are pretty convenient, and hard to access otherwise.

happy cruzer Posted April 24, 2022 #125 Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 4/21/2022 at 8:48 AM, cruiseguy1016 said: The fine print at the bottom says that each benefit is one time use per cruise, per stateroom?? Also mentions coupons, do you get coupons? How do the benefits really work? Each Diamond member gets their own set? or is by room? The 50% off of two glasses of wine? Is that per Diamond and can that benefit be used multiple times like once a night? Noticed that on an older version of this letter it said "throughout the cruise" on each of the beverage discounts. I did a search and did not find much detail on any of the items except the vouchers. Can anyone provide details or point me to them. Thanks.
