Alcohol isn’t a part of my life. Not a judgment in any way, just a fact. I do enjoy a few drinks on a cruise. Guess it is something you could work on accepting 😉 Edited April 30, 2022 by AlohaLivin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, it did seem odd for someone to care if I didn’t want a very strong cocktail 👍🏼 Edited April 30, 2022 by AlohaLivin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to continue to encourage their most faithful cruisers as the industry recovers. I concur completely - the D, D+ and P's are continuing to book, sail, and re-book. Don't mess with your loyal clients at this time. If you want to help us out - get rid of the pre-cruise testing! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted April 30, 2022 #59 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just wondering where the evidence of the changes for drinks is coming from? Is this someone on board? Is it from a TA? Is it something a crew member said? Where did this originate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted April 30, 2022 #62 Share Posted April 30, 2022 What I am curious about is why the mods don't close these threads down. Why let this nonsense continue? Perhaps they could create a speculation area and move all this junk there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted April 30, 2022 #63 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I suspect with new voucher system some of the D/D+/PC members might be a bit more visible to relative newbies on the ships. Rather than sequestered for happy hour drinks in our own loyalty lounges, more of us are now out and about in various venues, each time potentially striking up conversations any random cruiser. If Royal Caribbean is doing things well, how wonderful for them to have top tier loyalty members potentially extolling the line’s virtues or telling tales of wonderful cruises while happily sipping specialty coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening while chatting with newbies. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a member of hotel group loyalty programs and they drop you back down levels when you don’t use them within a set time, like annually. Funny you should mention this. I am a member of Hilton Honors and one day I received a letter and some gifts in the mail saying I was a Diamond Member for Life. I didn't even know they had such a level. I asked what I had done to achieve such a milestone and they told me that you had to reach Diamond level 10 years in a row. That's when I decided I needed to retire and get off the road!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think where I see a problem is with misleading subjects.

But we have met some good pax at the various locations. 🙂 Yes we do tend to chat it up...mostly Bucky, but a lot of it is cutting up with the bartender and his mates. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted April 30, 2022 #73 Share Posted April 30, 2022 On 4/27/2022 at 8:24 PM, John&LaLa said: If anything, I guess they could remove lounge coffee machines and force you into using vouchers for morning coffee I do that now because there is generally no decaf in the machine. On Harmony one bean container (in D lounge) is labeled decaf but I am told both containers are regular coffee. No decaf in machine in SL. I like the speciality coffee at cafe promenade. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted April 30, 2022 #74 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I love the daily vouchers program and hope that it never ends. It is without a doubt my favorite Royal Caribbean perk. I like not having to go to a loyalty lounge for a drink, I like being able to order what I want, I like being able to use them anytime of the day, I like being able to apply the $13 to a more expensive glass of wine, I like that they can be used on Labadee and Coco Cay and I like that I can use it for a specialty coffee or even a bottle of water if I choose. m 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
