Host Jacquelyn Posted June 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I recall in the past kids were not entitled to Diamond or D+ perks, but recent threads make it sound like kids are now able to get these perks. My D+ teens would love free Cokes and internet days. Are these benefits extended to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently on the Quantum, and I will get a copy and post it to this thread. They will get drink vouchers for non-alcoholic drinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OCSC Mike Posted June 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2022 My 8 and 12 year-old nieces made great use of their Diamond drinks to order virgin daiquiris and pina coladas on Harmony last week. I took the 12 year-old to get a drink (and a real one for myself) several times...then I was stuck tipping for her. 😠🤣 I was trying to be a good uncle at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted June 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2022 My 9 year old niece will be getting the same benefits as me and my parents, who are Emerald and Platinum respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolloman Posted June 11, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Royal now recognizes children as 12 and below. My daughter was a D+ for most of her below 12 and below years. It was not until she turned 13 did she start getting the full D+ benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted June 11, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted June 11, 2022 That's amazing!! I will be sailing with one over 12 and one under 12. They will be so excited if they can get D+ drinks and especially internet 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic came up a while back and it started well but quickly turned sour. Before the day was out posters wanted bar staff to walk the plank for even considering it. My read of it is that some people have said they have done it but most say it’s not possible. Kids vouchers for soft drinks only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted June 11, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I would say that you could use your kids' vouchers for coffee, mocktails or soft drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to read a comment from someone saying firsthand they did it. So I’m doubtful that this is something that is more than a very rare situation. One certainly shouldn’t plan on it and make beverage package decisions based on getting alcoholic drinks using their kids Diamond drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your daughter get the free photo that comes with D+ or the free bag of laundry for example? I’ve never seen these as a benefit for non adults.

There is one set of benefits for all kids regardless of age. They do not get the photo or laundry. I think the confusion was Royal added a few additional benefits in 2019 (4 free non alcoholic drinks) for all guests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal did expand the kids benefits in 2019 to include some extra offers but all kids regardless of age get the same benefits. Kids (12 and under)are only classed separately for the purpose of KSF other than that they are all kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe many felt the adults who asked a staff member to risk their job to serve a minor is what was wrong. Everything except alcohol is fair game, Including smoothies from the oasis class ship spas. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesn’t work. Do you ever think about what you are teaching your kids? You’re showing them that cheating and lying works and that you’re putting the bar server in an awkward position. You know that they’re trying to be good workers and to be liked by the guests…they have a conscience too. Kids pick up on how their parents behave and take the path of least resistance. When your kids are older teenagers and if caught cheating and/or lying, I hope you take a look in the mirror and blame the person you see. What made you think that lying and cheating works..you learned it from someone…try to break the cycle. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
