Diamond guests get four drinks per day, value up to $13, to be used any time and just about any place. Diamond plus get five drinks with the same restrictions. 
 

The drinks can be alcoholic or not. 
 

The program is quite generous and is generally considered a nice benefit

As diamond, 4 drinks are loaded to your sea pass. This is 4 per D member. 
D+ get 5 drinks loaded. 

 

max of $13 per drink. 

[retiredgram]

Diamond-- 4 drinks per day

Diamond plus-- 5 drinks per day

 

Drinks up to $13.   You pay difference if over $13. Never been charged for any difference. YMMV

Your daily drinks do not carry over to the next day. Use them or lose them.🍹

I thought there was a free bag of laundry during a cruise?  Or is that something just comes up and is open to all?

I believe D+ gets one free bag per cruise (5+ nights).

It is. Per person.

Bucky loves his glass of Oberon Cab at dinner...15.00.    We see a charge of 2.36 on our sea pass account, which is the 2.00 over plus charged tip (though we tip in cash on top of that).

The free D+ bag is for select articles only (underwear, socks, PJs, t-shirts, swimwear, shorts).  No pants, etc. but YMMV.

I’ve always sent whatever I needed to the laundry and never had a problem. That being said, I would never send anything that couldn’t survive extremely harsh washing and drying conditions…but to my knowledge there is no specific list of items that qualify for the D+ complimentary laundry service.

We have been on two RCI cruises and on both of them there was an offer of a bag of laundry (for underwear, socks, T-shirts, etc.).  Perhaps it was for a small amount, like $20?

Right, their standard laundry prices.  But it's probably closer to $30.

OMG....definitely no one would like to see what condition any dresses, dress shirts, dress slacks would turn out....coming out of the  "boil and fry" bag.  😮😉 

[Bronx12]

On Serenade of The Seas, May 2022, I believe a bag of laundry was $34.99

Sounds like something I can order at Fish N Ships on Indy next month.

Or on Ovation for free!

[cantgetaname]

So the free drinks are per day?  That's awesome.   

[neverbeenhere]

Yup, every day you are on the ship.

There most defiantly is a list of the wash and fold allowable items. It is the wash and fold form that you fill out indicating how many items on each allowable category. Socks, underwear, shorts, t shirts, PJ, swim suits (men’s swimsuits as a women’s suit will not survive) and I may be forgetting a category.  
 

The benefit is for wash and fold service, not true laundry service.

I have seen the list that Another Cruiser listed the items from. I have also put in other items (pants, capris and regular shirts) like you and never had a problem.

Absolutely!  🙂  

 

Cotton socks, cotton undies, exercise shirts/shorts.  Works very well!  Hand wash and hang dry the rest and or dry cleaning for the B2B and more trips.  I have my hand washing technique down pretty well now...my "sea day" chore.  😄

Aroma probably not as good as it goes into the "boiler".  😄

Yup, and for FYI to others as well:

 

The more detailed list they have hanging in the closet is not the free bag list .  Normally cabin attendant will give you that short list of items and bag around mid week...or you can ask for it.
