Rare rrraydon Posted July 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I called C&A to have some things updated on my C&A profile today. My wait time was only about 10 minutes and I was so lucky with the person who answered; I wish I had gotten her name. Most probably know this already, but I did not and I'm happy the rep was so informative. I was able to change my Diamond gift from sodas to alcoholic beverages now that I'm Diamond Plus. There was quite a few choices to choose from. Additionally, the list of cabin gifts to choose from was VERY lengthy! I chose the RC beach towel as my gift, but they were out of stock so I just went with the fruit basket and cheese plate. There was also champagne, various wines, truffle plate, chocolate covered strawberries, RC slippers......the list goes on (there were so many I lost track-it was over a dozen options)....I was impressed with the amount of options! If you don't call each time before a cruise to change your selection, you will get the same each time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, she just read them all out to me over the phone. I finally had to interrupt her and say "I'll just take to towel" because I didn't think the list would ever stop and I was starting to forget what she had already said! 🤣 Edited July 9, 2022 by rrraydon sp 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted July 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Glad you had a positive experience. Be aware that many of the gifts are not available on board. Supply issues. If what you chose is not available, they offer a substitute. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change it up for every cruise by just calling. Every time you change it up it will remain that way for every cruise until you call again and change it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did offer to mail me the towel instead of me receiving it as a gift onboard but I just chose a basket to be delivered while onboard instead. I've never booked a suite on RC. What is the happy hour perk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
