Such as a bottle of wine or cold drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted July 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2022 You can call in and select from the list .... however if they are out you may get something else. They are mostly out of non bottles of wine. Slippers look like hospital slippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted July 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Yes...and you can call the C&A in advance and choose your drink and your gift. There is a variety to choose from. I just did this a few weeks ago. I was only on hold for about 5 minutes before I was speaking to the rep. There are a variety of treats to choose from. I chose beer for my drink and as a treat I chose a fruit basket and cheese plate. Remember, whatever you choose, this will remain your gift choice on all future cruises until you call and change it again. I only say this for those who choose the towel or slippers as their gift...I mean who wants to continue to get a pair of slippers?

Rare rrraydon Posted July 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Someone posted the updated list to choose from on here somewhere recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beverage choice: water or soda (Emerald to Pinn) or beer (D+, Pinn) 2. The "gift" (D+, Pinn): slippers, towels, totes, wine, etc. Multiple selections based on 175, 340, 525 points and/or cruise length.

They were looking for someone to make them last I was told. I got the fruit truffles last time but a blogger claimed they ran out idk. That's why I said above few choices other than bottles of wine.

The totes are on the 525 pts list, not low level diamond plus. Idk and I got 3 of these cheap plastic totes I heard were leftover from adventure ocean ... wasnt what I expected. I gave 2 of them to a 6 year old. Maybe it's the 340 pts list but not the low level diamond plus. And some wines I read on the blog are being switched. I asked for truffles and got a bottle of champagne lol. Gave that away too. Edited July 29, 2022 by firefly333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The welcome beverage is for Emerald and above. I suspect the OP was asking about Diamond+ amenity whether or not they used the “correct “ term. Maybe I misunderstood.

I asked for the towel orginally and she told me they were out of stock and could put me on a list to mail it to me rather than have it on the ship. I declined. I'd be waiting on it til doomsday...like the crystal blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited my post after you quoted. 🙂 The totes are at 340. The LA on Enchantment offered the "good" tote as a substitute for the beach towel, even though I was <340. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on the same ship last week and asked the LA about the towels and was told to forget about them. So, we were B2B, eligible for a total of 6 gifts ( 3 for each cruise) and received nothing. That's how it sometimes goes! Also was waiting for the "mailed" crystal block that was never delivered. LA had blocks and gave me one.

That's how it sometimes goes! That's why I went with the snacks this time around. I'm sure someone in the cabin will eat them. Maybe one evening we'll sit out on the balcony sipping wine and eating fruit and cheese platter. Edited July 29, 2022 by rrraydon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had crystal blocks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Welcome beverage - water/soda/beer (depending on C&A status) Welcome back cookies (no longer delivered on some ships) Gift selection(s) starting at 175 points, and depending on C&A status Chef Choice amenity (can't select what you get) that is making a comeback on some ships.
