Depends on the venue. In the DL I never have. In the MDR I do for the first order but not after that for the entire cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually are on Celebrity. Was told by Crown& Anchor rep that there will be waters and plate of cookies as chef’s gift in our cabins as Diamond. Do we need to order or is it automatic? Is there cappuccino in the Diamond lounge? I’m addicted. 😆. Thanks. We are very excited. by the way, does anyone know how many dress up nights on a 6-day sailing? Call the CAS, 1-800-526-9723 and tell them your drink preference. Chefs choice you just get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to order or is it automatic? Waters and cookies are automatic. You can also choose a "welcome beverage" which you must call to place on your account as your preference. Depending on your CAS level, the choice is a can of pop or a bottle of beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long before they tried to appease us with a milkshake BOGO. You can get a wash 'n' fold bag on any cruise, but you only get the discount on a cruise of 5 or more nights. You can use it on (for example) Day 5 of a 7 night cruise. Lately, mine has come back the next day. Yep. I'm sure you remember when we got those coupon books in the cabin. The coupons varied with C&A level. I believe we did get a JR coupon along with free photo, photo discounts, spa discounts, and some other stuff including our drink vouchers. My wife took it as a challenge to use all our coupons. I bet you also remember when JR was a no upcharge venue. That didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they started charging but C&A members got a coupon for a free visit (don’t believe beverages were included). All levels got the coupon as I think we were only gold or at best platinum at the time. Not big fans so usually gave the coupons away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s super easy and most times they see you’re Diamond on your sea pass card and know what to do. I never had any trouble being charged incorrectly. This is such a fantastic benefit. It’s great to get a drink when ever you want one and not just between happy hours. This is the best perk in my opinion. We loved it. Even my daughter who doesn’t drink alcohol was able to enjoy a some mocktails and even specialty coffee. I never found a time that the drink was over the $13 value. It was great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted September 18, 2022 #37 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The best part about reaching Diamond is that you are now in a group of a select few cruisers that have shown their loyalty to cruising Royal Caribbean Cruises for many years. Your loyal status affords you a number of perks only available at your status level obtained. Wear your Diamond status loyalty pin with pride and notice that you are one of the very few that seem to reached the status as there is a lack of others on your sailing wearing the Diamond Loyalty Status Pin. Read the letter from the loyalty advisor that you receive on the ship. Take advantage of any perk you enjoy. And of course… cruise cruise cruise. also… SMILE. Life is fun!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted September 18, 2022 #39 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I love the 4 drink any time perk. I have this scary feeling they will take it away once they realize less people are buying the drink package. I'm assuming less people are buying them because for the first time in several cruises, I didn't buy one. I'm hoping this stays a perk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not buying it either (for the first time) I'm going to watch my account and see what it takes to drink 1K worth in a week. I expect I'm better off just paying.

I don't think they could remove it at this point.... it's way too popular of a perk, and would likely drive what is now a guaranteed loyal fan base over to a competitor. Remember the outcry when they did away with the crystal block program? It didn't take them but a minute to reinstate that program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoBe2010 Posted September 19, 2022 #42 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Thanks for all your input. I am curious now, if JR will be part of a promo on my upcoming cruise.

We have our first RCCL cruise since 2017 coming up in a few weeks and are also curious to see what has changed. We have been diamond level for about 14 years and pretty much had it figured out but so much has changed since the shutdown we almost feel like first timers again. That's not entirely a bad thing but the comfort of having "done the drill" was pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Embarkation or turn-around day, is always tough for them.) If missing, just let them know. * There are 2 types of bathrobes (that I know of)...1 has the Royal Caribbean logo, and the other has the Crown & Anchor logo. The C&A appears to be a bit "plushier".

Especially since COVID, I think they're only doing robes on request. No sense putting them in the rooms if they're going to have to be laundered even if they aren't used.
