Rare island lady Posted February 4, 2023 #101 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Just talked to the LA on board. We are "scheduled" for 45 Pinnies next week. Which still puts us under the threshold of 50 on Voyager. Once again able to enjoy the SL coffee machine for my early morning Lattes next week. 🙂 And no CK on this ship, hence our choice is our usual JS cabin. Though we did get approval of keeping our same great table location in the MDR again for next week. 🙂 Edited February 4, 2023 by island lady 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or over, depending on how tall you are. 😄 Threshold "AKA maximum amount" of Pinnacles on each ship (determined by who knows who LA or HD I guess) that they will allow into the SL or CL....before the suites people start to get pissy. Funny thing is we are under the threshold for Voyager (max of 50) at 46, but none of us are going into the SL for happy hour. We are all hanging out in the VCL lounge (which is really pretty on this ship). The SL is a ghost town each night. Feel sorry for the concierge in there (who is a very nice lady). Gotchya. I had no clue. I live a sheltered life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to 2023 When Pins are allowed do they get free drinks or do you use your vouchers like in the diamond lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are in a full suite (always on ships that have a CK)....are they charging our vouchers...or are they charged as suites drinks? Luckily I never have to worry about it (though I think the suite's concierge is taking advantage with charging those drinks off to C&A)....since we never go over our six per person vouchers. Any more than that...I need to start checking into my local AA chapter. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Quantum class where the suite lounge is far away, you have to use your vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could tell when they ran your card if you were simply JS pax. The bartender would politely inform that guest (which must have come in for dinner, but are supposed to be allowed in the SL section), that they would have to put that drink on their voucher, assuming of course they were even at Diamond level to get vouchers.

Do you mean concierge lounge? if so, you are correct. If your daily allotment was charged, just see the concierge or guest services to have it reversed. Should you decide to have a drink any place else on the ship, your daily allotment will be charged. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be using the CL (being in a full suite, not a JS), or your choice of the DL (due to you being Diamond). In the CL...you can do suite's free drinks, but only during official happy hour in there. Just be sure to tell them not to charge your vouchers for those. In the DL (drinks only served during happy hour), or in any bar around the ship (at any time) you have a limit of four per person, per day.... at 14.00 and under for no charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner and Independence do last morning also Thanks, one of my favorite perks. We have found that all the ships without a coastal kitchen provide breakfast the last day in specialty restaurants for Pinnacle/suites, since that would be the place for the suites to have breakfast. On ships with no CK, there is either a combined suite/pinnacle daily breakfast or two restaurants are used. Guess it depends on suite/pinnacle numbers. We’ve had it both ways, and either is fine with us. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see how that works for us in two weeks when we are on Harmony which has extended Suite Lounge bar hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our heavy days are days at sea. We usually stop for a bloody mary for the upper tier (since they don't offer them any longer like in the "good old days"), then wine with lunch, drinks at happy hour, and wine with dinner. Still keeps us under the voucher limit...but close to wondering where the AA chapter might be located back home. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
