TommyH2006 Posted February 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Can anyone tell me what the maximum value of their daily free drinks is for diamond members on Royal Caribbean. Their website simply states "Up to a set value" "Each day of the cruise, Diamond members receive four (4) complimentary drink vouchers, Diamond Plus members receive five (5) complimentary drink vouchers, and Pinnacle Club members receive six (6) complimentary vouchers up to a set value" TIA Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) I think it’s $14 per drink but I haven’t heard of anyone paying extra. I was getting double gentleman jacks with coke and didn’t get charged. A tip goes a long way. Edited February 26, 2023 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the D drinks on your card was first started, the bars would have a list of the drinks you could get as your 'voucher' drink, &, in particular for beers, you could only get the drinks on offer in DL during happy hour ie Heineken or Bud or similar, not a good option for someone who drinks actual beer 🙂 Just planning for Saturday week!!

Beers are $8 ,I found it better to not use the voucher for beer or soft drink.Use it for something more expensive,even if it’s for a friend. The bar tender will explain it to you Neil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never had a problem getting ANY drink. I know it states a value but we have just asked for whatever we require as long as it is only 5 drinks per day. Perhaps things have changed since December though. Will find out shortly if I can get my glass of bubbly (French of course🤣🤣🤣🤣🥂🥂🥂) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a couple of other obscure things. You should get at least 4 bottles of water in your cabin on boarding day. You can get a free bottle of wine per cruise if you ask the Loyalty ambassador. The coffee machine in the diamond lounge is my favourite. You get a one off ,half price glass of wine or beer, so get the most expensive champagne! It’s was suspended but you can get free ship tours through the loyalty ambassador. The diamond vouchers can be used in the restaurants and the coffee shop. On debarking day you get your vouchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it’s with the new C&A program that started this year or it’s just the Loyalty Ambassador on Ovation but I know a few Diamonds that have been getting it. But you have to ask and the wine is pretty ugly . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
