Not to be a downer, but did the person just give the "company answer" we have been hearing about, or did they REALLY KNOW it was coming out then? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we qualified for Deep Blue Extras on this sailing, does this mean we’ll be in the frequent cruiser future program automatically or was this “one and done” for us unless we sail frequently on VV? No one knows. The Deep Blue Extras were to have ended Dec. 31, but were extended until March 31. No one knows what will happen as of April 1. What we do know--Sea Blazers (those who sailed in 2021) have some perks "for life" like the $125 bonus on a purchased bar tab. Sea Rovers (2 cruises in 2022) have the $100 bonus on $300 purchased bar tab for 2 years. There is a new "frequent cruiser" program being developed which will take into account both how much you have spent on booking VV and how much you spent after boarding. They took a lot of input from cruisers. This is all I've seen released, although others might know more. On April first, we can expect that either the new program will be announced or the Deep Blue Extras will be extended. If they count days, I'm good. If they count amount spent, probably not so good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulster-cruiser Posted May 2, 2023 #30 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I see the DBE have been extended to end of the year. I have a quick question. I can see that ‘deep blue extras’ have been added to my add ons. But I don’t see the extra 100$ bar tab per cabin. Did this show up in your add ons? We purchased 900$ worth of bar tab and received 300$ worth of bonus which I can see in the add ons. It is just the extra 100$ per cabin deep blue extra benefit which I’m not seeing. I would expect there to be 4 $100 bonuses. I’m assuming it is just included in the Deep blue extras line in the add one and I’ll see it on my account when I board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted May 2, 2023 #31 Share Posted May 2, 2023 The $100 bar tab is part of DBE. Until boarding, you will see DBE on your account. After boarding, this will show up as a $100 bar tab in the app. At least that's how it worked for us on the current trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviators99 Posted May 2, 2023 #32 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I see that DBE were added to my June voyage, but not my July or December. Maybe they are just adding stuff a bit at a time and it's a manual process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted May 3, 2023 #33 Share Posted May 3, 2023 THey said it was automatic in the sense that people who qualify should not have to do anything. Mine is showing up for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for us it’s the same dollar amount. My guess is they are encouraging us to use it for drinks at the bar vs for Moët champagne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy It is likely listed separately (as was ours) to differentiate it from the $100 bonus that you will get if you purchase a $300 bar tab. Yes, it replaced the "shake for champagne." I'd much rather have the bar tab that we can use as we like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had deep blue extras on our last cruise and it showed on our account a few days after applying for it. Since deep blue extra was supposed to end in April. I didn’t know if we would have it on our next cruise but it showed up a few days after announcing the extended date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had picked our arrival time slot in the app before the DBE showed. If we turn up at 1.30 - will we be allowed to enter the Sailing Club line or will they say that we have to wait until the choosen arrival time? A tiny bit confused....🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
