However, it was not listed anywhere in the pinnacle letter that we received in our stateroom. We only confirmed its continued existence by having one of the bartenders print out the list of benefits that were loaded on our sea pass cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6MonthsHere6MonthsThere Posted August 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It was still available on Anthem in May and June this year but as was stated it doesn’t show up on the letter from the Loyalty Ambassador 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some ships/sailings, Pinnacles are limited to just two dinner reservations per cruise. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time use - per Pinnacle per qualified cruise. Specific ships only and certain limitations such as not combinable with BOGO. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted August 22, 2023 #13 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Interesting. I'm a Pinnacle member too and I've never heard of this; granted I've only held this status for about 12 months now. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Pinnacle member too and I've never heard of this; granted I've only held this status for about 12 months now. Thank you. It was first enacted during the initial restart when Pinnacle members were barred from the suite lounge and Coastal Kitchen. It was a temporary measure to compensate for losing CK access. Like many things Royal in practice it varied in implementation by ship. Some ships that don't have a CK offered it during the restart. Other's didn't. Once CK access was restored as the restart progressed it began to disappear from the welcome letter. Yet in the time honored tradition of Royal Caribbean International consistency, not all ships removed the $25 voucher in the same manner. I was eating at Johnny Rockets on Adventure. I had some OBC to use up so I splurged on that occasion. When it came time to settle the bill the server asked if I wanted to use my Pinnacle voucher. "Sure, why not?". Adventure doesn't have a CK yet this ship covered my JR lunch with the voucher I wasn't expecting and didn't ask for. 🤷♂️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information should be in the welcome letter that you receive in the cabin. It is generally in one of the paragraphs rather than included in the list of benefits. Perhaps someone on this thread, has a copy of the letter. I do not. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been on dozens of non-CK ships since the start and I have never heard anything nor been offered to use the $25 voucher on any non CK ship. Perhaps you had a wait staff that used to work on an oasis class ship. I don’t know how they would have charged it since it wouldn’t have been on your benefits list, but glad it worked out. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your next sailing on a non-CK ship, ask a bartender to print out the perks on your account. Edited August 22, 2023 by Biker19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been pins 5+ years and in May on our Ovation Alaska cruise the Loyalty Ambassador told us we could no longer use our $25 vouchers at their Pub for our usual pub burger meal. We have often enjoyed a burger there in the past as well as Playmakers. He told us the terms of the vouchers have changed to only include specialty restaurants. We thought…chicken excrement! Makes you wonder where those terms are available to read. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
