We never, ever get close to using all six vouchers per person per day. Especially when you add in that we get 3 bottles of comped wine delivered to the cabin each week, and we are allowed to bring on 2 bottles of wine per week (which we never do any longer)....and...we sail in suites, so happy hour in the SL/CL is included also. Anything over that...I need to find the nearest AA meeting location! 😮 But I do enjoy the internet time to the max. 😉 Edited October 19, 2023 by island lady 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a spread of pastries you will find elsewhere on the ship... croissants, muffins, danish, donuts, etc., little yogurt parfaits, some ships have oatmeal, stuff like that. There's nothing special about the actual food but if you're going there for the coffee machine to get an espresso-based drink (the far bigger morning perk, IMO) it's nice to be able to grab something to go with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLs are being renamed SLs. The DLs are in much better locations on the ships we cruise on (Radiance class, Voyager class and Freedom class) and always go to the DL. The Concierge club on Radiance class is far superior to the tiny Diamond club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over that...I need to find the nearest AA meeting location! 😮 But I do enjoy the internet time to the max. 😉 Again, it's personal choice. As a D+ (340+), I'm not much of a hard stuff drinker and enjoy a daily Miami Vice drink. In addition, a couple of beers while by the pool and diet cokes for the rest of the day. I get 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne. As there isn't any card attached, I believe the champagne is from the Casino. Since I sail mostly from Bayonne, I wrap my bottles and bring them home with me and give them to my kids. The internet cost is minimal to me as I skip the initial day as it's a waste. Then I use my 2 free days and followed by a Casino 30% discount on the rest of the days in the package. Normal 7 days sail cost me in the vicinity of $50. It's a value thing, especially when one considers the cost of a drink. I figure the Vice cost around the $14 mark and the beer is $7.50 per. Don't know the cost of a coke, however, one of the few times that I signed a chit, and it was for a Miller Lite beer recently at Coco Cay. Ps. If I need any more, I'll imbibe myself in the Casino.🤣 If I need any more, I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but you are so wrong. They have filled donuts, and not found in other venues. Not my favorite kind with powdered sugar, but I go there for the cream filled donuts. Maybe the suite lounge also has them but hacent seen them elsewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, there's Lox and other meats and cheeses. It's mini WJ without the noise and the hassle of finding a table. As you mentioned, the coffee machine is a big +. I enjoy multiple decaf cappuccinos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a slightly fancier danish there before with some fruit slices on top that I don't normally see elsewhere like the basic danish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's missing too much hot food for me to consider it a mini WJ but if you don't want that stuff, definitely might as well just go to the CL.

Some of our Pinn friends told us to expect a complimentary specialty dining meal certificate but when we asked about it, the LA said that comes when you reach 1400 points. So I guess we will be looking forward to a comp Chops meal some time in the next 16 years ! 🤣 Congratulations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
