Sue L Posted October 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2007 there was a casino credit for 10 $ get 12$, a 10% off logo wear in the shops, a 5$ coupon for the internet (we put both our together) and it was perfect for checking email a couple of times during the week and checking in for our flight home. Buy 1 drink get second free. I think there was something for the photos but I don't remember what, maybe a free photo of the ship? I think that was about it.

DonnaK Posted October 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2007 there is also a coupon for free wine tasting. A buy-one-get-one drink coupon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleigh229 Posted October 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2007 can anyone tell me what the difference is between the gold coupons and platinum coupons? Gold gets 5% off in gift shop / platinum gets 10% off Gold gets buy a photo get a photo of the ship free / Platinum gets buy one get one free of your pictures There were a couple extra coupons for the casino in the plaitnum book That's all I can remember b/c from looking through my parents' book and being jealous that we needed on more cruise to be platinum with them!

pandajune Posted October 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Where do you get the coupon books? We have Crown & Anchor cards, but have never gotten any coupon books. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted October 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Where do you get the coupon books? We have Crown & Anchor cards, but have never gotten any coupon books. Thanks They'll be in your cabin. If not ask your steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Maybe it was 5%, I didn't use it so not positive. I didn't use it either; I could not believe how piddling it was! (it's still in my old books; if I had used it, I couldn't have checked! ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rncruiser Posted October 13, 2007 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I think the coupon books differ not only by level of Crown and Anchor membership, but by length of cruise as well. Either that or RCI is cutting down on the coupons. We just returned from our first 5 night cruise after having only done 7 and 9 nighters and there were no Johnny Rockets coupons and no 2-for-1 drink coupons. I was very disappointed and told RCI so in the email survey they sent me yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I´ve never been on anything shorter than 7 nights, I can´t say but on the coupon books it always says for 7+night sailings. So I would assume those for the shorter sailings differ.

I was very disappointed and told RCI so in the email survey they sent me yesterday. It's just a guess, rncruiser, but I think that until recently, there wasn't a ship doing short cruises that had JR's. And ships that had JR's were not doing short cruises. Navigator is now going to do short cruises, and Sovereign and Majesty have JR, but they have zillions of old booklets already printed that they don't want to waste. :) On our Sovereign cruise, they gave us separate, not-in-the-booklet coupons for JR. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rncruiser Posted October 14, 2007 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Actually, the books we had were dated 1/07, which was long after Explorer had started 5 night cruises and I believe Sovereign already had JR's at that time. Yes, there are many ships that do short cruises that don't have JR's, but there are also many ships that do longer cruises that don't have JR's. That would mean either that they would have to have separate coupon books for different classes of ships, or people would get books with coupons they couldn't use. I think that they just aren't giving JR's coupons for shorter cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocorobabe Posted October 14, 2007 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Diamond and +'s books are different and offer more of every thing. And as the man said...if it is not in your room ask your room stew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted October 14, 2007 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'm about to get my first Diamond coupon booklet on my upcoming Mariner cruise :D Anyone know what'll be in it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inshape Posted October 14, 2007 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It is not much to use for us, there are a lot of exceptions to using the coupons, but we do use a few. Whatever we do not, we bring with us the next cruise, they do not expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked-on-travel Posted October 15, 2007 #18 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I was going to ask if you could keep them for later. I went on a 7 day on Rhapsody last May and got the usual Johnny Rockets coupon...but Rhapsody doesn't have a JR. So, I kept everything figuring eventually I'll sail a ship with JR so I'll just have EXTRA! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcruise Posted October 16, 2007 #19 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thought this might be helpful; here's what was in the Gold book we got on Mariner in Sept. We also got the famous blue embroidered tote bags with beige handles and the name of the ship. Pretty OK as a token for only our second cruise; can't complain. Used: - Buy one drink, get one free (good for premium liquors too) - Free wine tasting ($9.95 value) - was only good at one tasting first sea day, but it was fun - Free Johnny Rockets admission ($3.95 value) - Gift shop discount - 5% off any RCI logo merchandise (only useful if you're planning to buy something anyway...) - Buy any photo, get a 5 x 7 of the interior or exterior of the ship free (they're like postcards) Didn't use: - 10% off any one spa or salon service. - Purchase any bingo package and receive one free Single Jackpot bingo card. - Digital photo credit: 10% off digital printing/burning images to a CD (2 of these in each book; think we actually did use one of them) - Casino credit ($12 for $10) - Casino credit ($5.00 match play certificate) - Bottle of wine: buy one, get 10% off any bottle under $50 - Ben & Jerry's - 25% off a Peace Pop bar - Seattle's Best - 25% discount on any coffee beverage. - Airbrushed temporary tattoos - purchase any small tattoo, get a second small tattoo free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcruise Posted October 16, 2007 #20 Share Posted October 16, 2007 There was also a coupon for 5 free internet minutes ...DH used his, I submitted mine but the web was SOOOO slow I didn't get to use them. Read the fine print. You need to submit the coupon before you log on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailnsee Posted October 16, 2007 #21 Share Posted October 16, 2007 we are diamond but if your book gives you photo coupons-use them-free pictures-no questions asked. free wine tasting if offered is great experience and use your J.R.-may not be on anything less than 7-going on the 6 day Navigator in Nov. so we will see. I agree the coupons are getting "stingy"The free drinks definetly usable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ships that had JR's were not doing short cruises. :D That reminded me for some reason of the bit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: ". . . Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. . . " Sorry. I can't help it. I'm that crazy person who enjoys disembarkation morning. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
