n6uqqq Posted May 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) The free drink is only " too hard " for gold VIFP to use ;)! We get the ten cent water bottle instead. Edited May 2, 2015 by n6uqqq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired_to_Cruise Posted May 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) The free drink is only " too hard " for gold VIFP to use ;)! We get the ten cent water bottle instead. No, we get the 20 cent bottle of water like you do, but also get the drink voucher because we are a slightly higher VIFP, just as the Diamonds get a few extra things because they are a slightly high VIFP level than we are. If we all got the same they would just call us VIFP without a color denominator. It is a multi-tiered rewards program. Sorry if you don't like the rewards, but it is up to the rewarder, not the rewardee what the rewards are. :rolleyes: Edited May 2, 2015 by Retired_to_Cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted May 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The free drink is only " too hard " for gold VIFP to use ;)! We get the ten cent water bottle instead. Cruise more and you'll also get the $1 drink. (Seriously, if the water costs Carnival 10c, how much do you think the booze costs?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC Cruisin Posted May 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Nope I'm gold. Dh is red Awesome! I hope when I get on the ship in January 2016 they will still give us GOLD members the free drink coupon!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poison7fl Posted May 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I am Platinum, and I got the Drink Coupon, and Water. My GF is Gold and she only got the water. (last month) Edited May 2, 2015 by poison7fl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I indeed used to get the drink also but that was taken away under the guise that it was too difficult to use. Hence my comment that it was only apparently too difficult to use for gold members. And yes the waters are probably a dime for Carnival. If I can get 35 half liters for 2.99 at Costco, then surely Carnival being the volume purchaser they are can get it for half that cost.

Native Floridian 26 Posted May 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I didn't realize they changed this. The OP got hers this week on the Miracle, but the VIFP matrix of perks says Gold only has the free bottle of water. Darn, hopefully, like the Miracle the OP is on, the Victory will still give me the free drink on May 30th on the Victory. I'm Gold. A bottle of free water does nothing for me since I get 24 at CVS for less than $2.50 and can bring them on board.

cruiser fanatic Posted May 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Obviously this ship doesn't know the new policy. I think the water is better then the drink coupon (although I am Platinum and I get both). I am always looking for something to take my pills with at night or to take ashore.
