betmust Posted December 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I noticed on my page that we reached Emerald on the last cruise so my next cruise booked shows I have to update my preferences for a beverage in a welcome basket. The list shows water, soft drink or juice. I am just wondering how many it is and what the snack is. I guess I didn't realize that I would get this. Nice gesture... When i reached platinum, they sent us a letter with some lapel pins. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted December 3, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2016 4 cookies as a snack on Empress last week - they were decorated just enough to distinguish them from the plain WJ ones.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garavar Posted December 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2016 4 cookies as a snack on Empress last week - they were decorated just enough to distinguish them from the plain WJ ones.:rolleyes: 4 or 5 burnt cookies (cant remember didn't eat them) that were 100% from WJ, no decoration or masking of any kind on Rhapsody TA 11/19/16 Never thought I would say I miss the old shortbread cookies and almonds. This new change is completely underwhelming. I could walk 3 feet to WJ and get cookies. Give me something different please.

mtu_huskies Posted December 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 3, 2016 On Freedom a few weeks ago. We had a Diet Coke and two bottles of water. Plus an RCL branded package of shortbread cookies. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted December 3, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2016 This week Jewel gave away the prepackaged nuts & shortbread cookies. I received an email prior to the cruise stating that fresh cookies would be provided. Two sodas provided - no waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted December 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) As D+, we only got 6 bottles of water on GR a few weeks ago as our welcome gift. Never saw the cookies. We did get our gift of a bottle of wine in the MDR too. It's become a surprise as to what we end up with in the room on each trip. And, we haven't had the chef's choice amenity in a while, def not on GR or Anthem and maybe not last year on Vision. It's still listed on the C&A page, but we didn't get anything.

You will get the basket on the cruise after the one on which you earn the points to become Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betmust Posted December 6, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thank you all for your responses. I had no idea what it was. Did not expect much but thats ok. I don't cruise with them for the welcome basket with cookies and drink. Still prefer Royal over any other cruiseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
