Rare LMaxwell Posted February 25, 2018 #2001 Share Posted February 25, 2018 All the more reason to order drinks table side even it is not FREE. A birdie tells me people with balance issues should avoid alcohol. Sent from my iPhone using Forums If you have balance issues, paying for a drink vs getting one for free isn't going to have any different outcome.

icsys Posted February 25, 2018 #2006 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Drinks in the DL don’t count against your 3 during happy hour. You can then go to any bar and get a free drink on those menus. That set up has been in place for both DL and CL since the drink voucher program first came out. Now some ships are allowing you to use your drink vouchers in the MDR...but not all ships. Personally I have never understood why those three drinks vouchers cannot be used in the MDR, between the allotted times. There are only three, and when they are gone, they are gone!

grapau27 Posted February 25, 2018 #2007 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The comment was to stop at a bar and grab a drink using a drink voucher on the way into the MDR. However I'm one of those that have left the MDR to get a couple voucher drinks and bring them back to our table. No baggie to me. You are quite entitled to do that if they won't honour the free diamond drink voucher in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted February 25, 2018 #2011 Share Posted February 25, 2018 When MDR wont accept the vouchers after leaving the DL you can pop into the nearest bar and use your vouchers to get drinks to take into dinner. I have done that many times also. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 25, 2018 #2012 Share Posted February 25, 2018 You don't say! Is that breaking news! :confused::rolleyes: The use of the drink vouchers was the suggestion. LOL Agree!! :cool: And as Graham said...it's "on the way" to the MDR...not jumping up and running to get another glass during dinner. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 25, 2018 #2013 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We often purchase a bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in the restaurant and always in a Speciality restaurant.

Rare island lady Posted February 25, 2018 #2014 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hey! Good to see you out and about! [emoji16] On Brilliance Monday, will check back on overflow in either DL or CL.... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Bill...the DL overflow into the VCL for one of the few 7 night Brilliance cruises out of Tampa in December was horrendous!! Soooo packed up, tried twice to get a drink in there, no waiter came to take our order. Then Bucky stood in line for 10 minutes at the bar until I finally waved him off. Rest of the week we just gave up and used the CL after "magic hour" when first seating emptied the lounge out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of us, including MIL/FIL, being D+ we won’t have an issue either way. Thanks Pat for the info! Heal up!!

Agree...and I think RCI is slowly bringing all ships into the same line as offering the use of the drink vouchers in the MDR. I just don't know which ones are in place right now...and then again...those ships may waffle back and forth on that issue anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilkySal Posted February 25, 2018 #2024 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’ve witness intoxicated people trying to walk in with their drink in hand making a mess as they go. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I'd like to see sober people try to walk to the MDR from the DL with a lemon drop or any variety of martini!:eek: Those glasses are not made for travel, drunk or sober!:o I do hope I can use my DL voucher in the MDR for those delicious martinis!!;p (Yes, I know I can just "buy" them but why?)

Bravo. If it’s something one wants and it’s not FREE, buy it. I have had them make me Martinis in a Whiskey glass as I have a difficult time with those martini glasses.
