Are Diamond Members entitled to Specialty Coffees for free

[pink845]

When I was on Radiance earlier this year, they had a cafe on Deck 4 which charged extra for specialty coffees, lattes, etc..  My sister mentioned I should have been entitled to ask for Specialty Coffees or lattes for free as a Diamond.  Can anyone provide an answer to this one.

Only sometimes when the DL machine is broken.

And, you can only hope they are broken, because the quality coming out of those machines leaves something to be desired.

And I think I read that you are only entitled to one a day. Can’t confirm as I don’t like coffee.

They would also offer specialty coffee there in a situation like a transatlantic, when there are high numbers of Diamnd and above on board.

That kinda depends on how the alternative was set up and the barista.

On our recent Snowbird itinerary the D & D+ were allowed one specialty coffee per day at other venue's due to the high number of upper tier (1400) onboard. According to the concierge (and he said several asked) those of us who didn't drink coffee were not allowed to substitute hot chocolate instead. Note... the hot chocolate at Starbucks was less expensive than the coffee offered there.

I completely disagree..those machines are the good

If your ship still has a Diamond Breakfast section in the MDR (Grandeur does.  Most have done away with this amenity) you can get specialty coffee at breakfast.

It all depends on how well the machine is maintained.
