So how are the gratuities/service charges/etc  handled with the free drink vouchers?  If there is a cap of $13 does that need to include your service charge, etc. or you are out money on your sea pass card for those extras?  i'm sure if you got a coffee or a bottle of water this would not be an issue but for drinks approaching $13 anyway just curious.  Thanks.

No receipt to sign so, we assume, no gratuity.  At least not one that appears on final cruise statement.  Swipes show with $0.00 when viewing account online.  We tend to tip $1.00 for each drink which I recognize is not 18%.

[catmandu73]

thanks for your response.  i was just concerned they would automatically assess an 18% gratuity if you hit your $13 limit per swipe.

all these new processes to learn before hopefully boarding for September 12 cruise.

You may get a voucher to sign. Add a dollar or two

Someone reported early that on a drink over $13 they paid the difference, but then saw a gratuity added for the entire cost of drink.

I wonder if Pina Colada, Margarita, Blue Hawaii are under $13? Where can I see a menu?

Thank you!

Google knows everything.

Glad to hear they're limiting the CL to suite passengers only.  Thanks for the info.

We still were in the DL every night even with the vouchers. Love meeting fellow lovers of cruising.

All those are under (or at) the limits

 

i think people make too much of a big deal about the cost limit. Pre Covid, I always got the deluxe package, with the exception of some wines and higher end bourbons or scotch, I NEVER ordered a drink that was not covered.

Can someone please help. I am turning diamond on my feb cruise. I am going on a cruise 2 weeks after I get back in March. I know I get the 4 drinks on my March cruise. Question, my 22 year old son will be diamond after the March cruise. When I turn diamond in feb can I have him turn diamond too?  He lives at my address?

Yet your husband matches you?

It's a "progeny" thing.  Spouses or SOs are a different category.

Totally different scenario unfortunately. 

Plus match for children stops at D+. Husband and Wife matches to Pinnacle 

 

Plus you really don't need to be married anyway. Significant Other seems to be the magic designation.

Have 5 as a D+.  Just returned this Friday from Ovation 7N to Alaska.  Only one day did I have 5.  Your choice of drink w/$13 cap.  DW probably had 3-4 drinks max.  Prefer this program to DL HH chaos w/cheap wine etc.  I'll have a SoCo manhattan.  Couldn't get that in DL.  Well...at least not under typical conditions.

 

@ILCTCRUISER - out of pure curiosity:  Did you find SoCo on every ship?

Absolutely. I wonder if I met anyone from this forum I’ll never know because Cruise Critic is never brought up.

I was on Anthem recently, when I was in the solarium I asked someone what their drink was and they answered Pina Coloda, but that was not actually on the drinks menu. Is it Ok then to ask for a drink not on the menu?
