The kids could potentially use more than their 4 vouchers each, or the two adults could tap into the vouchers loaded for the kids? I was unable to use my kids voucher fior adult beverages on my last 2 cruises. Indy and Symphony. February and March. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash tips are greatly appreciated by the crew on those voucher drinks by the way. If you find the right bartender, tips will get you unlimited “voucher “ cocktails! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure it was $1.18 plus tip. First cruise using these vouchers and it was great trying all these different drinks. I liked the gumbay smash the best from the lime and coconut bar. It should of been $1.18 but Royal has their own way of doing math. I will email M Bayley and demand a free cruise as compensation. 1/10 BEVERAGES 14016598 BAMBOO ROOM 1.28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyCruiser Posted April 5, 2022 #83 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Great thread. We'll be on our very first cruise as a Diamond members this June, so can someone clarify that the "vouchers" in all the previous posts are not really printed paper "vouchers" that we hand to the staff like a coupon, but are like "credits" already loaded on our card? Also, how do we keep track of how many drinks we've already ordered during the day? ie, let's say by dinner time, I've already forgot if I've drunk 2 or 4 drinks already, can the staff run my card on their machine to tell me how many I've ordered that day already? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseLover15 Posted April 5, 2022 #85 Share Posted April 5, 2022 On 3/31/2022 at 1:09 PM, neverbeenhere said: Q : How will the daily happy hour be impacted?A : The Happy Hour in the lounges will take place daily from 5 pm to 8 pm. Diamond and above members will enjoy daily beverage vouchers to be used at any bar, at any time, in the lounges during Happy Hour, or in our private destinations. Whether it’s sparkling water, sparking wine, or the drink of the day, you choose when and where to enjoy these beverages. The number of daily beverage coupons will increase as follows: Diamond — 4 beverage coupons loaded daily on SeaPass card Diamond Plus — 5 beverage coupons loaded daily on SeaPass card Pinnacle Club — 6 beverage coupons loaded daily on SeaPass card Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Club members will be able to redeem their complimentary beverage vouchers (for drinks valued up to $13) at any venue except Starbucks, Bionic Bar and Rising Tide Bar, at any time throughout the day. I have to say, I can understand the Bionic Bar, but don't really understand not being able to use it at the Rising Tide Bar since they have a bartender.

I think it's a ship-based thing (also agree it's stupid). I've been on Symphony and Allure one week after another, and one allowed it and one didn't. (At least, according to the letter in my room. I didn't try it for whichever one said it wasn't allowed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted April 6, 2022 #88 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hello, I couldn't use my 'vouchers' at the Bionic Bar on Anthem on two cruises last autumn. That it was 'out of order' both times may have had something to do with it. 😁 Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choozin Croozin Posted April 15, 2022 #92 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So I wonder if this will change as I am sure this was made to spread people out. Hmmm. I think I like this better than prior to Covid, but not cruising until next year so just wondering. Will wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats standing in line or on the phone with GS getting the charge reversed. Just ask concierge to do it. It's what they do😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
