Diamond Vouchers No Longer Available on Disembarkation Day?

[indy212]

I was on Independence this past weekend but on disembarkation day I tried to get a mimosa in the main dining room at breakfast and was told no vouchers that day.  I was subsequently charged for my drink as I still wanted it. I previously used in July on disembarkation day.

First I've heard of it. We also used ours on disembarkation day on Indy in July (it was actually turn around day of a B2B but same difference).

 

Not a giant deal for me, personally, but I was looking forward to getting some more free iced coffee drinks at Cafe Promenade next month before heading home.

We've been able to get drinks off of our "packages" on disembarkation day but have never tried using Diamond drinks, as I would not think that would be possible. Hmmm, maybe I'll try it next time out of curiosity. I can see one being able to use the Diamond drinks on turnaround day for a B2B but not if leaving the ship. Anxious to hear other experiences too.

I used my diamond drinks on disembarkation day to get a cappuccino, that was on Adventure in May.  Also was able to in January on Anthem.

No big deal, IMHO.

It isn't.  I don't need 8 drinks the morning I leave.   But was trying to confirm as all the other threads someone chimes in that at midnight the last night it replenishes.  It did work in July, but not yesterday.  If someone can confirm then others will not get the wrong information as it now has changed.

Well said. While not a huge deal, I enjoy getting things for free as well as knowing if I am no longer entitled to them. Given how these sort of policies work with RC, I'll likely ask the DL concierge next month while onboard regardless.

Just off B2B Voyager on Sunday and got a latte on disembarkation morning on each sailing with my freebie drinks.

I would not be surprised at all if this was one of those things that varies by ship

[bilyclub]

I would think if it happens a lot more the bean counters will put an end to it.  Can't wait until the fleet is out of hock and things get back to normal.

Or varies by the server or venue or... I agree, that's why I'll worry about it when I'm actually onboard.

Whilst I am not surprised by that, the vouchers are either on the card, or not. There shouldn't be any ambiguity.

I agree there "shouldn't" but I can also see a server/bartender telling someone they can't use them without even checking. Kind of like getting 2 completely different answers if you call customer service twice with the same question. 🙃

It worked on for us on Navigator two weeks ago.  We were able to get lattes debarkation morning with our diamond vouchers.  

[imola]

I wonder if the difference is drinks with alcohol vs those without?  I have no idea, just a thought.  We are doing a 3B starting next month so I will try it out.

We tried on Sunday (Sept 18), but fresh squeezed orange juice was not available in the MDR for breakfast  on disembarkation day on Liberty.  We didn't ask about vouchers after we found out we couldn't get the OJ.

[Another_Critic]

Debarked Voyager on Sunday.  Got fresh squeezed OJ in MDR with D voucher and also got a diet coke at Cafe Promenade. 

[Buccaneergirl]

We were on Mariner in August and Dh got 5 bottles of water with his card on disembarkation day.

He actually only asked for two waters and the girl at cafe promenade  told him he might as well get 5 since we are D+!  Luckily, he had room in his backpack to put them.

I can report that I've gotten a latte with the vouchers the final morning of each of my 23 sailings since the all-day vouchers began - 12 different ships.  Hope it continues!

So they allow you to take the latte off the ship?

[Aquahound]

Just disembarked Ovation this past Friday.  Cashed in 2 vouchers for 2 lattes that morning.  No problem.

Why wouldn't they?  It's in a disposable cup....
