15 year old diamond member. What are his benefits???

[socialsea]

My grandson has diamond status due to his father's status. What benefits would he receive in lieu of the alcohol drinks?

I saw this on another thread:

He could get mocktails instead of alcoholic drinks.

Our SL bartender made amazing watermelon lemonade for our young grand sons. 

During regular hours when SL doesn't serve drinks they used their D+ vouchers for soda, smoothies & milkshakes.

He’ll get 4 drinks per day (can use for coffee, mocktails, water, etc), one 24-hour period of Internet, and 1 free photo…those are the best benefits 😊

In our experience, the photo and day of internet was not offered. A discount on the internet package was  an offered benefit. 
 

Our family member made good use of the arcade rebate. 
 

Of course, we always see different policies on different ships.

You can apply that benefit to any Voom package offered, including the 24 hour package - it might not be obvious in the options, but it should be there. Getting the free photo may not be obvious either - just ask one of the photo staff how to do it.

So diamond kids do get the photo and 24 hour internet? I’ve read reports of yes and no for those benefits.

Agree.  It would be nice to get some clarity on this.

Not so sure about the photo but most reporting suggests that they should get the Voom discount.

They do not get a photo.  We have been on 3 different ships since going diamond and I think it is under 18 cannot get a photo.  The 4 drinks (non-alcohlic of course) but not sure what else.

I’m guessing it’s ship specific. We will be on allure thanksgiving week. Will be our first cruise as diamond. Will definitely try for the photo and voom for the kids and report back here.

My underage nieces did not get photos on Harmony in May/June.

My kids never got the free photo.  My 19-year-old stepson didn't even get the photo.

No, it was not until my 9 year old daughter became diamond on her own, did she get the free picture offer.  It never showed in photos onboard until she gained enough points  to be diamond herself.

Just off the Navigator a couple weeks ago. Son is 16 and has 400+ points himself. Definitely no free photo for him. Also tried on every sailing since we all turned D many years ago and his seapass would never get a free photo. Son getting the two free internet sessions just started our first cruise post covid this past Feb. Until then, it was always a discount.
