twangster Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 That's up to the chartering company. It's presented with a cost for them to accept or decline. Many charter companies use drink purchases as income towards the bottom line so they may not be motivated to give away 4/5/6 drinks to D/D+/P CAS members among the other costs associated with CAS. Sometimes they want to use the DL as a VIP venue, etc. columbus_cruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Muster Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I was on a charter in February. Our sailing there were no pre board or onboard benefits based on status. So no special boarding lines, no diamond lounge, no diamond drinks etc. My status wasn't even printed on my card, but it was on my boarding image on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Muster Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 On the last two, StarTrek cruises there was no loyalty benefit whatsoever. No special boarding, no diamond lounge, no diamond drinks etc. I did have a drink package and I asked one of the bartenders if my card showed diamond drinks and he said no. Normally even with the drink package, I have those five sharable 'vouchers' on the card. The one thing I did get that I was surprised at was the 2X points in the double points promotion for cruises booked before X and taken before Y. The staff in the MDR did know my status. They referenced it when they introduced themselves to me the first night. They said something like I see you are Diamond so you've cruised with us many times or something like that.
