Only time I was able to access the CL was on the Radiance in 2018 (we are D+) and it was a blessing, as the DL was packed to the max. Most of the other ships, we could have accessed it were too full of Pins and they closed the CL access to us.
We will likely never reach Pin, but who knows when we retire, may discover we hate our future Airstream and the National Parks. Otherwise, at 1 to 2 cruises a year, it will take another 20 years. If I tire of the FlowRider, I would go back to the itinerary first way of cruising. Although, I appreciate the C&A benefits very much.
