Atlantic Canada Posted August 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We are Elite members and I have read on a coupe of member notes that Princess now has a Platinuum/Elite lounge. Does anyone know if this is for sure and on all ships? If "yes" does Princess let you know about it and where to find it on the ship? As well what is offered there....food, drinks, etc? Is it open all the time or just in the evening. Any info appreciated as we plan for next cruise Atantic Canada:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I believe it is on all ships from 5pm to 7pm each evening. You should get a card in your cabin inviting you to it. The card will list each days appetiser and drink special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it open all the time or just in the evening.They've had this for several years and it's available on all Princess ships. There are some snacks, the quality of which depends on the ship (I've seen everything from jumbo shrimp and sauce to nothing more than crudite) and whether you receive a notice of the time, location and schedule of snacks is uncertain. Some people do, others (like myself), don't. Standard drinks, one drink of the day for $3.99. It's only open from 5-7pm so if you have late seating, it closes too early. It's disappointing that they don't have it open even a half hour later for those in late Traditional seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeMates Posted August 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If you don't get a menu for the special drink/appetizers each night, just ask your cabin steward. We find Skywalkers is pretty popular when we sail out of a port around 5 or 6pm. Other evenings there's hardly anyone there. Give it a try.

On some ships (Emerald) nobody knows what the drink of the day is (including the bartender) or what the appetizer special is (including the Maitre de) until you walk in the door!!!

On the Ocean P, we would get a card about once a week listing the appetizer and drink special for each day the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Grand last criuise and we got the card in our cabin the first day, there were not too many people there at skywalkers , we went a few times. We like to go to early dining , so we did not always have time especially on port days. But it is nice. Try it. Cori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmexico Posted August 4, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We always have anytime dining and go to dinner after we visit the Elite lounge. On our last cruise it was quite crowded every evening. We met a lot of very nice folks. We did hang around until after the snacks were cleared. The timing seemed to work well for going to dinner with never a wait.

Cori On our recent Grand cruise (16 days), since there was no Skywalkers, it was held in Explorer's. We got a card in our cabin for the first 8 days and then another one for the next 8 days.

CruisinFinsUp Posted August 5, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi, We are almost elite, but trying a suite on our next cruise. I've noticed that a couple of the perks are extended to suites .... Is the lounge only for actual elite/platinum folks or is it also extended to suites? We'll be on Ruby. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are almost Elite, does that mean you are Platinum, because that will also get you into the lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted August 5, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think it depends on how crowded the lounge is. During busy times they limit guest to people in your cabin and minor children traveling with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted August 5, 2011 #19 Share Posted August 5, 2011 If you are platinum/elite, can you bring a guest who is not plat/elite???What we've done is sit outside but near the Platinum/Elite lounge and the waiters have honored the drink of the day with our card; we've gone up and gotten goodies and brought them back to the table. We've never felt the need to be in the Platinum/Elite section when with non-Platinum/Elite friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops my bad - we are almost Platinum! Too many levels! Glad to hear suites are included in the lounge - another great perk for us to enjoy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
