KenC Posted September 30, 2015 Author #30 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi Bob & Cor The Diamond Lounge on Vision is very small (unless there are so many Diamonds that they open another bar for us). We normally enjoy our free Diamond drinks on our shipcards in the R Bar or Viking Crown. Let's see what happens - we don't mind trying the Diamond Lounge if it's not too crowded!! We are on Late Dining what about you? Cheers Ken & Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdog647 Posted October 20, 2015 #33 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello everyone, again. This is Doug from the Mar 30 Vision post above. Last night Royal had the most wonderful of sales, so I was up til 330am while their computer glitch got fixed to take advantage of another Vision TA. This spring on the TA the Diamond and Concierge lounges were overflowing, and they did indeed have to open up overflow areas in adjoining areas. Maybe it won't be too crowded, but some of us mature folks can hold our liquor. I will be staying a few days in Amsterdam before the cruise due to no last minute frequent flyer flights, but sometimes you just have to take things as they come. Looking forward to meeting you all. See you on the 30th. Say hello. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they open a larger bar as the diamond lounge - the current one is a bit pokey. At least we have 3 free drinks on the shipcard before dinner!! Look forward to meeting you - we will look for you, think we can find you from your avatar!! Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdog647 Posted October 22, 2015 #35 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Ken C is being generous and kind to say Vision's Diamond Lounge "is a bit pokey". You have to be an acrobat to walk around the furniture they have stuffed in the tiny room, and even the bar staff has problems delivering trays of drinks with people standing. Luckily the Some Enchanted Evening Lounge is usually available and the concierge opens it up for overflow most nights. On the Spring TA there were over 300 Diamond members and 150+ Diamond Plus and above onboard. The C&A lounges just aren't able to handle that many cruisers, especially the Diamond lounge.

Doug Hi Doug Unfortunately only the diamond lounge was in action when we were last onboard in June - hence our poor opinion of the space!! As it is likely there will be a large number of diamonds on the TA, then a bigger lounge will be great. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdog647 Posted October 23, 2015 #37 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Ken, the Diamond Lounge is cramped on any cruise with jsut the usual number of Diamond members. The TransAtlantic cruises bring larger number of Diamond and up C&A members. This happens on all the Royal ships. You just can't handle those numbers in the Diamond Lounge. Royal has added 3 drinks on your card to try to disperse people. But it's nicer when they open up the big room outside the Diamond Lounge. Also. many people who could go to the Concierge lub enjoy meeting the people in the Diamond Lounge. We can talk about it. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Doug, absolutely agree, it will be much more fun with the diamonds in some enchanted evening! Sometimes though it is nice to have the 3 free drinks so one can try another bar for a change!!
