 Also, as to your correction regarding suite and diamond lounge access.... correct me if I'm wrong, but guests sailing in a grand suite have access to both regardless of loyalty tier.  

The SeaPass card may or may not open the door, but unless you are D and up, you are not supposed to go into the DL, regardless of cabin type booked.

This would be news to me, Biker.  I have booked GS's for more than 12 years on a host of different ships.  My SeaPass card has ALWAYS opened the door to the DL.

As I said the card may open the door, but that does not mean you are supposed to be in there if you are NOT D and up. The DL concierge may not saying anything either.

 

Biker, who is surprised "the DL is already crowded" folks have not chimed in.

 We were on the Adventure this past winter for 9 weeks.  The diamond lounge was a zoo.  And yes, according to the concierges, suites were allowed in there.  The suite lounge on the other hand was busy, but nowhere near the crowd in the diamond lounge.  We wondered why suite people would opt for the crowded lunge ver the relatively quiet suite lounge.

Sometimes it's because the suite people want to socialize with those who don't have access to the SL.

SherriZ366 thank you for your updated concierge chart. Can you tell me who will be in the concierge lounge in Oct. 2019 aboard Liberty of the Seas? Could not tell from your chart.

Thank you!

How do you know this, Biker?  I am willing to stand corrected if there is an RCCL document or other source you can cite that explicitly states this as a rule.

Although technically Suite passenger that are not Diamond or above are not included,  I doubt any Concierge would ask them to leave.  There would be no plus side to doing that.

I noticed on the spreadsheet a reference on the Adventure of a "Golden Concierge"  

I have never seen or heard of this position.  Any ideas as to what it is?

 

Sounds like something invented for the China/Singapore cruises.

Other than the thanks from the legit folks in there who think the place is too crowded? 

I agree but the Royal is really catering to the suite passengers.  They are spending the big bucks and they to not want any bad press from them.

RCI has enough of a problem maintaining their online policies that permit things, they will hardly publish something which doesn't allow something. Neither the suite perks nor the D perks list suites having access - pretty sure if it was official that suites get access it would be in one of those.

Actually, we were staying in the RS & I was taking a cabin mate on a tour of the ship. We wandered into the overflow area for the DL & were very rudely kicked out! I'm D+ & she was new to cruising. So I can tell you with certainty the right concierge WILL ask you to leave!

But it is in the Adventure section and I do not believe it has even been there. 

 

Odd, there's never been any errors on Royal's website.

Island Lady already provided the source.  In any case I am D+ and have been for quite a while which may explain why I haven't been questioned.  Royal should attempt to streamline and simplify this SL and DL thing so there is clarity as to who is allowed where. There is too much confusion.

It seems like RCI lives on the fact that many of their policies are ambiguous.

Indeed.  Probably true for many cruise lines.  I get the sense that Royal never anticipated there would be so many Diamonds and Diamond Pluses.  Even the number of Pinnacles is increasing.  They are evidently weighted down by their own success.
