Clarea Posted February 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What will be the changes to the Crown & Anchor Loyalty program once all the ships have a Concierge and Diamond + lounge?

RFerrington Posted February 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Well, for one thing, the Concierge Clubs appear to be going away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted February 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2016 There will be a Diamond Lounge and Suite Lounge; not a Diamond Plus Lounge and Concierge Lounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2016 There will be a Diamond Lounge and Suite Lounge; not a Diamond Plus Lounge and Concierge Lounge So those of us that have stayed loyal to RCI and finally attained our D+ status are being downgraded.....nice :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 10, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 10, 2016 fleetwide? No one knows, but that is what has happened on Oasis, Allure, and now Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadbeck Posted February 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So those of us that have stayed loyal to RCI and finally attained our D+ status are being downgraded.....nice :mad: Just curious as to why people think of it this way? I've been in both and see nothing different from one to the other. Each time they have offered the exact same service as far as I could tell, what am I missing that is different?

yogimax Posted February 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 10, 2016 There will be a Diamond Lounge and Suite Lounge; not a Diamond Plus Lounge and Concierge Lounge Diamond Plus Lounge??? What's that? In essence, the Concierge Lounge is the Diamond Plus Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted February 10, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Diamond Plus Lounge??? What's that? In essence, the Concierge Lounge is the Diamond Plus Lounge. I was referring to the terminology OP used. There has not been and there is not currently anything called Diamond Plus lounge. On ships where the Concierge Lounge exists, yes, it is in essence, as you say, a D Plus lounge (and suites). But just trying to clarify terminology to latest versions, which recently with large ship revitalizations and new mega-ships is a phase out of Concierge Lounge in favor of Suites Lounge.

MattInFLL Posted February 10, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Right. But are they excluding D+ from these new "Suites" lounges? Personally I usually opt for the D over the C lounge if there's a choice. Less stuffy. But yes the C lounge concierge does seem to have more "pull".

MattInFLL Posted February 10, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hmmm. I get how that could bother some. Like I said, not a big deal to me, personally. While I don't ever feel the special coddling that my Pinnacle friends get, I generally feel like being D+ still gets me really good treatment.

I think the change is primarily so that suite guests have access to the features / amenities advertised to them. I don't really see it as a move against Diamond Plus, though if you compare tit for tat there is some reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 10, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Right. But are they excluding D+ from these new "Suites" lounges?... Yes on Oasis and Allure. No (so far) on Liberty, but Liberty is still on her first revenue cruise since the Suite Lounge was installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 10, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 10, 2016 In reference to "this is what is happening on the newest ships" - Anthem's Concierge Lounge is open to D+, Pinnacle Club and Suite Guests. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted February 10, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 10, 2016 No one knows, but that is what has happened on Oasis, Allure, and now Liberty. Since freedom just came last year from dry dock do you think they will remove it now or they might wait until another dry dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROVISN Posted February 10, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well, for one thing, the Concierge Clubs appear to be going away... concierge clubs are not going away they are changing access for Suite guest and Pinnacle members only - - right now you can enter as diamond plus and suite guests but i hear that is changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted February 10, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) So those of us that have stayed loyal to RCI and finally attained our D+ status are being downgraded.....nice :mad: The day I became Diamond was the announcement about Diamonds being excluded from the Concierge Lounge. March 2009 I become D+ at the end of October so if S*d's Law can strike twice then I'd expect some sort of change around then!!!
