Rare island lady Posted July 24, 2017 #151 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As the number of passengers on Oasis class is double most other ships and probably the same ratio D and D+ there should be a new bigger lounge or a second lounge for P and D+ only. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Exactly. Rather than do away with the CL, simply add the SL for Suites only as the needed third lounge for so many suites on that class of ship, and most definitely a proportionately large number of D's and D+ could have kept the two lounges to alleviate the crowding. And not take away a perk the D+ were used to having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted July 24, 2017 #152 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Rename the Diamond Lounge to the Plus Lounge, and relegate the Diamonds to the drink vouchers. As this suggestion is from Bob i will not critisise although if they did this there should be at least 5 drink vouchers each which could be used anywhere including the MDR.

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app I'm fine with that. Again, need to see PC preference. What is the attachment of someone with 175 pts to someone with 700+ pts? Currently PC have access to Open Bar from 11-11. Are you proposing taking that away from them? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted July 24, 2017 #154 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm Diamond and agree. I don't believe many of D+ agree with that as from what I have witnessed in CL was they enjoyed hooking up with/ talking to PC.

grapau27 Posted July 24, 2017 #155 Share Posted July 24, 2017 How does different points per cabin category reward loyalty? A first time cruiser can book the most expensive category and get the most points per night. That's not loyalty. That's just money. Totally agree.

grapau27 Posted July 24, 2017 #157 Share Posted July 24, 2017 That is what I thought would happen when the vouchers came out. 3 drink vouchers for D's in any lounge, (or/and back to Diamond event? We enjoyed that on Freedom before the DL was installed. Just beer and wine and a cup of peanut munchies, remember that one?) C&A lounge (D+ and Pinnacle) Suite Lounge (GS and above) I could live with that but still think they should increase the drink vouchers to at least 5.

grapau27 Posted July 24, 2017 #165 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You are correct, jumping ship is the best place to protest. Suite Guests are likely to do the same if they were to lose perks (i.e. Open SL to D+). Sent from my iPhone using Forums If that is the general attitude i have no desire to go in that lounge.

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app My point was, the SL during evening hours is nearly full. Permitting any others, be it D+ or someone else, would likely decrease the enjoyment of those who currently have access. The SL is very relaxed when it comes to dress code. Flip flops and pool attire, along with kids, seem to be welcome in the SL. As soon as D+ were allowed in, you could just imagine the posts and complaints here regarding dress code. It has an open bar from 11-11 as well. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL on this ship class obviously offers significantly more perks so there really should be 3 lounges to accommodate the D,D+ and P.

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Look, if I had something taken away from our cruise experience, that we had been accustomed too, we would be upset as well. The big ships are not our favorite. We find the experience must better typically on the smaller ships. The biggest driving factor for us to book on the big ships, is the the SL/CK. If certain things go away that we enjoy, we are likely to choose another cruise line that offers the things we like.
