bigeck Posted March 17, 2018 #3001 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Schooner Bar on Allure, yesterday was Niew Amsterdam, today it's Grey Goose. Also, I kind of remember someone posting that Allure now has a drink policy like the lounges. That is incorrect, at least tonight. They asked for my card and Laura's to charge against our 3 vouchers. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app So you can't go to the lounge first, then get a few drinks on your card. Drinks first, then lounge.Another inconsistency Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucymorgan Posted March 17, 2018 #3002 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If people spend thousands of dollars on board it is for their own personal pleasure only which is reward enough for them but don't then expect additional perks because you have overindulged and treated yourself. Except: - access to the concierge or suite lounge and drinks during happy hour are advertised as a perk for suites. - I don't feel qualified to claim others 'have overindulged' by booking and paying for a suite. I do know that my 80 year old mother deserves to spend her money how she wants after 42 years service as a dedicated and unpaid military wife and I want her to be treated as a special customer. - I really don't understand all of these status versus suite arguments - both are entitled to what is promised.

My referral was to a post that claimed loyalty points should be based on money spent not nights spent on board. We spend plenty on board for our benefit and don't expect to be loyalty rewarded because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugboat Posted March 17, 2018 #3008 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The bartenders in the lounges do not have a choice. One exception to that was on the Vision when the ship ran out of New Amsterdam. They also ran out of Jamison and Bailey's that cruise. We had a lot of D and above for 3 consecutive cruises. Someone did not order very well. John I meant that as a pun I know what they have been told I also know what I have been served once you get to know the bartender if they have too they serve Amsterdam Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Biker is right it is a post whoring phenomena. JC But it’s ok to continually complain by the same people regarding Suite Lounges and requesting bigger space for DL, wanting more free drinks, no overflow and so on. C&A perks have always been at the whim of Royal. People think they are now entitled to them. Why can’t there be two sides to each post. Your way or no way I guess. We see that daily these days.

Blizzard54 Posted March 17, 2018 #3014 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I agree.Anyone any fresh information regarding DL policy's? To summarize the original topic. The new policy seems to be that going forward there will not be overflow areas for the lounges. It has been reported that exceptions can or will be made for TA's, TP's or other exceptions when they deem it appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobal Posted March 17, 2018 #3024 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Wikipedia we are not, but what was your question? Here it is..... Does anyone have any indication of whether they will have overflow lounges for the cruises which attract huge numbers of D up - such as TAs. Heading off on Explorer transpacific next month and assume that also attracts many numbers, so wondered whether there is likely to be an overflow for that.

Rare island lady Posted March 17, 2018 #3025 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Here it is..... As always, ship to ship is inconsistent at best. Hence my favorite quote from Bob (Clarea) RCI: Really Consistently Inconsistent. It's a roll of the dice if there will be an overflow lounge. Some are posting that headquarters are telling ships to stop offering overflow lounges, but some are still doing it. I was on Rhapsody last month and both the CL and DL had overflow lounges. The same ship even will vary policies from sailing to sailing. No way to know in advance if your cruise will offer an overflow, but there again....the vouchers work well if the lounge is too crowded. Either way...have a great cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
