grapau27 Posted March 18, 2018 #3151 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I had two lounges before the name change, so with a CL I could mingle with the suite guests and Pinnacles the SL not so, so I Don’t care how you explain it I still feel like I got kicked out again.

Clarea Posted March 18, 2018 #3153 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Liberty just had a sign change when the CL became a suite lounge. But I'm still not sure why that matters? :D:rolleyes: I thought they created a new Suite lounge up in Viking Crown where the game and card rooms were formerly located.

tugboat Posted March 18, 2018 #3154 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Agree. You did get kicked out when it was renamed and done away with.. Wait until the D's get kicked out the DL and only have 3 drinks on they're card. Bottom line is, we don't have a choice. Royal can and will do what they like Wait till they only give you three drinks no matter where you get them. Coming to your favorite Diamond lounge real soon.

Coralc Posted March 18, 2018 #3155 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I thought they created a new Suite lounge up in Viking Crown where the game and card rooms were formerly located. Maybe I am misremembering, but I thought the CL and DL were already up there when the change occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Eight Posted March 18, 2018 #3156 Share Posted March 18, 2018 When they built the Oasis and Allure each ship had a Diamond and concierge lounge which Diamond had access to both lounges. Since the name change I don’t book the big ships anymore. Looks like they are going to take the freedom class away from us too. Sent from my iPad using Forums Educate me then please as Oasis and Allure were changed before my time. It was my understanding that the SL/CK replaced the Viking Crown on Oasis/Allure during Drydock?

If I recall correctly (and I also might be misremembering), they created the SL and for a short amount of time allowed suite guests, PC, and D+. Some weeks later they stopped allowing D+.

Clarea Posted March 18, 2018 #3159 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Before drydock change, where was DL and CL on Oasis and Allure? DL was on deck 6, overlooking the Royal Promenade, frequently overflowed into Blaze. CL was on decks 11 and 12 (same exact place where DL is now), just aft of the midship centrum, with entrance on deck 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL was on decks 11 and 12 (same exact place where DL is now), just aft of the midship centrum, with entrance on deck 11. When we were on Allure a few years ago, they didn't even bother to have the DL open for happy hour. They just had it all in Blaze. There were a lot of D and D+ onboard that trip.

Rare John&LaLa Posted March 19, 2018 #3166 Share Posted March 19, 2018 True, but only if you insist on the 7-nights being in a single cruise. I, for one, am just as happy with a 4-3 B2B as with a single 7-night cruise. I refuse to cruise on the Oasis-class ships (just too big) so B2B is often the only 7-day option (on RCI). Two musters in 7 days 😱😱😱 I'll pass. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted March 19, 2018 #3167 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Personallly I like the drink vouchers. We travel with non Diamonds and we can enjoy a before dinner drink with our friends. We peeked into the lounge on one trip and turned away due to the crowding. On Celebrity you have to go to the lounge for your perks. It is nice that RC gives you the choice. Drink vouchers often get you better vodka. Especially if the staff knows you are tipping. 😉 And that was a totally on topic post.

frank808 Posted March 19, 2018 #3170 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We just turned Diamond after our cruise last week (woo hoo). Our first sailing as Diamond will be April 28 on the Freedom. Is the Diamond lounge that door off to the side of Olive or Twist? What are the hours for the lounge and what exactly is offered in there? I know there are appetizers and beverages a few hours a night, but what if offered the rest of the day? Thanks Jess Yesnit is the door on thenstarboard side of the lounge. D lounge is open 24 hours a day. There is happy hour from 430pm to 8pm with appetizers at the same time. Continental breakfast is served during breakfast hours. The rest of the time there is the cappuccino machine to use. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums We just started cruising 3.5 years ago so have no experience when the d were kicked out of cl. Have only been on oasis and allure when they have been converted to sl. We are not missing anything as we have not experienced being excluded from the different lounges. I just take what royal gives me and know that this is their club and we play by their rules. If we don't like it then we can vote with our $$. I do not expect them to be loyal to me...only to the money i am willing to spend with them. Their product is very good or we would not be spending our vacation money with them. The perks they provide are a bonus and it keeps me cruising with them. When the perks no longer matter to me then my money will be spent elsewhere. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard54 Posted March 19, 2018 #3174 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I thought LL (Loyalty Lounge) That would probably start an argument all by itself, How many times do you need to cruise to be considered loyal? or is it how often? if you cruise on something else are you not loyal and take it away? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
