Pinnacle and Suite reception?

[39august]

On Liberty for about a year or two, we have enjoyed a suite and pinnacle reception held in the Viking Crown from about 11:15 to 11:45 with lots of very tasty appetizers brought around by waiters, and plenty of drinks; pretty much anything you want The food is really great: chicken poppers and empanadas from Sabor, sushi, demitasses of mushroom soup, bacon wrapped scallops, cheeses, meats, some other creative things that I  don't recall and desserts. I am pretty sure Oasis class ships do not do this. How about other ships in the fleet?

Varies, probably with officer complement and other factors. For example, we've been on Adventure B2B, and have it one cruise but not the next.

I know navigator had lunch with food from all the specialty restaurants

We have only had one of these luncheons once -- on Explorer this past June.

I have seen the equivalent on Anthem, Grandeur and Vision.

I  am not speaking of the pinnacle lunch at all. This is a separate function.

[John&LaLa]

Oasis does it either in SL or Dazzles.  Generally right after Top Tier

[Cigar King]

Anthem had one recently, but, I think it was only for suites.  If they had one for suites AND pinnacle, I did not see that.

[39august]

John, isn't top tier in the evening? What I am speaking of is like a brunch. So, from the replies it appears that this certainly varies by ship or may not be done at all.

Merion Mom was correct regarding Anthem.

 

Anthem does have a Suite reception with Pinnacles on the second day at 11 am on each sailing in Vintages along with a separate luncheon for Pinnacle. I don't recall Harmony having a reception for Suite guests when we stayed in a GS in September on the President's cruise.

Top Tier on Oasis ships is held in the afternoon in the Aqua Theater

Top tier on the Oasis is at 10:45 in the aqua theatre followed by a gathering in either Dazzles or the SL.

Thanks, I meant morning.  

[RFerrington]

We had a mid-morning reception with officers on NAV over Thanksgiving 

[ReneeFLL]

We had it on the Explorer this October on a TP.

[SRF]

Grandeur last Aug had it in the morning of the first full day.  Got to talk to a number of officers.  Good food and free drinks (alcoholic).

 

It was followed by a reception for all veterans.  Same food, but veterans did not get free drinks. 😄

I am searching for info about the Liberty otS and type of reception/celebration for new pinnacle members.

 

has anyone experienced the new changes while on the Liberty, specifically?

i am wondering what to expect.

 

thanks for help!

I was on the Liberty in a suite this past October and I know they had a suite/Pinnacle reception in the Olive or Twist Lounge, but we didn’t attend so I can’t give any specifics. But it did take place. 

[39august]

My original post stated this is what is done on Liberty. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "new Pinnacles". Those making  points to become Pinnacle are generally recognized at the Top Tier Party on the cruise they earn the necessary points. I am not aware of any other recognition the first time you cruise after becoming Pinnacle. Hint: if you go to the suite/pinnacle reception on LB, be 10 minutes early to get a good seat. And usually they start serving the drinks a few minutes before schedule.

We were on Freedom last week and they also had this nice reception.

We were on the Explorer this past August.

 

We were invited to two receptions like this.

 

On boarding day we were invited to the lounge (Cannot remember the name, but it was next to the Diamond lounge)

The appetizers were lame, but drinks were a plenty from the bar.

 

The second one was halfway thru the cruise and the appetizers were much more plentiful, but champagne and coffee tea and such.

 

It was OK.

Have been invited very recently as pins to the reception on the Anthem.  It was held in Vintages. We were sailing in a JS.

The last two we did on Oasis (one in the SL, second in Dazzles) was pretty ho-hum.  Officers wandering around, drinks/happy-tisers passed around... but that's it.  No music, nothing really interesting.  Could pretty much do the same thing any night in the SL/CL.
