Instead of taking away seats from guests that finance them they should feel embarrassed and leave the SL and costal kitchen and for once go and pay for a drink...instead of complaining for onboard credit Wow...just wow.

Did a ton of consecutive cruises in 2017 on Oasis. Both pre and post Pinnacle So folks jumped a rope and went to a different section of the terminal? We did not wait in the regular VIP areas, but were in a separate section. We did several B2B, B3B from PC and didn't see others try to board with consecutive cruisers. Now years prior, when we were in the front of the VIP section, yes folks ( no way to determine C&A level as not all P wear badges, so those rushing on board could have been suite guests or anyone from D+ and up) seemed to rush the agents when the B2b were escorted back on. Last few B3B on Enchantment, we were escorted back on prior to the opening of check in so no creepers. Honestly, if someone has to jump a rope and sneak in with others, they have problems. If it is that important to them, let them go ahead of me. I feel badly that they have such an empty life that getting on a ship prior to their assigned entry is something they have to look forward to.

Cannot imagine you and Bucky sailing in an inside cabin instead of your usual Grand Suite when you turn Pinnacle in 12 to 18 months. See you Sunday. Have the same dinner reservations as you in the Coastal Kitchen. 60 Pinnacles are cruising with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Pinnacle always get singled out. I would NEVER ask someone how many cruises or cruise points they had. We are occasionally asked and we say something vague like "we have a fair amount" Would anyone walk around the air terminal and ask the passengers how many flights they take each year, or ask their airline status? So weird, ... Last cruise a woman at our lunch table kept bragging that she was on her 6th cruise. At first I was happy she was so excited. Then she asked everyone at the table how many cruises they had. Most had fewer than 6, some were new cruisers, When she got to us we said our usual "a fair amount" She then said, again, that she had 6, so she wins! Honestly, who cares? M. I read this and I wondered if I may have been accidentally “rude”, in asking folks how many cruises they have been on. I love to meet other cruisers and hear about the places they have been. We often join folks from our roll call on excursions and spend time sharing stories, never thought of it as rude to ask how many cruises they have been on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night and day difference when SL/CK overwhelmed with P’s as was the case on Presidents Cruise. So yea, that makes me have some idea regarding the level of service to Suite Guests. You were there. Don’t understand how you can defend the SL/CK situation when overwhelmed with Pins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 18, 2019 #100 Share Posted January 18, 2019 But none on Oasis, so you don't have a basis to declare it's worse than Harmony. Harmony was crowded on President cruise, never, ever, said it wasn't. That was an anomaly and you were warned not to go. Noro cruise Oasis had 42 pins, not overwhelmed at all. Plenty of JS passengers ate in CK. Will be back in 3 weeks, hopefully no Noro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
