I believe you and Bucky were on a cruise then otherwise we could have possibly all had a meal together. We are looking forward to the DL on Independence in May Ahh...naturally I should have realized you were currently visiting "the land of the mouse". 😉 Happy to hear you had a great time in our stomping grounds over here. Have a fantabulous time on the Indy! We are once again boarding the Lady O two weeks from today...same cabin again for the third time in as many months. 🙂 Speaking of the DL...we usually prefer the DL to the CL on Enchantment, but this time, we could not find a seat, though never had a problem finding a seat in the CL. Met some really great people during our little four night cruise. Edited February 10, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met some really great people during our little four night cruise. Last weekend there were only 4 Pinnacles, 54 D+ but well over 100 D on Enchantment. Suites had lots of families so they were not in the C lounge often. The CL was basically empty. We went to the CL one night about 6PM and there was just one other couple there. I understand the D lounge was packed with folks hanging out in there well before the cocktail hours started. Walked past Schooner bar and Boleros several times during the lounge hours and both bars were empty ( except for superbowl Sunday) . Folks wanting a drink could have gotten one with no wait at these bars. They had a nice continental breakfast in both lounges, DECAF coffee in the machines and both concierges are terrific!

DaniDanielle Posted February 10, 2019 #85 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Only hurt people who can’t find a seat because of overcrowding. It is crowded enough with people who earned Diamond and above. People sneaking in are going to ruin it for everybody else, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted February 10, 2019 #86 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I must agree that it’s wrong to sneak in to get free drinks. It took us a long time to reach Diamond Status. Those that sneak in to get drinks are Entitled and think they’re better than everyone else. It’s wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janman Posted February 11, 2019 Author #91 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) As the original poster I just wanted to know the policy. Sometimes cruise line extend privileges to family occupying the same cabin. Wouldn’t even think about sneaking in! Will use our 3 credited drinks when she is with us! Everyone worked too hard at Cruising to have to deal with crashers! Edited February 11, 2019 by Janman Spelling errors 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismch Posted February 11, 2019 #92 Share Posted February 11, 2019 We were asked for our cruise cards for the first 3 days. If any new people came in the hostess always asked to see the cards. And she was adamant about it being a closed lounge for D or D+ only!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll hurt YOU when, bc of cheaters and overcrowding, Royal increases the number of points required to gain Diamond status. Ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Sounds pretty similar. We had four Pinnies (both couples were in the CL every night), 47 D+, and 87 Ds. It was only the DL that was crowded.
