CarpeCerevisi Posted April 20, 2019 #27 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Celebrity has gone to unlimited drinks from a limited menu at most bars during Elite happy hour. If RCI did the same it might alleviate some of the crowding as some people might not feel they weren't getting their "happy hour's" worth by being limited to only three drinks outside of the DL.

That's a great idea. With the right company in the DL it is an unforgettable place and being a D before the introduction of the DL I for one fully appreciate the benefit of the DL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dedicated lounge for CC Elite and Elite plus. Zenith has Michael's Club. But Celebrity's Sky Lounges are bigger than any of RCs DLs or CLs.

travelwide Posted April 20, 2019 #32 Share Posted April 20, 2019 What party do they have on the majesty? And what do they do for Diamond Plus on the Majesty since they have no dedicated room? How current is the information that you will be providing? You know too well with Royal Caribbean things can change on a daily basis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family has had a young child (4 year old) at the majesty evening event as well as in the diamond lounge on independence. It has never been a problem, and no one has ever said anything negative to them. Both times it was in the winter months. Children in a suite are certainly allowed to be in the lounge with their parents. Children of diamond members actually are diamond members and may also be in the lounge with their parents.

That is interesting, I have found the opposite to be true. I have found that in the DL everyone is comparing C&A levels or talking about all their exotic cruises. I find the SL/CL patrons to be more personal and less class/level oriented. But maybe I am just one of those Stuck Up entitled Suite guests and haven't noticed. By the way I have yet to ever encounter an unruly kid in the SL. But again maybe my nose is stuck up in the air so high I haven't noticed.

M I say children are welcome. Especially in the SL. Many on here don’t care for children and choose not to cruise in times of high numbers of children. Royal caters to families. Often offering kids sail free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelwide Posted April 21, 2019 #40 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks John for your reply. On the empress they do not have any area for diamond, diamond Plus, and above. You can only use the three vouchers on your card. Does the vcl lounge offer free drinks from 5 to 8:30? Or is it just the three vouchers on your seapass card Enjoy your transatlantic! We love the serenade of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to hear a different perspective on the SL personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelwide Posted April 21, 2019 #50 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thank you for your reply. We also sailed the empress and it was only the three drink vouchers. It appears as if the Majesty is giving Diamond Diamond Plus what they are supposed to get -some type of Lounge area with unlimited drinks. I am glad the Majesty will be here in South Florida for the next season. Now hopefully Havana will stay on the itinerary and Americans will be able to travel there. I don't think I could stand another stop in Nassau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
