SHIP TRAVELER Posted December 30, 2019 #52 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We like the D rooms on the Freedom and Quantum class because of the sea views and overflow areas. That said the "evening event " on our last trans Atlantic on the Jewel (spring 2019)was so great and over the top. We were in a suite and always went to the D event in the night club area instead of the rather dull C room. We were legal at the D event as Diamond plus. It was so fun, such a great spread and good service. I am worried that the Empress three vouchers at a bar policy will spread. We are on the Majesty out of New Orleans in Feb 2020 on a 7 night cruise. I have been reading some rumors that there will not be a nightly event. This is not a short cruise and there are four sea days so I don't get the thinking. I don't mind sharing the CVL with others if that is the issue. We share the other bars. I think we average more than the three drinks in an evening with a carry out bottle of water and a couple of wines in the MDR. Just seems a little unfair compared to what other RCCL cruises serve. Should at least be unlimited drinks at bars during Happy hours like Celebrity Elite program. Just my two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it seems as of Jan sailings we lowly D+ do not have access to the CL. Still stated on the T&C that D+ have access to a non existent benefit.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am even happier that I booked a GS for our next B2B on Radiance as a treat for Bucky turning the big milestone birthday in Alaska. 😉 I would indeed have missed that favorite CL on our favorite ship. 😞 Edited December 30, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji6] I would indeed have missed that favorite CL on our favorite ship. [emoji20] Enjoy your b2b north and south in Alaska. It is a great cruise and so much different than Caribbean. I love falling asleep staring at the landscape floating by. It is great when at midnight there is so much light to see the great outdoors. As you know the scenery is incredible. Have a happy new year. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been lucky the last three times and have scored our favorite corner aft cabin #9256 with that oh so fantabulous view of both sides of the inland passageway both north and south. But this time...gave it up to treat Bucky to a GS...we book the full suites every once in awhile and the GS is his favorite! At least the view will be different on the separate legs. 😉 And now...happy to know we don't have to give up going to the CL either. 🙂 Though we still had good times in the DL as well. Had great views as we slid out of Skagway from there once. I can't fault either lounge. Edited December 31, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve sailed empress and received 3 drink vouchers ( on our card) to be used at specific times, for specific drinks ( same as the DL menu) and nothing more. Of course we received the usual other offerings that are placed on the card. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will D's be excluded from the DL 24/7 or just during happy hours? We will be diamond after our cruise next month. I like the quiet of the suite lounge. Wondering if we will be able to use the DL or if I will need to get suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Hudson Posted January 13, 2020 #75 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just an FYI — 2020 changes. Got off Grandeur yesterday. CL is now officially Pinnacle and Suites only. Sign placed on doorway to lounge. Lounge was very “lonely”. Very few people, if any, both day and night. Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
