HBE4 Posted December 23, 2019 #51 Share Posted December 23, 2019 22 minutes ago, Biker19 said: So, here's a PR question for RCI: do you say that D+ are no longer allowed in the CL or do you make a new sign and call the room an SL? Which would D+ take with less of an uproar? Neither. There is going to be an uproar either way. Look how active the many "losing access to so-and-so lounge" threads are. By far, more popular than the tipping, chair hog and dress code threads combined. 😁 For those that value lounge access as an important part of their cruise experience and are on a first name basis with many of the employees, changing the sign from CL to SL will not fool them as to the true intent. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted December 23, 2019 #52 Share Posted December 23, 2019 We like the option of choosing between the DL and CL but if RC decides no more CLs or D+ will no longer have access to the CLs (fleetwide) no biggie for us as we prefer the DL over the CL on the ships we've cruised on so far. Freedom class is the biggest class and Radiance class (favorite) being the smallest class of ships we've cruised on. Rhapsody (vision class) will be the smallest class for us in March 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted December 23, 2019 #55 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I was really surprised to see a CL on Odyssey's deck plans. It's not a copy/paste error because it can be found on deck 13, not deck 12 and on Spectrum that's cabins back there on both 12 and 13. So someone deliberately placed a CL on Odyssey's deck 13. At least for now... Edited December 23, 2019 by twangster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might become obvious soon once we get a look in the MeyerWreft Hall 6 with an aft shot of the ship. @Lloyd555 might find something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'puts hand up' ...... personally I think all this 'free lounge' stuff will not be here in 2025 - far too many people in too small a place not making the cruise line any 'more' money. It'll go on actual spend not on historical spend! ie if you've booked a suite there'll be some sort of remittance, but nothing more for anyone else than maybe a slightly bigger discount on their cruise/drinks package/dining package or more free drinks on their seapass cards! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the date distinctly as it was the day I turned D!!!!! In that September they introduced the Diamond Event with that trolley and bubbles and wine! It will be interesting to see if the D+ are allowed in the CL or not on the unpopular, not selling well, Dubai cruises..! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we ended up loving the "Diamond Event". The best one was on Freedom, held in the large forward lounge. Just beer/wine/cheap bubbly and discounted drinks...plus "bar mix"...but wow we had a great time. 🙂 Met a lot of great people. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree my DS friend....we prefer the DL to the CL on Freedom and Vision class. Though we like the DL on Radiance sisters, we prefer and would miss the half circle bar that is in the CL. Most of the time it seems the DL is nuts (even with overflow) in the DL versus the CL on the Radiance ladies. Looking forward to your report on how you liked the DL on Rhapsody...we love that lounge! 🙂 And hopefully Alan will still be there when you board! 🍷🥂😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
