DoctorRN Posted January 27, 2020 #527 Share Posted January 27, 2020 On 1/25/2020 at 2:26 PM, Bobal said: It has been for the cruises since Christmas and, to be fair, there have been very high numbers of D+ and P (165 D+ and 33 P on our sailing). We were informed by email around 3 weeks before departure. They are not allowed in this week but next week's cruisers (starting Monday) still haven't received the email so fingers crossed. Bobal. Are you still on Jewel? Did they continue with suite lounge today? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeR&R Posted January 27, 2020 #528 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I was recently on the Anthem (Jan 5th) and will shortly be on Serenade for a B2B2B. The email regarding D+ removal from the CL's was sent out every sailing I am on, so while attending the Suite/Pinnacle gathering on the Helipad, I questioned one of the managers. He stated that he had been under the impression that the removal of D+ from the CL was permanent. When I asked why he had come to that conclusion, he seemed uncomfortable, avoided answering and changed the direction of the conversation. Perhaps, he had said too much.

Taking me back to my crew member days, reminding me of that sinking feeling when you saw 'diamond doors' on your schedule. On The plus side, I think I found the guy that lectured me for a good 20 minutes about how he was actually Diamond++ and how it really is a thing, I think he got me confused with someone who cared... See #John&LaLa I told you there was eye rolling going on. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are sending the letter out on every cruise regardless of numbers. It is the ice breaker for getting people ready for the permanence of the change until they can make new Suite Lounge signs to replace the old CL signs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was established about a month ago when it seems every ship was getting the letters - all the early "D+ getting kicked out of the CL" threads were deleted by the mods for some reason. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a D+ with over 350 points I don't refer to myself as D++. Diamond doors is a shift we have, usually when theres an overflow and there's someone at the door physically checking cards to allow people in. Usually done by cruise, sports and youth staff and some supervisors. It's a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbancroft Posted January 27, 2020 #545 Share Posted January 27, 2020 We have been on Anthem 3 times and have had access to cl lounge on the first 2. We thought it was a long walk and since we do not drink I only went for morning coffee. Now we no longer book a room on deck 12. In 2 weeks we are on deck 10 and will enjoy music hall this is a much better place to meet and a lot closer to dining options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These same people would be the first to complain about chair hogs. Lol In my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
