jobryan56 Posted November 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Does anyone know where or if there’s a Elite Lounge on Caribbean Princess? Looked through the deck plans on Princess.com and couldn’t find anything listed. Your thoughts and input are greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted November 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Likely Skywalkers, but there will be a notification in your cabin with the daily specials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted November 21, 2020 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2020 No "elite" lounge. Normally between the 5pm to 7pm time frame those that have elite & platinum loyalty status plus those in full suites can go and get some less expensive drinks, around $5/$6 and some h'orderves. The less expensive drinks are only the 5 or 6 listed on the special menu. Other drinks are at the regular price. On the Caribbean Princess the location is normally Skywalker's, but could be Club Fusion. It depends on how many passengers qualify and attend. There will be a card in your cabin on boarding day. There will be one evening when it's not open. Note: this is how it was pre pandemic. Could change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare patrickmoran Posted November 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It will be interesting if the perk survives the new norm. The buffet will change radically so would this have to too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted November 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The PES lounge on the Caribbean Princess is in Club Fusion between 5pm-7pm Promenade aft. Really nice touch just before dinner, one of my favorite treats on the ship. Great atmosphere, good food, and great vodka martini's. If you are Platinum, Elite or in a Suite you should definitely take advantage of it, the PES Happy Hour (that's what I call it) is a great way to start your evening's.

Ombud Posted November 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Apparently it changes alot. On my 2019 Canada / Colonial America cruise the nightly PES event was in Skywalkers. The Captains Circle event was in Club Fusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

san diego sue Posted November 23, 2020 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2020 On my Canada Greenland cruise in August 2019 (RT NY). There were over 1,000 Elites on board.Adding the suites and Platinums. So with that huge number it was held in Club Fusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this is all said and done I think many with the idea that cruising is going to change "radically" are in for an unpleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather be served by crew members than be standing in line behind a bunch of slimeball passengers who use they're filthy dirty😝hands.

seapals2 Posted February 14, 2021 #17 Share Posted February 14, 2021 We only went on a couple of evenings. Disappointed couldn’t just get a discounted glass of wine instead of reduced price cocktails. The cocktail menu was very limited .. couldn’t even have a regular martini or G&T. Not that well attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted February 14, 2021 #18 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I have had this lounge in both Skywalkers and in Club Fusion, on various ships. It has always been great! Love the food. I sure hope this perk will continue in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grego Posted February 18, 2021 #25 Share Posted February 18, 2021 On 11/22/2020 at 1:43 AM, caribill said: and the reason is: This is the correct answer above. It's all about the number of persons that qualify to attend. A lot of the most recent past voyages had so many that Skywalkers was used most nights they didn't have a previous function scheduled there.
