If it’s a SL, nobody was ever kicked out of the CL nor was it converted or renamed. How do you know it’s a SL? M8 Agree. As we speak no one has been kicked out of the lounge. 🤣 Currently it's listed as a CL on RCs website which as we all know isn't always up to date . Figured when cruising resumes it will have been renamed during the shutdown and as other ships in the fleet were being renamed or changed over from the CL to SL prior to CV-19. If the CL nameplate is sill there and when cruising resumes the LA will take a piece of masking tape and cover the CL nameplate and write with a sharpie SL on the masking tape. 🤣 Edited January 4, 2021 by davekathy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply hope to get back on any ship and would gladly give up a lounge for the chance to sail again. When I started sailing 30 years ago - I had no lounge and must have been perfectly happy as I've sailed many times since. Recently, (well that is relative) we sailed ships ( Empress and Majesty) with NO LOUNGE. M That is great that you don't care about the lounge, alphawave has booked a GS and is interested in using the suite lounge. Your cruising history really doesn't apply to their simple question.

We will have had Covid vaccine. Any word if the Suite lounge will be open? Yes, your accommodation should allow access to the suite or concierge lounge. Some ships have a suite lounge for suite guests and some have a concierge lounge for suite guests. We sailed Grandeur last in 8/2019 and I think the lounge was called Concierge Lounge. At this point, there is no way to know what will be open on a ship. enjoy M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cruising history really doesn't apply to their simple question. Yes - you are correct - I made a separate post addressing OP's question. However, there were numerous posts about concierge lounges/suite lounges/ etc. I stand by the comments that I don't care what it is called. AND, if I recall, the lounge in Grandeur might be called the concierge lounge. At least it was the last time we sailed Grandeur in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a ship NEVER had a CL, then it’s impossible to get kicked out of the CL. Harmony and Symphony, NEVER had a CL but people still complained they were kicked out of the CL on those ships. 😇 M8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some googling and found this interesting thread 🙂 Suite Lounge vs. Concierge Lounge? - Royal Caribbean International - Cruise Critic Community On the ships you've been on in the past, did you like the SL or the CL and if you are D or higher the DL better? IOO on the ships we've been on we've liked the DL or the CL mainly due to location. So we always went to the DL on those ships. We've never done a suite so I don't know if there's any difference as far as additional perks/benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always been happy and preferred the DL on the ships we've been on. We hope on our next (?) RC cruise we will still have access to the DL. As Bob Daylen sang, "The times, they are a changin".

Sure there will be pushback in which case they might dedicate a venue to Pinnacles like they do on any cruise with high top cruisers. The bumper cars would work ,all fighting for the window seats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
