The Demise of the Suite Lounge

[twangster]

Well I think I've seen just about everything on the internet now. 

 

Suite guests complaining there are not any Pinnacle in the Suite Lounge.  

 

Never saw this thread coming.

This is unacceptable. The cost of suites on Oasis class are expensive. 
I hope every suite guest gives a poor rating about this 11-11 fiasco. 
So.... Can I pay for a drink? 
So ... is the bartender there to get drinks for people eating?
If I can pay for a drink in the SL, they can hand me one for free if in a suite. 
 

Will someone clarify this for me?

Can I pay for a drink, but not get one for free unless eating in the SL?

 

Thanks

I am interested to hear more about this also. This might be a bigger deal breaker for me than getting a covid test. This is one suite benefit I am not willing to give up.

Are there any Concierge Lounges left?

Pre-Covid there was one on Brilliance.

Have fun and good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor

Pretty much all the old smaller ships and Anthem/Ovation

FWIW, Pins probably got banned because they historically like to rearrange the furniture. 😉

 

A big no no these days😇

That was much larger and nicer than any other concierge lounge , wasn’t crowded on our cruise.

You've never sailed Anthem?

Whether the Pins are in or out, I just want them to return to 11-11 service on the O class.  Disappointing that they aren't offering that right now.  Of course, I realize that they are at reduced staffing and reduced capacity right now, so hopefully it will go back to the regular operating hours soon.  Or maybe they will use the current situation to implement a permanent change in operating hours as I also believe that many companies are using COVID as an excuse to reduce service (but never price !) and I think it stinks.

Perhaps it depends on your point of view.  The Diamond lounge is often over crowded as well, so they may have made that problem worse.  

 

Yup...that was exactly my point.

Didn't realize you spent a lot of time in the SL on Oasis ships🤔

I hope they keep everyone but the suite guests out of the suite lounge permanently.  If Pinnacles (or anyone else for that matter) want access, they can cruise in a suite.  I'm tired of coming in and finding it mobbed.  

I agree, and I'm Pinnacle

I haven't been in the SL on Allure or Harmony but I agree with what the poster was saying.

I agree.

As a Regular Suite passenger his comments would be relevant.

Anthem threw out the D+ and made it a Suite Lounge.  They were just waiting for the new sign, according to Ricardo.

That was 'temporary'😉

 

No change to deck plans yet

That's the last place that will updated. The fact that Odyssey's is an SL indicates that all Q class CLs will likely become SLs.

Massive CL

The CL (great aft view and it's own restroom) on Anthem was one of the few things I liked about that ship.

What surprised me was I had done navigator several times in suites and really disliked the small enclosed lounge , then on the smaller brilliance much larger with great view and outside area and a real bar that you could sit out. I had a minor problem and concierge gave us a huge credit towards future cruise.

All of those Voyager and Freedom CL's are gone now. Replaced with SL up on 14.
