molly361 Posted November 11, 2022 #127 Share Posted November 11, 2022 And to add to the mix I think that the cruise lines should require guests to cruise a certain amount (don't have any ideas on how much) in order to maintain their status, especially for the upper tiers I'm sure this is not a popular idea😇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with I'm not personally familiar with Anthem. But I'd guess you wrre never in a Lounge. Maybe the Conference Center on 13 CL is on Deck 12 below. Don't see any rooms off of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 11, 2022 #130 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I actually don't get it. The DL is...IMHO...boring, over crowded, and you still have to use your drink vouchers. I use it for coffee in the morning, but only if the CL/SL machine is broken. I love...love..the new voucher program. Why do I need to go into a small lounge to use them? Too many other interesting venues all around the ship to use them at. Happy hour is any hour...at any lounge/bar. 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to hang out after breakfast waiting on cabin to be cleaned, but now Laura asks for only 1 service a day, dinner. So we come and go as we please. #vouchersrock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the only DL on the ship because it was definitely a lounge .They had food and beverages.When we left we told the crew members at the door that we stopped to spend some time with our friends.I am visibly disabled.Perhaps seeing this they did not have a problem .I have no idea. It is a moot point now and does not warrant further discussion.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two times over the last four weeks that I have ventured into the DL here on Wonder, was due to the SL coffee machine being out of milk for my morning Latte. Both times the machines (both of them) were messed up in the DL. The pax in there were actually quite rude trying to elbow their way to those machines, only to find them not usable. I have since found I can pick up a carton or two of milk at Park Cafe to keep in my fridge, if the SL is out of milk in the machine. Problem solved. 😉 When cabin being cleaned in the morning...we do our "ship walk" all over this huge vessel...always an interesting venture.

Park Cafe just ended up being so convenient to grab one of those little sealed pints of milk to stash in the fridge. I actually prefer milk (as is in the machines) to cream.

So I haven’t stepped in the DL on Oasis since maybe 2013 or 14. Once I did sky class and experienced the CK/SL, it was hard to go back. For anyone reading this who might be confused, since The Amplification, the DL on Oasis is now on Deck Four, forward, like most of the other O-class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only done Sky class but if the ship has a Coastal Kitchen, my wife insist that we dine there so we've only done Sky suite since then on Oasis and Quantum class ships.

shipgeeks Posted November 12, 2022 #144 Share Posted November 12, 2022 On our most recent Enchantment cruise, we were in CL during the day, enjoying the peace and quiet, when the door opened and two couples walked in. The noise level shot up, and it became apparent that one couple were bringing non-D friends in. Ongoing calls across the room about the sandwiches, cookies, beverages, then all repeated, urging the visitors to take some more. Then the guests came close to breaking the coffee machine through unfamiliarity, then the door, due to unfamiliarity, and perhaps the thrill (or nervousness?) of being in someone else's private club. IMO, admittance is an earned privilege, not to be abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she shares your address, have her linked to your C&A account number and she will get your status. Either way, having a C&A account before she sails is to her benefit. I love the creativity here!
