RCCL new Diamond Lounge Policy?

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I am well on my way to getting there, probably earlier in life than most ever do. But I will still never wear it, just as I have never worn any of the other *status* pins along the way.

 

I’m simply just trying to understand why this pin would be so different that I would need to wear it and make everyone go “look at me, I am special”.

If it doesn’t bother you the why would you think it makes anyone feel special?

I don’t wear shorts into the MDR but don’t care if others do. It’s my vacation and not theirs or anyone else’s.

Why do you flaunt it in your signature?? Same thing

Now that's funny

I think I'm confused. There's some discussion about whether or not to wear a name tag to the DL. Are we talking about the C&A PIN or a name tag? Does the Pinnacle pin have the person's name engraved on it? I have never seen one up close.

Ah! Now it all falls into place.

Outside of the Diamond Club, CL, or SL most passengers probably would have no idea what the badge means, If I got to 700 points you bet I would wear it, with pride.

It's not a bad thing, and doesn't make passengers status driven. Almost all of the pinnacles I've met are very nice people. Those that weren't, were probably a**holes at D or D+. LOL :cool:

Is it really necessary for officers on the ship to wear a uniform? Status...

This whole thread is riddled with baseless speculation.

Agreed.

If you are proud to be a grandparent, you show off their pictures.

If you are proud of your travels, you put souvenirs in a curio cabinet.

If you are a veteran, you might display awards.

If you are proud of your car, you wax it and drive it around.

The list goes on and on but I think the point is whether it is viewed as something to be proud of or used to flaunt. It all goes back to who the person is and how he/she acts, not what they wear.

Now THIS is something I can definitely agree with!

You do??

Not my side of the pond.

How would you feel if Royal eliminated overflow areas on those cruises packed with Diamonds and above?

John - never know when you are kidding or serious. On recent Oasis saw lots of pinnacle badges in ship bars and the DL. The few times we went to the DL, we saw a small group with badges (some with out) enjoying the venue.

Semi serious. I used to wonder why someone with Pinnacle level would be in the DL vs the SL on Oasis.

Do you still wonder or you still bounce between both?

When we were on Oasis last month, there were these two guys from suites that came to the DL every night. We got into a conversation with them one night and they said their wives were off at the casino at that time each night and they liked coming to the DL instead of the SL. They didn't say why. I guess "One Man's Ceiling is Another Man's Floor" (Paul Simon)

Guess you can't really understand it if you don't have one.

You deserve the opportunity to flaunt your status as not many people will achieve Pinnacle status.

I saw a lady on Freedom in June near the DL wearing a Pinnacle badge.I told her i love your badge and she smiled and said Thank You.

Just at breakfast and lunch.

 

Curious how wearing the name tag will go over in DL.

 

We've only worn on MJ so far.

Wear it with pride John.

You have earned it and deserve to be acknowledged.

I thought it was Laura who earned it and John is now just tagging along. ;p

Explain how there is any reason at all to wear it other than to “show off” or “flaunt their status” or “be recognized for your achievement” as others have said the reasons are? You aren’t wearing it for yourself, because you know when you are pinnacle, obviously. You aren’t wearing it for the crew, because they will know who you are on day 1. So then why? It’s for others to notice lol. Which in many cultures, trying to be noticed is tacky. I’m not alone in this thinking am I?

As you said, it’s not your proghtive to pay attention or care what anyone else is wearing in the MDR. Which I 100% agree. Just like the pins, I don’t care at all that people wear them I just simply said I think it’s gaudy and tacky.

It’s somehow only ok for a pineapple to care about what others are doing or what they are thinking because they are forcing the fact that they are the highest status on people around them by wearing it.

I’ve been on many cruises that Craig was sailing on. Ate meals with him and many other pinnacles. Sat in the b2b lounge with him. Never once have I seen him wear it and he’s at what 4K points? As has also been said, it’s all about how you act. No one else other than you, really cares if you are pinnacle. It’s a great achievement yes.... but no one else cares.

Do military members wear their medals of achievement any time they are in public?? How about Olympic medalists? The list goes on....

I was in the 101st Airborne Division during Nam. It wasn’t popular to serve during that time. I have several hats with a Screaming Eagle that I wear proudly. Life lessons tell me don’t sweat the small stuff. Things could be much worse.

Obviously, it bothers you they wear their pins.
