johnrobert57 Posted July 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Was on Majesty a few weeks ago. Yes....they designate a part of Viking Crown for this. Great wait staff. Ask for Alfredo.....a wonderful guy. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YlangYlangF9PB3E Posted July 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Lucky you..enjoy! I’m jealous...no DL on their other small ship, Empress. Is that the only ship without a Diamond nightly event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbysbabe Posted July 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Lucky you..enjoy! I’m jealous...no DL on their other small ship, Empress. Is that the only ship without a Diamond nightly event? Are you sure about this? Sailed last July on the Cuba itinerary out or Tampa to Cuba! The Diamond event was held on an outside deck off the back of the Boleros. Drinks were served, a staff member brought out a “keyboard” and we did sing-a-longs. As it was outdoors; hubby enjoyed his Cuban Cigar. It was one one of the BEST Diamond events I ever attended! It was hard to find - only about 20 people attend but was truly an awesome evening!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a place for him to sit so we can join him for a cocktail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a wierd thing they started last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diamond event was held on an outside deck off the back of the Boleros. That doesn't seem to be a regularly scheduled event, certainly not daily like on other ships - yes, it can happen, but one can't count on it.

Is there a place for him to sit so we can join him for a cocktail? hello, yes, most of the Viking crown is open to other cruisers, it's just a section that is roped off for the event so you could sit outside the rope with him but still get your drinks by going inside the section to see a waiter.

Rare island lady Posted July 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Almost 95% the time, the VCL is a roped off for the event, but others can use the other section. Thus yes, you can join friends in that non roped off area. Just use your drink vouchers, as you can all over the ship. Our last cruise on MJ was a rare 5 night, before refurb, and was heavily loaded with upper tier &A members. The ship took over the entire VCL for the nightly event due to the higher numbers. There were officers at the elevator doors and stairs checking sea pass cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinNole Posted July 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks. I knew we could use our vouchers but we've enjoyed being up in the VCL and wanted our friend to be able to enjoy it too. This is his first time on Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his first time on Majesty. It should be just fine, and hopefully not the rare time that they take over the whole lounge. Enjoy your cruise!! :) The crew on MJ really do go all out to make you feel welcome. They are great. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nivek82 Posted July 26, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2018 When we were on MJ last year in Nov on the weekend cruise anyone could sit anywhere in VCL because there was not many there. They did take seapasses for EVERY drink but there were no limits. I think this allows an easy way to make sure only the people that are to get something for free are given and the rest are charged. Worked well for us as we had first time cruisers with us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty G Posted July 27, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Make sure to check your Cruise Compass for the start time. Actually that and other info is in a letter left in your cabin by the Loyalty Ambassador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmy2303 Posted August 1, 2018 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2018 My fiancé and I are sailing on the Majesty for Christmas. I am Diamond, but he is not. Am I understanding correctly that I will be the only one allowed in the Diamond section of the lounge? He will not be able to enjoy any of the Diamond perks with me?
