mafig Posted December 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2017 We've never been loyal to any one cruise line in the past. However, lately we've been doing mostly Celebrity cruises, and now find ourselves Elite on X, which makes us, of course, Diamond on Royal Caribbean. I was reading the thread "What's your favorite Diamond Perk" and have decided our next cruise will be on Royal. It was our first. We've always liked our cruises on Royal, but for some reason we haven't been on them that much lately. Can you tell me In your opinion Which ship has the nicest Diamond Lounge? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Oasis and Allure have the best DL we've seen, though we have not yet cruised on Quantum class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted December 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I agree with Allure being the best because I haven't been on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananawindnj Posted December 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2017 We love the D lounge in Grandeur. Great view, lots of local people to interact with. Great hot Buffett and many drink servers with no waiting. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted December 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Oasis and Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbeanboy Posted December 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Another vote for Allure. Anthem's DL is not big enough for all the Diamond members onboard, however their CL is big and with a very nice view at the back of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted December 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2017 It is hard to compare places that are so different from one another. In the purest sense, I would say Oasis & Allure. But the Anthem's DL overflows into the Music Hall, which is a wonderful thing. Radiance class ships (usually) overflow into the adjoining VCL, which is also good. If you like sitting outside, the Freedom class ships have outside seating areas (when there aren't construction materials out there). To me, it's not the room. It's the concierge and the servers, and of course, your fellow cruisers. These vary from cruise to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted December 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I like the Voyager and Freedom class ships with the outside seating area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Any DL (or CL when D+ are allowed) is good enough for us...the only one I didn't really care for was the DL on Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted December 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Another vote for Allure. Anthem's DL is not big enough for all the Diamond members onboard, however their CL is big and with a very nice view at the back of the ship. There' the overflow to the Music Hall. The best is the Radiance & Voyager class with the D lounge on the Viking Crown Lounge and overlooking the pool area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairywren Posted December 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I like the Voyager and Freedom class ships with the outside seating area. Just FMI, is the outside area only accessible from the lounge or can others access it? Not been diamond on that class before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 17, 2017 D+ are allowed in every CL. Sorry...I guess I should have said "when" there were CL...they seem to be disappearing quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hubby and I prefer the Diamond lounges on Freedom Class ships (Liberty, Freedom and Independence.) What we like are the large windows and fabulous views they offer. Restrooms are near by which are shared with the spacious public lounge next door. I really miss that great view in Harmony's fourth floor closed in, windowless lounge. Oasis and Allure did have the best lounges. I don't know if they still do because Royal is changing that over to a restaurant. I surely do miss that great lounge that even served small lunches.

Seaside2358 Posted December 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I like the DL on Adventure because of the outdoor area but Oasis is very nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted December 17, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well, if you are going to judge based on restrooms, Oasis & Allure have the only Diamond Clubs with bathrooms INSIDE them. [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted December 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I would have to go with Oasis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted December 17, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Haven’t sailed on Allure, so Oasis is my favorite DL thus far. Love the view and having the second floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted December 17, 2017 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Allure/Oasis, my least favorite is the Harmony, which has their club located in a small windowless room by the ice rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvraj Posted December 17, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I agree with Allure being the best because I haven't been on Oasis. It's the same on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvraj Posted December 17, 2017 #21 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I like the DL on Oasis and Allure because of the views. One of my favourites but also like the DL on Navigator and Indy/Liberty because of the outdoor areas. The DL on Anthem is in a good central location but in terms of ambience, I didn't feel as comfortable there compared to other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted December 17, 2017 #22 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Independence DL has a great outside seating area. The DL on Quantum class is great too and overflows into the Music Hall if needed. Oasis and Allure have good views too.

Rare John&LaLa Posted December 17, 2017 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Blaze overflow on Oasis is in a great location to grab a drink before ice show, comedy club, or theater Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted December 17, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just FMI, is the outside area only accessible from the lounge or can others access it? Not been diamond on that class before. You have access it from inside the lounge. There are stairs that come up to the area from the outside but they are closed off with a gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted December 17, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 17, 2017 We have found the one on Oasis to be very loud. We have preferred Radiance class DL`S Sent from my SM-P550 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
