Rare JessyCruises Posted March 18, 2018 #3101 Share Posted March 18, 2018 We just turned Diamond after our cruise last week (woo hoo). Our first sailing as Diamond will be April 28 on the Freedom. Is the Diamond lounge that door off to the side of Olive or Twist? What are the hours for the lounge and what exactly is offered in there? I know there are appetizers and beverages a few hours a night, but what if offered the rest of the day? Thanks Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 18, 2018 #3102 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yes. One hour before start of first seating for traditional dining and lasting 3.5 hrs. Nothing but the coffee machine, a good view and a quiet place to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruising sister Posted March 18, 2018 #3104 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Personallly I like the drink vouchers. We travel with non Diamonds and we can enjoy a before dinner drink with our friends. We peeked into the lounge on one trip and turned away due to the crowding. On Celebrity you have to go to the lounge for your perks. It is nice that RC gives you the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted March 18, 2018 #3105 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) True, but only if you insist on the 7-nights being in a single cruise. I, for one, am just as happy with a 4-3 B2B as with a single 7-night cruise. I refuse to cruise on the Oasis-class ships (just too big) so B2B is often the only 7-day option (on RCI). Booked on EN and Mariner already. ;) But don't have to do B2B...live only 20 minutes away. We like going to other ports versus just Nassau and Coco Cay...so western/eastern 7 nights works for us. Actually like the new western itinerary that Harmony will be doing. Diving to Tampa works for us as well, but Tampa RCI cruises are only seasonal.

Rare island lady Posted March 18, 2018 #3106 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'm quite sure the tally is from all views, including a good deal of non-CC members.

tugboat Posted March 18, 2018 #3107 Share Posted March 18, 2018 They already have. Taken away Concierge Lounges on many ships. On those you are still in the Diamond Lounge (which is now getting more crowded and many ships not offering overflow) until you make Pinnacle and can have access to the Suites Lounge...and even then there is no guarantee that will continue. :o If history repeats itself by the time I make Pinnacle we will be kicked out of the suite lounge because there are just too many.

On Celebrity it depends on the sailing. We have used vouchers in other bars on Celebrity. The difference is they count the vouchers in the loyalty lounge too.

Blizzard54 Posted March 18, 2018 #3118 Share Posted March 18, 2018 John we are on Oasis now. I am curious where an overflow for the DL could possibly be? No need for one the past two weeks, I'm curious where your experience has seen one. In December it was in Blazes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
