voyager70 Posted March 19, 2018 #3226 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Depends on the concierge. Some will allow it but some don’t. We asked and were told no kids on one trip but on another it was fine. Just ask and then you will know the feeing of that concierge. They know the # of diamonds, etc and if would likely be a problem on your given cruise. At 7 months if they are sleeping or whatever many won’t mind. Technically kids are not permitted in the DL during cocktail hour. They are permitted in the CL.

tugboat Posted March 19, 2018 #3227 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I doubt that they 'don't want C&A members' to sail with them and take up valuable cabins.....but those loyal cruisers do 'talk up their product quite a bit' to then newer cruisers or to people who have never cruised before. Not any longer, we don’t promote the line. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post and very valid point about the great PR for RC given by the loyalists. Unlikely judging from some posts, that those loyal cruisers seem not to enjoy the company of newbies and will ensconce themselves in their lounges and separate dinning rooms.

That's not true at all. I love meeting new cruisers, chatting with them and hearing their thoughts and experiences. We're not a bunch of snobs.

Rare LMaxwell Posted March 19, 2018 #3232 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Can you bring a 7 month old with you into the lounge? I know there are 3 drinks loaded to get a drink elsewhere, but chicken wings sounds fantastic! Yes.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums On my last cruise we made 3 new "cruise friends" in the DL. All very nice and interesting people with diverse backgrounds. I'm in corporate B2B sales and solutions so maybe because I'm gregarious by nature, but never have trouble making new friends onboard a ship. If we have empty chairs at our table and someone is looking for a spot we always invite them to sit with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted March 19, 2018 #3242 Share Posted March 19, 2018 What good does it do to promote Royal among like minded cruisers?? Same reason they have a Presidents Cruise. I wasn't aware of some of the unique itineraries that Royal did until hearing about them from some more well-traveled guests. Also, we have made friends that we stay in contact with now for many years. If we were to discuss cruising together again the default would probably be to start with RCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
