On the Grandeur the DL can only be accessed by walking through the Schooner Bar. It's become a gathering place for D+ and P's to sit and comment on the freeloaders passing through. freeloaders? 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly after 5:00 she would pick up her clipboard and face the room. Once she started checking cabin numbers about 1/4 of the room would get up and walk out. Good for her!! The DL on EN does seem to be a magnet for "sneak ins" for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilkySal Posted April 23, 2019 #64 Share Posted April 23, 2019 We were on Oasis last year with our adult kids and their significant others. When they came to get DH and I in the DL for dinner, the concierge allowed all 6 of them inside to get us and even got each of them a drink! They all had the DX drink package but we were still uncomfortable with them being in there, so DH and we quickly left with them each night. We tipped the concierge generously that week for being so accommodating. Our DD had gotten recently engaged (now married), so we were all in celebration mode! Hope we didn't ruffle too many feathers!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THis is our first crossing, and first cruise that we have ever had to fly home from! OMG! 41 cruises in a row where I just packed whatever I thought I might possibly need! Last cruise my suitcase weighed in at 76 pounds! LOL! How are we ever going to get this down to 50 pounds each? Leave space for purchases during your trip. We will usually cram our backpacks with heavy stuff and then weigh the luggage to make sure we aren't over the weight limit. We then put the heavy stuff back into the luggage so we don't have to wear a heavy backpack all the time. Right before we check the luggage we stick the heavy stuff back into our backpacks. On 4/21/2019 at 2:58 PM, lovesthebeach2 said: Every cruise we’ve been on lately they check everyone for the first few days until they got to know us, then occasionally checked when they didn’t recognize someone. On our last cruise they politely had to tell many people to leave on various nights. I just got off the Independence last week. Mihee (Meehee?) was the DL concierge. She went around with her clip board introducing herself to everyone and checking us off the list. I'm glad she did this because the ones that made that level or higher are the only ones that should get the benefits from it. She was also very friendly going around chatting with people during the cruise. She took an interest in the passengers. She was really nice. Last November on the Serenade he ( I don't remember his name) talked to people coming in and asked for our names. I didn't see him look at a list, but maybe he did as we continued in. Last October on the Explorer in the concierge lounge he (I also don't remember his name) also checked to see if you were supposed to be there as you came in.

Many, including me, don’t wear any C&A pin and don’t wear a room key on the lanyard that might expose the crown and anchor level enjoy m I wear a lanyard most all of the time. I keep my phone in my pockets and often whenever I pull my phone out cards will stick to the case and fall out. I unfortunately lost 2 credit cards this way. I would be in a hurry to get out of the store and stick it in my pocket and not in my purse. It took the second time for me to learn. The only time I carry a purse on board is formal nights and sometimes going to the DL. My gowns don't have pockets and often the clothes I wear into the DL don't either. The one I wear is a small waterproof case that is just a tiny bit bigger than the sea pass card and will also hold some cash. This way if I want to tip someone some extra cash I will have it with me. Along with prepaid gratuities and extra tips in envelopes at the end of the cruise, I don't always see the ones that go above and beyond again. Yes the lanyards with a container are nice to wear, at least for us. Also, I didn't realize that the sea passes have your level on them. I will have to look at the one from last week. I know our suite one was gold which meant we were in a suite, but I wasn't award that it had the C & A level on it.

Though I think the concierge in there is very attune to anyone coming up those stairs during happy hour. I am surprised they don't lock that door, it's just the rope off.

I don't think they should be shared. Just met someone back from a cruise saying how "nice" it was that their new diamond friends "shared" - the women didn't drink but the husbands would have 3 drinks each after dinner. I think it could lead to removal of coupons if the practice becomes wide spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we have shared our balcony discount with non Diamond members. That perk seems to be shared by a lot of people. And... it seems to be encouraged by RCI! Why is that perk allowed to be shared and the 3 free drinks aren't? Our friends haven't "earned" the balcony discount any more than they have earned a free drink. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in here make a big deal about not sharing the package, the crew won’t care if you share your free drinks we always walk away from a bar with our free drinks in our hands. It’s obvious we can’t drink 6 drink in one minute but they don’t care my friends love when I travel with them 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the info provided so far. Want to play by the rules Last year on Harmony I ordered my 3 drinks as well as DW’s 3 while in the MDR. We had the waiter give them directly to our daughter and son in law (they weren’t diamond and we had deluxe drink package). No one batted an eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
