Oasis is not the only class with premium priced cabins or Coastal Kitchen.  You are missing a whole class of ships.  Quantum class has Royal Suite Class as well.

Thanks for clarifying.

Quantum class is the only Royal class we had not been on so couldn't personally comment on that ship class.

We need a solution! How about rotating time schedules based on dining schedules? 

Or, based on cabin number odd/even?

Suggestions?

Probably for Oasis and Quantum class ships Suite guests should have a DP, free WIFI and Speciality restaurant pass and the DL plus SL should be renamed Pinnacle Lounge and C&A Loyalty Lounge.

Great idea! Now to have others to agree. Find a solution, get a buy off from a majority, present it to RCI formally. Many people on here are in the chain.

They already have this. It’s called Star Class.  Just add a Genie !

What about the CK?  I do believe proper social distancing could be obtained in the SL if it were just for Suites.

I could see them pushing tables from CK into the SL to gain some spacing. Move SL down to Dazzles

With the exception of Oasis class the other ships Suites are not as premium priced and Vision, Radiance,Voyager and Freedom class have all had CLs with D+ access allowed which is right because lots of people spent $$$$ to make D+ with the carrot of CL access if they stuck with Royal rather than sailing other cruiselines.

If cruiselines have to wait that long  for a vaccine they will all have gone bust.

There comes a point just like when bars,shops, restaurants, sports stadiums etc have been allowed to open that a solution will be found to allow cruising again.

 

Grapau how do you suggest they keep Rona off ships?

Only Star class suites get those perks.

 

This was a suggestion only for all Suite guests.

Where's an ambulance chaser when you want one.

I am surprised no D+ has took this further.

As @Milwaukee Eight often points out, it's all in those pesky T&C's

Coastal Kitchen (suite restaurant). Specifically the one on Oasis Class that abutts the Suite Lounge

Agree. On the class of ships we've sailed on we prefer the DL over the CL.  🍻

Not many left now. But you prefer the DL to the CL on Radiance ships?

Towards loyalty, or just to round up to a new reward. Delta lets you buy miles as well, but they don't count as qualification miles

 

You can buy points then use your points for flights or upgrading your seats.

Rona?

Covid19 is a big problem for us all.

Limiting capacity of ships and social distancing,mask wearing,washing hands,daily temperature checks.

It is up to high paid executives to come up with solutions to keep their businessess afloat.

I was thinking for all full Suite guests then Pins could have the renamed Pinnacle Lounge to themselves.

Your dream is ok until such time when the numbers exceed the capacity. SMH

The target has been out there for some time. Just work towards Pinnacle and then you will be fine.

Oasis is an exception with CK but even if all the Suite guests wanted to go into the SL or CK they would still not be able to accommodate everyone.

I have only seen one cruise where Suite guest couldn’t get a table in the CK.  This was because of a high number of Pinnacles. Try again. 
 

If you want the access you want, just step up and book appropriately. I have no issue if Royal wants to give P’s, D+, or D space. 
 

This is just too much.

CL

Small windowless rooms on most ships.

When cruising returns RCL will probably have renamed them all with SL name plaques.
