Diamond plus concierge lounge?


Recommended Posts

Dear Diamond Plus Members,

As we reflect on 2022, there is so much to be thankful for. Our full fleet is back in service and our ships are once again bustling with happy guests making memories that will last a lifetime.

 

The Crown & Anchor® Society continues to grow as we welcome new members each day and existing members continue to sail. And while we are excited for the growth of our program, we must remain mindful of our onboard operations to ensure that we continue to deliver the award-winning experience you know and love.

 

One of the published benefits of Diamond Plus members has been access to the Concierge Lounge on ships that lack a Suite Lounge, including:

 

  • Quantum of the Seas
  • Anthem of the Seas
  • Ovation of the Seas
  • Radiance of the Seas
  • Brilliance of the Seas
  • Serenade of the Seas
  • Jewel of the Seas
  • Explorer of the Seas
  • Grandeur of the Seas
  • Enchantment of the Seas
  • Rhapsody of the Seas
  • Vision of the Seas

Access has been largely based on guest count and lounge capacity levels, which are assessed on a voyage-by-voyage basis. Due to high counts of top-tier members on most sailings, we have had to limit access to the Concierge Lounge altogether.

 

As a result, we have made the decision to standardize Concierge and Suite Lounge access across the fleet. This means that beginning on sailings departing on or after December 16th, 2022, both Concierge and Suite Lounge access on all ships will be limited to eligible Suite guests and Pinnacle Club members only. This change is reflected on our updated Member Benefits Grid.

 

Sincerely,

 

Crown & Anchor Society

Too many repeat Cruisers, C&A too successful. Was a Diamond in 90's and had access to CL. Back then might have at most  6-10 Diamonds(top tier then)

I cannot think of any ship that allows D+ into any lounge except the Crown Lounge.  But Anthem certainly does not.  There are some cruises where even Pinnacles are not allowed in.

3 Diamond Plus questions:

1. Diamond Plus question - is there only one lounge for all D and D+  members? 
 

2. Does anyone know where it is/will be on

        the Allure of the Seas? (sailing April 29)

        the Utopia of the Seas? (sailing November 25

3. With 412 points, how many complimentary drinks are we entitled to per day?

Is the Crown Lounge on Allure still two story.  Pretty sure it will be moved to the dungeon after its next dry dock. 

Yes....and I suspect you are correct about it being moved.  All we can do is go by the deck plans for now.

While the venue itself is still two stories, the upper level is used for Chef’s Table. The Chef’s Table guests enter through the Crown Lounge.

I used to like having bagels and espresso up stairs while looking out the window.

Depending on the ship, and number of passengers in various categories, often most pinnacles are designated to use the crown lounge as well. So the occupants include diamond, diamond plus, and  pinnacles.
