I agree with these comments about drinks in various lounges, being D+ myself. Have been treated very well in all Concierge lounges. However, as more people travel and are becoming D+ the Lounge on deck 9 on Voyager class ships can't handle the crowds, so they added space in the Viking Lounge each nite at 4:30 to 8:00 on the Nov. 10, 2013 sailing I just completed. I think space will be just fine as they upgrade as the Mariner was last year. However, my 'Gripe" is with the new Seapass Card Benefits. We have been cut by 50% to all benefits as D+ because we can only redeem ONCE with the Seapass card, whereas we had 2 Booklets before. So Double Benefits are now Single Benefits. Anyone else see this change??
Here is the current link to the Enhancement Schedule http://www.creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/General_Info/Flyers/12028421_Revit_QuickReference_Guide.pdf As you can see there are still several ships to be enhanced. What you might have experienced in the past is the Diamond Event on those ships that did not have a true Diamond Lounge. Here you were given complimentary wine, champagne and soft drinks with all other beverages available at 25% off their normal price.
Each ship will have a Concierge Lounge for Suite Guests, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club Members. What is being added to all ships is a Diamond Lounge for Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Members.
You will get the same amenities in the Diamond Lounge as you will in the Concierge lounge. Continental Breakfast every morning usually from 7 until 10 and then cocktail hour from either 4:30 to 8 or 5:00 until 8:30. You will have have the services of the Concierge in each lounge to assist you.
