Diamond (Crown Lounge) Access
island lady replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I have Australia/NZ booked (Viking). The Canadian/Greenland NW passage, including prior cruise on the Great lakes and the SL seaway booked (Viking). Have to fly to Barcelona to rejoin WC for 4th quarter. Doing river cruise in Oregon, flying to Portland (American Queen). Just added B2B Alaska again. Waiting to book an eastbound TA with French river cruise added on (Viking). And still want to do the TA from Hong Kong to Vancouver (Viking). -
I hope they don't try and shove too much of their stuff under the bed for WC...I have too many suitcases...I need that room!! 😮 They would find their stuff back into the hallway linen closet! Real shame that RCI did not put Serenade into drydock for those things...at least a month of real work should have been done to her from what you are describing. Feel sad for you and your cruise mates having to put up with all that annoying activity. 😕

I live in Florida...but most of my cruises involve flights out of Florida. There are only so many Caribbean cruises we can stand to repeat over...and over again. 😉 -

They were not doing that on Wonder....guess it's just too big...too many C&A members. Did get our certificates, and the stratum....but just mailed to us. And actually I never wait for the certificate.....I just call CS, of whom are able to quickly look up the certificate number and use it for my booking. Using my next one on Wonder end of Feb. -
Yup, bought some magnets designed for holding down creepy curtains...but can now leave those behind since I realized Serenade was the plastic door sister. Has been awhile since we were in a balcony cabin. Though even some GS and JS cabins have curtains...but has more room to run away from them inside the tub. 😉

Always interesting how each ship presents the top tier. Some indeed really go all out and becomes an event of over half hour. Some, like Wonder...done in 10-15 minutes, with same canned speeches. -

Not sure about recognition ( just the 3 highest point cruisers and new Pinnacles)....but get to double Pinnacle (1400 points)..... Free 7 night cruise certificate in a JS cabin. 🤗 -

Ahhh...interesting. Thanks Ken! 🙂 And of course they taunt you with the Royal Up bids. 😉 -

Yeah, I remember something about the new (incorrect) signs they printed up...that were released too early. Ooops! 😬 -

It is funny though. From the rumors that circled around when they added Emerald, it was supposedly a mistake, as they wanted to officially name the 340 point (was 350 at the time) as Emerald. Let's face it Emerald is a wink of the eye (of which we skipped the whole level on one longer cruise)...and not much worth anything. I did get to finally see a pin with the green glass, versus clear glass like the Diamond pin though. 😄 -

Europe in the summer will always be in high demand...be it a WC segment or TA or anything else. We booked our 4th quarter out of Barcelona when the quarters were first released. -

I agree. I was shocked to pull up the listing of so many available cabins still on the website for the mini legs...... inside, outside, and a lot of balconies. Nothing at all from JS and up...so assuming RCI is holding those back...maybe to get $$ for upgrade bids? -
Actually now you can simply pull up RCI website. The mini legs are now listed, with cabin choice and pricing. 🙂 I found my cabin choice listed as the other website did. And I did manage to get my cabin changed...yaah! Center of the seesaw in rough weather is where I prefer to be. And this is now starboard, with chance of seeing the shoreline as we go round the horn. 🙂

We were on it as well. Great costumes as we walked around the Promenade...but did not stay for the parade. Bucky managed to get with our CK host and set this up. 😉 Poor Grace met her doom. -
Go to the RCI website. Do a dummy booking for each of the 17 segments. Starting with the first 3...which is our "first quarter"...you will see a lot of balcony cabins available. I am currently trying to change cabins from half way down one aft hallway to a cabin on "the hump" which will be less up and down during rough seas around the horn.

They added an entertainment tour on Wonder a couple of weeks ago...declined it. But not sure if it was for C&A perk, or being in a suite. 🤔
