Confused? Where are we permitted to go for cocktail hour?

We're D+ and are sailing on the Symphony. Where are we allowed to go for evening drinks on this ship?

You can visit the Diamond lounge on deck 4

Or any bar except Rising Tide and use your vouchers.

On Harmony we preferred to sit on Central Park and I got our drinks from the bar there.

In addition to the D Lounge service, the 3 drinks loaded to the Sea Pass can be used in Specialty Restaurants, MDR, bars and any entertainment venue.

I am also confused - why would you think Symphony is any diff than any other ship in terms of D+ drinks?

The Allure and Oasis have the Diamond Lounge on deck 11 nice view of the Aqua Theater. The Harmony and the Symphony have the Diamond Lounge on deck 4 no view at all.

And what does that have to do with the drinks?

I would venture to assume that regardless of status, you are "allowed" or "permitted" to go anywhere for a drink on the ship.

I'm confused by the question. Why you would be restricted to drinking anywhere, regardless of status??

because D+ got booted out of the old Concierge Lounges when they were revamped into Suite Lounges. so the OP is, I assume, asking what Lounges Symphony has.

The only restrictions I can recall are in the Adventure Ocean / teen areas.

Touché. Agreed.

Because the free drinks loaded on our sea pass cards are not good everywhere. Can't use them in the bionic bar and most ships no longer allow their use in the Champagne bar. Slowly but surely they are being honored in the MDR on most ships during the 3 hour window. No limit to appetizers and cocktails in the Diamond lounge or overflow venues. It is all about the word, free.

On the flowrider.

On the zipline.

On the Carousel.

:D

Theatre if you get the wrong server like we did this year on Indy. They wanted to charge us :(

Good job we always carry the Diamond drink card around with us.

Just wondering if anyone has got D+ drinks at the bar in Wonderland? I know they have snazzy cocktail menu but wonder if they can do a simple (free) G&T!?

Yes, we have done it several times.

With your vast experience as D+, you should already know you can get evening drinks at any bar that is open!!!!

If you are asking about your free drinks, I would think you would know that you need to go to the Diamond lounge. You could find that info once you get on the ship, and read your welcome letter explaining this. Works every time for me. As far as the 3 drinks, you will find the info in your welcome letter also. It will tell you where you can't go.....example MDR, raising tide bar etc....

The only exemption to the Diamond lounge is on the Empress and the Spectrum. Now, 99.5% of the people reading this will never go on the Spectrum. (I'm one of the 0.5% that will be visiting Shanghai next year on the ship).

No, :rolleyes:I didn't know with my vast experience,as I haven't been on this ship and venue seems to have changed since we were last on RCCL. Have wandered over to Celebrity and tried MSC.

Thank you, exactly why I posted this question 👍🏻

In Asia, the concept of being "diamond" or above does not exist. So as a passenger from America/Europe/Australia you will be part of the small 5% of people not from Asia. You might also be the only Diamond on the ship. Rumor has it that if a Diamond or above shows up, the ship, will take care of you, but don't expect a private lounge for you. (it would be quite lonely). Instead rumor is that you will be given access to the silver lounge or maybe the gold lounge and will have access to the gold area with your card. Also coastal Kitchen is part of the enclave, and is called the Gold dining room.

We are booked on the Spectrum in December 2019!... So glad to read your post! :)

I called RCCL a few months ago asking if there was a Diamond Lounge and was told NO. We were bummed by this news. Hopefully what you are stating is true. Would be nice to get access to other lounges offered on the ship due to our status.
