Concierge Lounge

Can anybody tell me if Diamond members who are in Junior Suites have Concierge lounge access. I think I read it earlier in the year but can find nothing about it now and I am still waitng for an answer from the C&A.

As of September 1 this year, no. Diamond members no longer have access to the Concierge Lounge, only Diamond+ and full suite (not JS) passengers do. JS passengers haven't ever truly had access, but there was a misprint in a brochure a few years ago, so they honored it for a time when some people complained. It's been a very long time since they've allowed JS passengers to use the CL though. (Some folks have even tried bringing brochures that are 4 years out of date to "prove" they should have access; nevermind that the brochures for the past few years have specifically excluded JS from the list of qualified cabins for the CL, and never mind that the website and cruise docs confirm that the CL is for GS and above only.)

 

Unless your ship has the separate Diamond Lounge (started with Freedom), you will not have access to any special lounges. However, if you go to the website and look at the updated C&A benefits, you'll find a whole thing about how they're planning on doing a nightly "special event" for D/D+ members. I think it's a cocktail hour in one of the regular lounges, but don't quote me on that!

 

Regardless, have a wonderful time on your cruise!

Unfortunately no ... you can access the Diamond lounge on Freedom, Liberty, Independence, or Oasis but will be shut out of the concierge lounge.
