CRUISEMAMI Posted April 16, 2012 #526 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm glad. I was worried that the concierge had turned into the focal point rather than THE GREAT TIME ON BOARD THE SHIP!:) p.s.............now we are all jealous of your ambitious cruise scheduale.....;):) We will never stop cruising!!! I try to keep in touch with the Concierge, and book cruise, around their schedule, if possible! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmhmarine Posted April 16, 2012 #527 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Karen Hernandez is on vacation from the cl. She said she is off for 4 months to get married. As I recall, Fernando from the allure is filling in. I may be wrong on the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEMAMI Posted April 17, 2012 #528 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Karen Hernandez is on vacation from the cl. She said she is off for 4 months to get married. As I recall, Fernando from the allure is filling in. I may be wrong on the name. Karen told us in March, that she was going home in June to get married, and she did not know if she was going to be back on NAV! Got an email from Ricardo yesterday, stating that he was on the NAV, getting things in order and sending out invitations!!! I'll know more, as soon as I get in touch with him!

momzcruzing Posted April 18, 2012 #531 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Oh, I'll be cruising, but not on Oasis, real soon! We have 3 cruises booked, all on the BR (cruised on her 18 times); we are doing the TA on Sept 8 and then B2B from SJ in Dec!We just like some concierge better then others: Ricardo; Fernando; Willie; Luca; and if we can, we will cruise with them!! Don't know who's the concierge on BR, but we really wanted to cruise on her again: she is my favorite ship.... :-) Left Brilliance on April 7th and Concierge was Betsy, and she was moving to a new cabin that day, so I guess she will stay for a while.

His email address is listed as: RH_SuitesConcierge@rccl.com Anyone have comments from previous cruises with Victor? Thanks. --Steve Steve, wouldn't Victor also be the Concierge for D+ and PC Members? I'm curious because usually the email address doesn't include "Suites" in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious because usually the email address doesn't include "Suites" in the title. Hi, Patti - I thought the email address was unusual, too. As you know, Rhapsody was just renovated and received a concierge lounge and diamond club. We're in a GS for this cruise so we'll visit both venues. I'll find out while onboard and report back. --Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious because usually the email address doesn't include "Suites" in the title. Patti, I think this is just some more of the handwriting on the wall. I am convinced that when all the ships (or maybe even most of them) have been revitalized and have 2 lounges, the current "CL" will become a Suite Lounge with admission only by gold card.:eek: Setting up a new email with the Suite designation puts one little thing in place for the future.

Something has to be done given the size of the >=D+ pool. WoW! what a great idea. Do you think there will ever be a D+ pool? LOL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endymion6942 Posted April 19, 2012 #547 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) I am sailing on the Monarch as an Emerald member. Three days later I will be on the Freedom hvaing surpassed the points for Diamond. The rep at Royal told me to get in touch with the Freedom loyality Ambassador while I am on the Monarch. So my question is: Is the loyality Ambassador the same as the Diamond Concierge. Edited April 19, 2012 by endymion6942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the location of the LA on the Monarch but it will be listed in the Compass. Doubtful your status will update. He/she will be able to give you the correct coupon book and put a Diamond sticker on your Sea Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
