lktomkies Posted November 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hello all! My husband and I are booked on the Legend, 11 night southern Caribbean, on Dec. 12th This will be our first cruise at the Diamond level. Can anyone give me any tips/advice about what to expect, what not to miss, etc? Being an 11 night itinery, I expect many Diamonds on board. Will the Diamond lounge be packed every night? Is the lounge open during the day? What about breakfast? Thanks in advance! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our recent cruise, theny moved it to the Anchors Aweigh lounge. The lounge is accessible via your room key 24 hours. They have a continental breakfast from about 8am to 10am every morning. They also have 24 hour free specialt coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dz9yvr Posted November 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Please remember you likely won't have DL access much longer, enjoy it while it still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddie Posted November 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Please remember you likely won't have DL access much longer, enjoy it while it still exists. This is strictly a rumor, and remains unsubstantiated at this point. Teddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldcity Posted November 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Looking forward to trying on the diamond lounge on the Grandeur. I turned diamond on my B2B last year on the Grandeur and they didn't have a diamond lounge then. Majesty didn't have one either. So I'm counting down till my cruise next month when I finally get to see what all the fuss is about. LKTomkies ... looks like we would have been newbies together ... your sig has the May 31st sailing still listed. You must have booked the Legend as your replacement. We'll be sailing about the same time as you on our replacement cruise. We're on the 10-day that leaves Dec. 14th. I'm so excited about sailing at Christmastime ... I've never done that and it promises to be a very memorable trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEDIA Posted November 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Still got 5 more days to do before we reach Diamond, and not on Holiday till next October. So I guess I will either just make it and not benefit, or it will have changed by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lktomkies Posted November 20, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Emeraldcity- Yes, we were scheduled on the 5/31/13 Bermuda cruise on the Grandeur. Obviously, that didn't happen! We re-booked to the August 23rd sailing and had a great time! As I recall (we weren't Diamond at the time) there was a Diamond "lounge" sort of walled-off in one of the lounges, looked kind of like partition walls. We had hoped to sail on the Radiance in October of this year, around Australia. That didn't pan out, so we are now booked on the Legend for 12/12! I am counting down the days (22 to be exact!). I guess I need to update my signature lines! Have a great time on your upcoming cruise! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not been to either on this class of ship. I imagine it may have been more crowded had they not done away with Diamonds in December, so who knows, maybe it won't be too bad. Although you do not have the choices for breakfast in the lounge as you do the MDR or WJ, you will find me in the lounge. I love the quietness (not too many people opt for the lounge in the morning) and no crowds for my morning java. See you soon. Linda S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
