Elite Celebrity cruiser with Diamond RCCL question

[Goldenbeacher]

This will be our first cruise on diamond level with RCCL. On Celebrity we have had the elite lounge, or drink vouchers on some trips with too many elite level cruisers to fit in the lounge. We will be sailing on the Freedom of the Seas in September, and hope someone can tell me how this is handled on that ship. Thanks for any information!

The lounge and vouchers are a bit different from Celebrity and will be available EVERY night, including the first night.

 

Also - the lounge is actually open 24/7 and provides daily continental breakfast, self serve specialty coffee (24/7), snacks during cocktail hours and is staffed by a concierge for several hours each day.

 

There are a variety of other parks similar to Celebrity that will be loaded to the sea pass card. Just a heads up, the reciprocal is not automatic, you need to call RCCL to get a C&A number.

 

 

enjoy

As others have stated the lounge will be open for drinks in the evening for a period of about 3 hours. In the lounge during that time period the drinks are unlimited. In addition to that your seapass card will be loaded with vouchers for 3 free drinks that can be used at any bar on the ship with the exception of dining venues. These vouchers are only valid for use during that 3 hour period that the lounge is open.

We were just on the August 10th sailing of FOS and found the Diamond Lounge to be very nice. The Concierge, Berti, is so friendly and helpful - even serving drinks when the bartender is busy. They don't mind if you take drinks out of the Lounge, either, unlike Celebrity. The Lounge gets crowded, so they have an overflow room on the opposite side of the Olive or Twist Lounge in the Card Room.

We were quite pleased with the perks. And we enjoyed the atmosphere. My husband loved not being the youngest people aboard.

 

We took advantage of the Internet package and the free photos and the Lounge, but that's about it. We loved the ship. The adult pool area was great - not noisy, if that is what you are looking for. The production shows were accompanied by a 9 member live orchestra and were very good. Great singers and dancers. There was live entertainment at several other venues around the ship as well in the evenings. A real dealer at the Texas Hold 'em table in the Casino, not an electronic table (my DH plays.)

 

Any other questions, just ask.

Thank you for the great information. Friends and us just jumped on a $369 week on the Freedom of the Seas, and with the diamond perks, it is sure to be a great time. It's the first time since retiring that we are able to take advantage of the last minute pricing. I think I'm going to love it!

The Elite breakfast on Celebrity include alcoholic drinks like mimosa and bloody mary. RC is not nearly as generous but they do have the capaccino machine in the Diamond breakfast area.
