late seating Posted September 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Next week we will be going on our first cruise as a diamond member. We are also elite members on Celebrity. On Celebrity, the lounge serving the complimentary drinks is not open on the first night of the cruise or the night of the captains party. On Royal is the diamond lounge open and/or the vouchers accepted on those two nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Royal is the diamond lounge open and/or the vouchers accepted on those two nights? On Royal, the DL serves cocktails every night, usually from 5pm to 8:30pm. The DL can be accessed 24 hours via your room key. This is good for getting complimentary specialty coffee.

goneclear Posted September 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just off the Allure. I do not know about the lounge as I never used it but our three free drinks as Diamond members were available in any of the bars from 6 pm and the free drinks were available on all nights including the first night. There is no coupon. You can go to any bar as you board give them your sea pass card and they can give you a print out of all your perks. You still have to sign a tab with a zero balance for your free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask which ship, because I see that you live in NY, and if it is the Explorer, there is still no Diamond Club on that ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topo Gigio Posted September 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Btw till what time can you use the 3 drinks loaded on your sea pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Btw till what time can you use the 3 drinks loaded on your sea pass? Same times as the DL cocktail hour, usually 5pm to 8:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topo Gigio Posted September 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Same times as the DL cocktail hour, usually 5pm to 8:30pm. I read a couple of days ago, that someone was still able to order around 11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are on the Explorer, very good! But, we read, probably on Cruise Critic, that these class ships designate one of the lounges/bars to be the Diamond lounge. Is that not correct? By the way, not to give our ages away but we loved to watch Topo Gigio on the Ed Sullivan show. Connie & Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted September 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It is nice on Royal that the DL and CL are open every night. And they have longer cocktail hours than Celebrity does. We go every night and just enjoy ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie & Angelo Yes, but they are only open during the cocktail hours (no continental breakfast or specialty coffee machine), an free drinks limited to wine and soda. Coupons are much better.

kc320 Posted September 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow...did they change the hours? Thought it was always 5:00 to 8:30 not 6:00? It can vary a little by ship...5-8...5:30- 8:30....generally a 3 hr span...and the drink coupons on the seapass card are good during that same time frame..

Bosjoe Posted September 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Wow...did they change the hours? Thought it was always 5:00 to 8:30 not 6:00? It is from from 5-8:30. Its always been that on Allure and Oasis. Some ships vary by location (Region sailing) of the ships. He probably had a typo.

goneclear Posted September 18, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Btw till what time can you use the 3 drinks loaded on your sea pass? I am not sure. some people here say 8.30 or 9 . As I said before I did use the Diamond Lounge. I prefer the outside bars. I did get drinks way after 9 pm. but I always tipped on each drink so not sure if that had anything to do with it.

iriemon Posted September 18, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This may be a dumb question, but it is the first time as a diamond. Do they have food in the DL? I know on Princess they have a "theme" every night in the lounge regarding food. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on Princess they have a "theme" every night in the lounge regarding food.Thanks no theme. The food in the CL and DL are just fresh fruit and cheese, vegetable tray with dip, canapes, hot hor 'deurves (chicken wings, egg rolls, meat balls, etc), and dessert canapes. It's all finger food. Many nights its the same stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
