Rare steamboats Posted October 27, 2014 #301 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's Monday!!! Carmen do you have a copy or a link to the official release from RC, that you said would be out today Thanks Graham Sorry, haven´t heard anything so far. I´m not sure whether it will be an official press release or some kind of announcement onboard only. Ken posted in his thread that he has news about the CL. But he didn´t come back on that topic so far. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted October 27, 2014 #302 Share Posted October 27, 2014 But back to the topic at hand.... You are the one who made the statement that many of the D+ perks are disappearing. When challenged to name one, you chose to switch the subject completely and have ignored the question. Answer please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted October 27, 2014 #303 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) You are the one who made the statement that many of the D+ perks are disappearing. When challenged to name one, you chose to switch the subject completely and have ignored the question. Answer please. Aw, can we perhaps just wish DZ well on Princess? If DZ thinks Princess is a better value for their cruise desires, that is reason enough for them to to sail Princess. If, of all the special things about Oasis Class ships, the only feature that mattered to DZ was lunch in CL:eek:, well, there must be a big mismatch between cruiser and cruiseline. If DZ is sure they would not like D Dining, then most likely they will not like D dining (self-knowlegde or self-fulfilling gives same result). I'd rather DZ did not invoke D+ cutbacks for their departure from the lineas it sounds like sour grapes rationalization, but it matters little as you've made your points about alleged cutbacks. I look forward to hearing about the future of the Oasis CL. Edited October 27, 2014 by Starry Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted October 27, 2014 #304 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I just read on the D D+ Pinnacle chat thread that someone entered the concierge lounge on deck 11 this morning and it appears as it did before. Meaning it looks normal is how I understood it. I suspect it will be open for business tonight as was announced on the webcast. It doesn't take long to move things into and out of a room when there is crew working 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted October 27, 2014 #305 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I would give a link but don't have that ability with tapatalk. The person who entered the concierge lounge this morning is on a back to back cruise and used the new key for the cruise beginning today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long delayed departure by maybe 3 hours. Friend on b2b used her new sea pass card this AM and entered deck 11 CL looked same as before she said. We unfortunately did not have use of it for the TA! Only the new deck 4 for all diamond & PC lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is VERY positive to hear - as this to me indicates that the CL will be for D+, PC & suites (great for those of us who booked suites or balconies on deck 11), DL for diamonds, D+ & PC, and the new SL for suites & PC. D+ can now turn that frown upside down. Order has been restored and OA/AL beckon :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurschick Posted October 27, 2014 #311 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So in other words CL was closed TA as was being used as store room to facilitate work to wonderland. Hence why D+ used suite lounge and now all back to normal. All the "insider knowledge" that was so say fact was hearsay and assumptions and not based on anything official from RC Like myself, and several others stated much earlier in the post there was NEVER anything official to say Cl was being removed, which was why we questioned whether these comments being posted were rumors or fact. Suffice to say lesson learned never assume until official, and never believe all you hear on board as FACT:rolleyes: Does that mean D+ no longer jumping ship:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted October 27, 2014 #312 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I am just guessing that the very high up officer who gave a journalist the FACTs that the CL was GONE, ran out of steam:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again we have learned a valuable lesson. Don't believe everything you hear on onboard - even if it is from the captain's uncle's friend's mother's sister. :). See you in the CL.

Rare John&LaLa Posted October 27, 2014 #314 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If a Suite Guest is a Diamond Member, wouldn't they not have access to the DL as well? I was kind of hoping that the non loyalty tier suite guests would not have access to old CL. And the non suite PC's would not have access to suite lounge. As long as they staff Suite Lounge with a concierge, what would be the downside of that? That may not work because of coastal kitchen though. Oh well.

Rare steamboats Posted October 28, 2014 #319 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yes, CL is open again. But that might not be lasting on forever. You have to wait til March. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurschick Posted October 28, 2014 #321 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Seems like everyone got a different information onboard... I also doubt that the current CL will be turned into cabins... We were told it´ll be a suite restaurant (Coastal Kitchen). steamboats Just in from my DH: Wonderland will take up all of the former Concierge Lounge. Suite Lounge will be for Suite and Pinnacle only. Diamond and Diamond+ are "limited" to the new Diamond Lounge. steamboats Sorry I could not post replies to four different posts at once so please follow So far you have stated CL WAS becoming coastal kitchen. I think we can now all safely assume this is INCORRECT Secondly IF Wonderland taking up ALL of CL then why is CL reopen. Surely it would need to be closed for them to reimagine?

Spurschick Posted October 28, 2014 #322 Share Posted October 28, 2014 My DH is onboard. Yes, those first deckplans simply were wrong. The deckplans onboard don´t show the CL anymore. BTW RCI did now confirm this in this thread. Currently the Library is still open. But it will be consumed by Wonderland. The area is a construction side. DH had a chance to peek in this morning as the doors were open. steamboats Yes, CL is open again. But that might not be lasting on forever. You have to wait til March. steamboats If deck plans do not have CL on it hence in your own words it is gone, then why is it reopen.:confused: I do not understand any logic why if the Suite lounge is for suites and pinnacles, and is open, and the new DL is open WHY would they reopen CL for a short period of time. To me it would make much more sense that the new rules would have applied from the minute they were ready and operational. Yes, we will wait to March to see, but again it sounds like they have done nothing to convert CL into wonderland and as such if it is turning into wonderland it would need to be closed prior to convert. Which again leads me to ask why it wasn't done at the same time? Yes time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted October 28, 2014 #323 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Will that be a Monday in March when we will get the official announcement that the CL is gone;) Let's face it, it's so obvious someone was fed false information, and they can't admit that they were wrong, but hey CL is OPEN:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which again leads me to ask why it wasn't done at the same time? Yes time will tell. Wonderland will open on March 14 as planned unless they hit some snags which isn't likely. They simply put in the infrastructure and used the CL during the crossing as they finished doing what was needed to be done. I suspect there will be further construction upstairs and in the Library between now and March 14 that will be of no disruption to the CL which will remain open. The space will be shared between Wonderland and the CL come March 14. Will that be a Monday in March when we will get the official announcement that the CL is gone;) Let's face it, it's so obvious someone was fed false information, and they can't admit that they were wrong, but hey CL is OPEN:cool: For the record, I was also fooled for a couple of months by people on board who should know. I personally think they thought they knew what they were talking about. When they are told a suite lounge will take the place of the Viking Crown Lounge, they probably believe this means the current concierge lounge (which they think of as a suite lounge since suites go there) will be shut down. It's probably all just a misunderstanding due to language issues and terms used. Edited October 28, 2014 by mommabean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
