roquejo Posted August 6, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Being Diamond changes my traditional dining habits, used to always do early seating, then watch show and sleep early. Now I usually do late seating to take advantage of the pre dinner cocktail hours in the lounge. Edited August 6, 2015 by roquejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci22 Posted August 6, 2015 #29 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I guess you are allowed to ask for anything. ;) The coffee is a valued perk for my family. If I couldn't get it because of a broken machine, I don't think it's a big deal to ask for cappucino vouchers. We were using the CL so we got our coffee there or I would have asked.

Some people wear them to loyalty events, some people wear them all week long. Some people make them into jewelry. Some people just like to have them, like a keepsake. That's all I can think of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have iFly and Flowrider and bumper cars on their ships but they can't get their coffee machine to work for weeks on end? So lame. Hopefully it's fixed by now anyway.

cb140 Posted August 6, 2015 #33 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Does anyone know what the Diamond Lounge is like on Indy? We're on a TA on her next year, and I haven't sailed anything other than Oasis class for ages (have been on Indy before but it was a looong time ago and before we were Diamond). Eg is there an outdoor area? Coffee machine? Breakfast? (someone mentioned an outdoor area on Liberty, which I think is a sister ship...). On the subject of Indy, does anyone know if there is tea/coffee making facilities in the cabin (ie an electric kettle/mugs?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the DL is like the Freedom then it has an outdoor area, coffee machine, breakfast items. No cooked meals. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted August 6, 2015 #38 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Our TA is *from* Southampton (to Ft Lauderdale) so I'm hoping there will be... I think I remember kettles when we did the TA on the Indy. Not sure. That said, being diamond makes that less critical. Since you can go to the lounge and make a cup of tea anytime day or night. I know we had kettles in our room (JS) on the Liberty in March, but never even thought about using it. Since I could easily make something in the lounge. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I can think of right now. Addition...sell them on ebay. Have seen D+ pins priced at $45-$50. Also...on two trips where the coffee machine broke down the concierge placed a sticker on our Sea Pass and on a third we just had to mention it to the person making the specialty coffee. No charge. It can and does happen. One trip was a 12 day on the Explorer and the machine was down the entire trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are specifically asked to dress according to that night's "dress code" and as Bob wrote, no pool attire during "cocktail hour." That having been said, I have seen bathing suits in the CL and the Concierge SAID NOTHING. (and yes, he saw.) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted August 6, 2015 #45 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We have not cruised RCCL in a long time. We just found out on this recent Radiance cruise that you can get any drink from the "Diamond Menu" at ANY bar between 4:30 and 8:30 (your ship may vary). Our diamond coffee machine was turned off frequently outside of the posted diamond lounge hours. Regarding the bar drinks, remember, there is limit of 3 per evening. (No carry over for unused vouchers). Enjoy M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted August 6, 2015 #46 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If you don't see your Diamond pins in your stateroom, talk to the Loyalty Ambassador on board. What level do you need to be to get pins? We have never gotten any. We are emerald. How do we get them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull1130 Posted August 6, 2015 #47 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I love to just stop into the lounge whenever I want a latte.....so nice....it even is a good place to stop in and sit and read. At times there are cookies, but not very often, have I found during the day. But that never stopped me from visiting WJ and then heading to the lounge for my latte. Depending upon the ship, the lounge may have an outside area to sit in and that is enjoyable as well. I agree that it's a great place for some quiet time in the late morning or early afternoon............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
