Just off the Vision... the Jan 26th sailing only Pinnacles and Suite guests were permitted in the concierge lounge.  Diamond and D+ used the Diamond Lounge on deck 6 and in the Viking Crown Lounge that was not part of the concierge lounge

Jay Jay, Hajeong Shim, has left Freedom for Mariner Diamond Lounge. Bertie is back on Freedom.

For some reason I can't open the google doc, how long is Bertie going to be on Freedom and any idea who the Concierge will be end of June 2019?

You're quoting from a post from 2015 (wonder how that got into the thread).

Bertie left Freedom and then was on Brilliance.  He is now training to be a Genie but I'm not sure which ship.  Too bad you can't open the Google Doc as I update it constantly.  

Hard to predict who will be concierges in June on FR concierges. Fabio Arena Dias is in the DL and he could go to the CL.  Other concierges that may still be on vacation, Gisleni Araujo Castro; or VingJin Yu. may be possibilities.  You may want to try to Google Doc with anothher browsers.

Boarding Oasis again in a couple of weeks, will ask Federico.  I know Beatrice does not like being in the DL.  She has way too much to deal with being the only concierge in the DL with the crowding issues...and the usual gripes.  😞 

Pat -- When you said that you were sailing on OA, I checked your dates.  Our friends, Shelton and Jack, who were with us when we sailed on OA are on that cruise.  They were supposed to sail with us on 1-13-2019 but had to cancel.  I will email you and fill you in more.  

[SherriZ366]

Thanks for all the information -- I updated my Google Doc

I am going to clarify DL concierge on Oasis. I am currently on board. Beatrice is in the DL. She is just back a few weeks from vacation.  She is planning on staying in the DL until her current contract ends which will be in July.

Yup, that was where they were last month also.   Alan said told me he was worried about missing his D+ friends...since supposedly Kumar is turning the CL into an SL.  Alan likes being in the DL.  

We are in a suite next month but plan on utilizing the DL instead of the CL. We have known Alan for years from his days on Enchantment. Also traveling with friends who are D+ but not in a suite this time.

[island lady]

Hi Sherri.

 

Currently on board Enchantment (for her limited return engagement to PC).  

 

Perla Francisco is concierge in DL

 

Eunise Castro is in CL

I can not confirm where MJ is today, but from talking to him I know he will be in the Suite Lounge when I get on 2/24.

OK...we are back on Oasis on the 24th.  Same cabin as the last two month..guess we like that one. 😉

We had access to both lounges...but also preferred the DL.  Like the sweeping view off the aft, and with the overflow into the Shall We Dance lounge...it is more comfortable.

The post you may have seen on another social media regarding the Vision DL was confusing.  The decision to make the CL an SL is on a cruise by cruise basis on Vision. The Pinnacle and D+ numbers have been too high for that tiny lounge to accommodate people, even with the overflow into the VCL.  New Orleans and the VI itineraries have proven to be very popular with the frequent cruisers.

I cruised with Nadia several times on the Navigator. She was wonderful.... Many nights saw her working after hours in the CL. 

-Cheryl

 

Yes, Nadja is wonderful. Very personable and works very hard. No task is out of her scope. Every day I saw her constantly checking on food in the lounge or talking to people - rarely does she sit behind the desk. I can't say enough good things about her.
