Rare John&LaLa Posted July 30, 2017 #627 Share Posted July 30, 2017 We had to put the best dog ever down last year around Labor Day. He was a welsh terrier and just a lovely boy. We have pinky swore that after the white dog aka Wellington goes away that we are not getting another dog, until we quit traveling. I doubt we stick with that plan, but we shall see. Wellie turns 7 August 15. He has become a sweet boy, but man it was a challenge getting to that point. On the upside the welsh, was a good influence on satan's spawn aka Wellington. It is hard to be without a dog. JC I'm pretty sure a lot of us have had the best dog ever. [emoji2] Ours was Chewie, he's been gone 5 years now. We got Bella during his last 6 months. I like to think it added something to his life. Here are the two of them for his last Christmas. Bell's on the right.

Rare Shippy Posted July 30, 2017 #628 Share Posted July 30, 2017 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE VERIFY THE FREE BAG OF LAUNDRY COMMENTS...... At the beginning of this thread, several people mentioned a free bag of laundry as a perk for Diamond Plus. In September we will be taking our first cruise with Diamond Plus status. Sorry I did not read all the pages here because there were so many. I did connect to the link about different statuses and perks but did not notice anything about laundry. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can stuff in the bag, limited to things like socks, underwear, t-shirts, shorts, pajamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted July 31, 2017 #630 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We lost our Max (see avatar) in March. He was 13 and led a life of Riley. He never stayed in a kennel despite our heavy travel schedule. He went to "work" everyday with DH until I retired -- then some days he just refused to get off the couch. He wanted to be retired too. DH wants to get a new puppy but with our travel schedule and new hardwood floors I am thinking it is not a good idea. We shall see who wins!

Hobiecat01 Posted July 31, 2017 #631 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We found that Diamond Plus gets a 20% discount on the drink packages on board. Diamond does not as we found on the Harmony.

Hoppy2cruise Posted July 31, 2017 #638 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We just got back from cruising on Vision of the Seas and you only get access to the CL if you book higher than a Jr Suite. We weren't impressed as when we booked onboard the Serenade we were told by C&A and Next Cruise we would have access to the CL and reserved seating in the theatre. DL on Vision was often crowded so we would just go the R-bar for our drinks instead. Just checking that D+, Pinnacles, and grand suite & above guests have access to the CL.

On ships not yet converted to Suite Lounges, pretty sure access is allowed as above in CL. After each ships dry dock, who knows.

Hoppy2cruise Posted August 1, 2017 #642 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks. That was my understanding, but the post I quoted seemed to indicate otherwise. We have only cruised in grand suites on ships with Suite Lounges lately, but decided to book a junior suite on our Vision b2b since we have access to the CL as D+. I was checking that my plan had not backfired. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted August 1, 2017 #644 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I really don't think there's anywhere to add it now. They can't keep stealing public areas.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Personally we have always enjoyed the DL and understand the massive extras put into the SL on Oasis class ships. The size of these ships really need an extra CL for the number of top C&A members. RC haven't compensated D+ members for their CL privilege loss and this is the area that C&A need to look at.

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app We have been down this path but let's do it again to keep it interesting. You mention compensation. What form of compensation you want. I certainly don't think Royal is going to use up any revenue providing space for another D Lounge. I don't get how something is "owed" or someone is entitled too when the rules clearly say may be changed at any time? I believe so many have drank too much of the kool aid.
