Rare island lady Posted August 5, 2017 #902 Share Posted August 5, 2017 With views like that and the Florida sun close to Disney wow perfect. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Actually, for us anyway, living the last 30 years close to Disney is like an employee in a bake shop...somehow those brownies just don't look quite as delicious as they once were. ;) Have not been to the mouse house in a long...long time. Was fun many years ago when we first went there though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not been to WDW for a few years but go to the Boardwalk, Celebration,Disney Springs, Premium outlets, Florida Mall and lots of other shopping areas instead. Now we only pop across usually forThanksgiving and Black Friday sales for 7 nights. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app I think it is so cool that you can easily pop over the big pond! :) Someday, we are looking forward to doing the TA cruises, visiting a lot more of Europe, doing the European cruises, down under, TP cruises etc. Right now we have a fur baby that is keeping our traveling and cruises as more local, but she does join us (as now) when we travel in the motor home. Once our sweet girl passes into kitty cat heaven...we will be doing a lot longer cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once our sweet girl passes into kitty cat heaven...we will be doing a lot longer cruises. I'm with you. We have a DD who is 13, and finally able to do some longer cruises with her to more exotic places, where she won't mind doing an all-day siteseeing type tour. We do go without her sometimes, but when with her in the past it was usually Caribbean (of course, living near Ft Lauderdale, that was a lot easier as well). We're still a few years from retirement, but 5 years when she goes into college, we'll be looking at doing more cruises off-season (ie non-summer/spring break) to better places. We do pop up to DW though. Haven't been there as much lately, but her school does "field trips" there, and will probably get the seasonal pass for 2018 to go again.

Katie (my Avatar, and doing her best impression as queen of the "land yacht") is 14, and has bounced back from what we all thought was the last of her nine lives.

Blizzard54 Posted August 6, 2017 #918 Share Posted August 6, 2017 So you want more cruisers in the Suite Lounge? We are Diamond and prefer the way it is now. There is a Diamond Lounge for D and D+ on ships with a Suite Lounge. At some point there will need to be an adjustment to C&A numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Forums There has already been a number of adjustments and there will be more to come and the number of D,D+ and PC keep climbing. I remember when Diamond could use the CL.

reedy8 Posted August 6, 2017 #919 Share Posted August 6, 2017 This link shows the benefits as a comparison for all levels: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/cas/benefitsLoggedout.do Just as a side note for those who are interested, I found on the Azamara site a chart that shows what reciprocal benefits you get across the 3 lines. Its a bit clearer to read than on the RC site. https://www.azamaraclubcruises.com/en-au/le-club-voyage/le-club-voyage-program/member-benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelplus Posted August 6, 2017 #922 Share Posted August 6, 2017 What if Royal did away with the lounges and just gave Diamond Members the Complimentary Premium Beverage Package and load up 4 free Specialty Dining Restaurant nights on short cruises of 7 nights and less and 8 for 7 nights and more and if they are not used transfer it to OBC or have a choice more OBC, Free Excursions etc sort of like the Celebrity 1-2-3 GO but just for Diamond and Above. For Emerald give 4 free Premium Drinks per night and 2 Specialty Restaurant Nights on 7 night cruise and 4 on more than 7 nights or OBC tour etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
