Tell Bucky "welcome home and thanks for his service".I'll probably get chewed out for sidetracking this thread. Oh well. Yeah, I was expecting that slam for high jacking awhile ago...but so far no takers. ;p Seems more fun than discussing the original theme anyway. ;):') Will pass on the word to the old fart....thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not talking about thread hijacking, but general whining about the DL and the entire crown and anchor club and then theorizing about how there are too many and that it means ultimately the Diamonds and pinnacles will end up in bondage in the hold.... etc....

Blizzard54 Posted November 22, 2017 #235 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Very serious discussion. :D:D I always jump into these discussions once or twice a year. They are Clubs, Diamond and CC. I know they are commonly referred to as lounges, sometimes even by RCI, but the signs all say DC and CC. As you were. :cool: They were originally called Lounges. RCL has been changing the names to lounges but like everything else they do, they are inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted November 22, 2017 #236 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Not all the d lounges. On explorer this past july the d lounge had at most 30 people during cocktail hour. Could find a seat anytime and it was great. Talked to the concierge and he said that the past few months the lounge has been not crowded at all. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk The Explorer does not get high numbers of top tier when sailing in Alaska. We were on 2 weeks early in the season and 2 weeks in August. All had low numbers. The most was 40 D+ and 4 PC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 22, 2017 #243 Share Posted November 22, 2017 So pleased for you both. We were indeed totally surprised. But wonderful and fun dinner they hosted in Chops for the top three couples, the HD, the LA, and F&B manager. Unlimited wine, great food...went on most of the night. We felt spoiled. Not expecting that bit of luck to happen any time soon again...that's for sure!. :confused::o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since i have only started cruising 3 years ago i have only seen crowded d lounges. Though some are handled better than others due to the concierge. But this past july on explorer i got a glimpse of what the d lounges were like years ago. Nice relaxing atmosphere, great views, no problem getting a seat and awesome service. Our cruise there were no pinnacles and i believe the top cruiser had under 300 pts. I believe there were less than 20 d+ members.

kobecat Posted November 23, 2017 #247 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Reading this thread is about as worthwhile as watching the washing machine. Same people saying the same thing and agreeing with everyone who agrees with them and restating it less eloquently again to those who don't. JC Love it! So true.
