For example Ps and D+ could get better cheap vodkas: Smirnoff and Finlandia vs NA. D lounge would only have NA and Tisdale assortment.

Yes, it does affect Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacles. When I was on the Freedom of the Seas, the changes were mentioned by the Concierge crew and Loyalty Ambassador. Changes were coming, but was told on the ship and Royal Caribbean has yet to announce these changes. But staff know! Eventually, Diamonds will not be allowed in the Diamond Lounges! That will be a significant change for them. Only have 3 Drink coupons, if they are lucky. All Concierge Lounges will be converted to Suite Lounges, with Diamond Plus being restricted as soon as all conversions occur to the ships. Pinnacles eventually will be affected also, Royal is just keeping it on the down low for now. Pinnacles and Diamond Plus will eventually be the only ones allowed into the Diamond Lounges, and Pinnacles soon will be restricted from the Suite lounges as soon as all the conversions occur. Too many Pinnacles affecting the "exclusive Suite Lounge" experience per the loyalty ambassador and Concierges. These are huge changes!. Also, some "dilution" of Diamond Member benefits will be occurring, to reduce expenses?? I'm scared as to what that might be! What bothers me is that Royal and its staff are aware of what's happening and what's coming down the line and do not make some kind of press release to their members so that no surprises and let downs occur once your on the ship! Give your loyal cruisers a heads up Royal. Not surprise us when we expect a certain level of benefits and experience, for our significant loyalty. I agree with you and believe what you were told and kindly let us know on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unfortunately never met Millie but maybe RC cut back on her benefits too and she decided to try another cruiseline. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kicks the overcrowding problem down the road for a year or two. Maybe they should do a complete overhaul They can only make so many people mad at one time else there might be a mutiny.

FWIW... MB did say on Freedom Presidents Cruise that they would be moving more toward the Suite Classes, Sea/Sky/Star Class. Maybe adding SL’s on ships was part of that. Maybe Keys fit in as well.
