Thinking of returning to RCI. Are D + allowed in the concierge lounge on the Anthem?

Yes. Got off b2b on Saturday and as D+ had complete access.

Hope it stays that way. On for 19 nights end of January & only reason booked cabin on 12 for easy access into Concierge Lounge.

You should be fine in January, what will be more interesting is after it's dry dock.... we're on in May after the refit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's changed to being a suite lounge by then.

When is dry dock?

There is no reason to not assume the CL on Anthem will then be designated a SL...This seems to be the inevitable after drydock's.

I believe around 4-24-20 to 5-15-20 is probable.

It's just my opinion, but if they intended to change Anthem's Concierge Lounge to a Suite Lounge, they would have built Ovation that way.

Quantum is currently in drydock, surely that will set the trend. We are on her in Feb so watching closely.

While they may not be accurate, two different versions of the deck plan on the RCI web site and the RCI app still show a CL on Quantum.

 I agree 100%.

Just came back Saturday from b2b. We were allowed in the concierge.

Of course you were as a D+ allowed into the CL...it's when they change to SL that makes the difference.

We've used the CL on Anthem, Ovation and Quantum, they've never seemed that busy, it's a lovely view but not sure whether people are put off with walking to the back of the ship past cabins, and Suite guests have access to Coastal Kitchen so may just choose to congregate there.   I hope they retain them as a CL though.

The deck plans show the CL remaining as a CL after dry dock.

When I was on Anthem last month I was assured that it was not going to change.

Anthem is not part of the Amp programme so there are no major changes/additions that we know of.

Yes, I know it’s a matter of time before we get kicked out once they will turn it into a suite lounge.

It was a bit strange walking thru all the cabins to reach the lounge especially when the cabin attendants were trying to work and had to stop what they were doing to let the people pass.
