No dedicated Diamond, Concierge, or Suite Lounge on Majesty.

 

They do hold a nightly free cocktail period in VIking Crown.

It's unlimited drinks in the Viking Crown.

 

[fisher joe]

thanks

The only difference really is no coffee machine for D on Majesty.  The front half of the VCL functions like a DL with snacks like other DL's and drinks served by waiters with no swiping per drink during happy hour.  Same happy hour menu as other ships.

 

The rest of the day the VCL is public.

I can't remember where I read it - probably the other place - but supposedly Majesty will be ending its "happy hours in the VCL" and become like Empress - vouchers only.

They may ask to see your SeaPass card once to confirm your C&A level, but probably won't need to see it for every drink.

Though no dedicated CL/DL/SL on Majesty, we really enjoyed the cocktail event in the VCL.  Superior munchies too!  At first they asked to see your sea pass card, and "guard dogs" were at the entrance to the lounge.  Then later they did not.  

 

What you will not see is a dedicated concierge person, and of course...my favorite perk is missing...the coffee machine.  😮

 Just got off the Majesty

the Viking crown happy hour was from 4-8pm . they checked our card the first night only to verify

Breakfast for diamond  etc. is 3rd floor dining room. Includes the cappucino coffee. Same thing checked our card the first morning only. times varied a little depending on port or sea day.

Ahhhh yes I remember recently reading that. Supposedly Vernon got an email stating that it will be ending the first of the year.

I am really bummed to see this. DL is where we enjoy meeting so many fellow cruisers. We've made lifelong friends. To us, it's not so much the 'free' booze, it's all about the opportunity to meet others.

You can still go up there and use your 3 drink vouchers!  🙂  Just no munchies set out.  And MJ does not have a DL anyway.  The VCL was used to hold the "Suites/Diamond and above cocktail event"  

 

And yes, we agree.  We love the lounges on the ships that have them for the same reason.  Chatting with others we meet (and also indeed long time friends) that all have the same thing in common.  We love to cruise, and cruise often!  😁

There are many places to meet others.  Just say "hi" to the person next to you like you might do in a Diamond Lounge.  Or, share a table in the dining room. 

 

We were on the walk around deck on majesty a few months ago, at sail away,  and started a conversation with another couple  We  hit it off spent two beach  days together.  We still keep in touch.    There were first time RCCL cruisers.

enjoy

Truth be told I met the best bunch of folks on different Empress sailings at the Schooner Bar.  It became our unofficial happy hour meeting point (the ship suggested D members use the VCL as a public happy hour gathering place which was empty).  

 

While disappointing to see, the Schooner Bar on MJ could also become an unofficial meeting point for happy hour participants.

 

I've run into more cruisers from my times on Empress compared to any other ship.  I'm sailing with one on Vision right now.  I sailed with some on Navigator in September and Majesty in October.  I'm sailing with some of them again on Oasis in December.

 

It's possible to enjoy the same social benefits on any ship, possibly more so since the DL happy hour on some ships is so very busy and often over crowded. 

[cruisegirl1]

Twangster  is spot on.  And, since  smaller ships have fewer bars, you will often see the same folks.  

 

Enjoy

I was just coming to post the same thing.  Well said Marci- lots of people seem to think that the DL's are the only places to meet folks.  There are like minded folks in ALL the bars and dining venues.🍺

Did a B2B solo on Majesty recently (I’m the cookie lady)

The nice thing about VCL was lack of loud music. It was easy to have conversations with others without having to shout over the music.

We are sailing on the Majesty out of NOLA in Feb. of 2020.  I am disappointed to hear that there will be no designated bar for happy hour.  We are Diamond Plus and had expected a lounge with snacks to be available in the evening.  No doubt this will make all of the bars very busy in the evenings with lines to get drinks before dinner.  I am sure we will enjoy the cruise anyway but keeping track of vouchers is never fun.

We are on the Majesty next month.  If the VC does not host a happy hour, we will find a lounge on the ship that suits us, most likely still the VC, and let our bar server know that we come in every night and our preferred drinks.  An extra tip helps, too, on top of the usual dollar per drink we pay.

Extra Tip for what? Good service or extra "Free" Drinks?
