Rare vacationlover_mn Posted December 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2019 As soon as the 2022 Season opens, I will be booking our first cruise as diamond 🙂. We want to book the ship with the best diamond lounge we haven’t been on yet. Of these, which has your fave diamond lounge? all of quantum class Empress All of vision class Voyager Navigator Mariner Serenade Jewel All of Freedom Class (I’ve been on Indy, but DH has not) Thanks!!!

I should be more specific... one with a great view? I know many have been relocated to lower decks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted December 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Vision class are deck 6 aft and have a great view. And are even better when they overflow in the adjacent lounge. Quantum class are deck 4 forward / starboard so the view is limited. Overflow is in the adjacent Music Hall.

nelblu Posted December 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Oasis class on 12th deck overlooking Boardwalk, before the retro fit. Love the Voyager when it overflows space to the Crown Lounge. Can't remember the Radiance class as I haven't been on for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted December 18, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Empress has no diamond lounge, concierge lounge or suite lounge. if your ship choice has to do with a lounge, do not book Empress. m 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to book the ship with the best diamond lounge we haven’t been on yet. You are approaching this all wrong. You want to start with the worst DL and work your way up. It'll give you something to look forward to! Maybe a ship that does not have a dedicated DL but maybe a Diamond event? If you start with the best, there is no place to go but down.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL on Voyager has been moved in recent re-furb to Deck 5 adjacent to Star Lounge. The existing DL on Deck 14 is now Suite Lounge. Will first check this out in March, but I'm sure we will miss the views from Deck 14 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted December 18, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Love the ones that are still up in the Viking Crowne Lounge. We don't even go to the ones on the Oasis Class or Navigator as you are in a box. We have the package, so we just go to either Schooner's on the Oasis Class or down to the Pub on Navigator.

If Radiance set up is anything like Brilliance and Jewel, the DL is very small with no bar, and waiters have to go all the way around the other side of the Viking Crown (or whatever they call it on the different ships) to get you a drink. The CL does have a bar, though. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILCTCRUISER Posted December 19, 2019 #24 Share Posted December 19, 2019 DLs on Freedom and Voyager Class (at least those ships on which the DL is still located on deck 14). Not a great deal of ambiance but they have the view and on cruises with fewer Ds and above they tend to have ample room. On cruises with many Ds and above the overflow usually ends up being the VCL and that's also good. Radiance Class DLs, though smaller, have the windows and the overflow usually moves into the VCL. Some will have the portable bar set-up. If not, the waiters need to use the service bar to fill orders, and that takes them off the floor for a bit.
