Outside of happy hour they are a very nice quiet place to get away from the commorion of the ship. And on many ships, Freedom and Voyager class for example, they have a great location with ocean views.

 

"commorion"

 

I got all excited, thinking I was going to learn a new word today!!!  😄

Bummed it was a typo............................

I've never used the 3 drinks. I went into the DL once and nothing listed I liked and left. Now that i heard you can order a margarita i will, just curious if i can order during dinner any of the 3 drinks.

 

 

I think most ships allow use of Diamond loaded drinks on SeaPass card during dinner. It might be limited to those alcohols on the Diamond list.

Three drinks on sea pass card are good at almost all bars, MDR, specialty dining and show rooms.  Odd someone said they just found out Margaritas are included.  It is hard to find a cocktail that is not included.

They may have been looking for the blender version which has only recently (this year) been included.

The Diamond Lounge just won't be the same with social distancing. 

You will have to wait on line-to enter.  Typically the room has standing room only and is mobbed.!

I understand your point about the space being valuable. However, maybe now the cruise lines will re-think this trend of jambing more cabins, and people, onto the ships. Too many people who are too close together definetely has its issues.

Yeah that's a fair point - although the money they've lost I think will 'cloud' their judgement somewhat!

I guess we have been lucky.  Other than the first night, the Diamond Lounge on our Anthem cruises was quite enjoyable.  They use the Music Hall for  overflow and after people leave for first seating it empties out.

On  Harmony it was a little bit busier but still not horrible.

I have only done 4 cruises as Diamond and my experience has been like yours. One cruise, it was busy at opening but when it was time for first seating, it would clear out a bit.  Also as the cruises wore on there were less participation.

 

Not sure if it was the timing of our cruises of what.

 

Another aspect of the Diamond Lounges, my wife likes the coffee drinks she can get in the morning.

It is nice popping in for a cappuccino during the day.  Usually, the room is very quiet.

I think he should drink more of it. It tastes much better as the night goes on.😉

I don’t drink that crappy NA Some do. I bet they wouldn’t if it wasn’t FREE.

Most all alcohol is better the more you drink. Just getting around those first few.

Then stop the blah, blah, blah about it. I personally don't mind NA used in my cape codder or bloody mary.  Free or not!

NA in a cosmo is not bad, as long as the drink isn’t too strong.  Too much vodka ruins a cosmo, in my opinion.

if you include the Suite lounge (anybody in a suite can get in these - they kicked the +'s to make room )

When was D+ allowed in the SL’s? How does one get “kicked out” of something they NEVER had access too?

It works just fine in my Cosmos too. Thinking back to January sitting on my balcony on Adventure watching the ocean go by with a Cosmo made with NA vodka in hand. Life was good 3 months ago.

The question is, would you still prefer NA if it wasn’t FREE?
