knots4crewzing Posted August 18, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi Everyone Hope you all are staying well!! We are so anxious to get back on a ship.🥰 Mask or not!! We have Anthem booked for next April and we are in a Junior suite🥰. Its kind of confusing as there are so many policies for the ships within Royal i need to ask > What are the policies for the CL ? We are also Diamond Plus and when we sailed on Quantum in a regular balcony we were allowed in the CL being D+. So can anyone clarify what the perks are there for a JR suite and D+ and if we can use the CL? Thank you Stay Safe Liz💐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the JS does nothing except get you in CK for dinner. At the end of the current season, Royal was banning D+ from the CL on Anthem. No idea what happens going forward Edited August 18, 2020 by John&LaLa 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the CL lounge on Quantum. We were on the Anthem a few years ago and for the life of me i cant remember if we used the CL🤣 It was a hike but so worth it. The view was amazing and it was so spacious. I forgot about the bathroom LOL 😆 Liz💐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorraineP Posted August 18, 2020 #14 Share Posted August 18, 2020 We (Diamond+) were on the Anthem end of January 2020 for 3 weeks & were not allowed in the CL lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeR&R Posted August 18, 2020 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Boarded Anthem Jan 5, 2020 and was told by two different officers at the Suite/Pinnacle cocktail party that going forward D+ would no longer have access to the present lounge (CL) and that it would be renamed to an SL at its next drydock. It is my understanding that those aboard Anthem on the remaining sailings before the Covid19 Pause either notified that D+ would not have access to the CL. The letter/email stated it was due to large numbers of D+ C&A members, but, to the best of my knowledge through discussions with other C&A members, those same letters/emails were sent/given to passengers on every ship from Jan 1, 2020 onward that still had a CL. I boarded Serenade Jan 31st, 2020 and was there until March 4. Every sailing on that ship received the same notification. I think it is very likely D+ have seen the last of the Lounge currently labeled "Concierge." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D+ may still them, you just may not be invited inside. Yes, all Anthem sailings got the notice about D+ no longer being invited. Biker, who wonders if the seemingly temporary allowance for a daily specialty coffee for D+ will remain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting to see what happens with Odyssey and should be tell tale regarding Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just about when the policy began. Sadly, they were not not being truthful. They gave the explanation that access for D+ to the CL would vary from cruise to cruise. It did not. It was a blanket policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though there were some sailings on some ships in Dec. that still allowed access for the most part, it began with sailings after Jan. 1, 2020. I believe that the only reason officers on board Anthem were so forthcoming about the change in policy was because some of us in the CL had witnessed several very loud/nasty interactions between passengers and the Concierge when those guests had walked in with other people and were politely directed to leave and utilize the Diamond Lounge, with the Concierge referencing the letter in their cabin.

I have never witnessed a confrontation in the CL. My experiences with Ricardo Mock also showed that he could care less when people walked into the lounge.
