Lots of new Pinnacle’s in the future. Congratulations. 

 

Well, you can congratulate me the end of January 2022, if it all works out.  I don't care what lounge I go to, but I can say that while in a very crowded one last year, I was wistfully looking through the glass wall into the Suite / Pinnacle Lounge that was 90% empty...........................

I dont think there is any chance of me hitting 750 loyalty pts it's so far away, not unless I moved closer to a port. If I lived in a port and could uber it and not pay parking would go more.

 

Congrats early to you.

Generally, it’s not an issue. But on some cruises it is.

One nice thing about being able to get with the LA on board...get the preferences corrected.  😉 

My last cruise in Jan on Adventure I had not received my usual bottle of wine. I went to talk to the LA. He pulls up my account and says that it shows that I was sent a fruit plate. I say to him... don't send me anything that I can get for free in the Windjammer. The bottle was in my cabin after turn downs that evening.☺

Just like the cookies....ummm..really?  Can pick up fresher ones myself, versus yesterday's leftovers.  😉

Actually you are closer than you think....it's only 700 points...not 750.  😉

Lol I'll be over 200 in no time ...if cruises ever resume. It's those next 500 pts that will probably take more time than I'll be cruising unless I move. And only book rcl.. 

 

I did price palm coast and palm bay last night and wow on prices. Sure up since I lived in florida. Maybe closer to venice fl by my cousin, but he isnt right be a port either but I'd be close to family.

So it was OK when they banned D+ from the CL ?

I think so.  is there any significant difference in the offerings of one lounge or the other these days?

Well, "these days" there is no difference at all.😉

You are misunderstanding.  I am not saying that Pinnacles should be banned from the Suite Lounge.  I was quoting M8 who, in essence, said that.

 

No, it was not okay that D+ were banned from the CL

Not necessarily.  They can pay for suites too.

Not the point!  The implication was that Pinnacles who don't travel in suites should be banned from the Suite Lounge.

That is the point.  If they want access to the suite lounge, they can pay for it.

I'll have to take your word for it.  I'm not really a wine drinker.

Have never found a decent Sauvignon Blanc on the ship.  Unless I bring it on myself...but tough to do on B2Bs.  😉

That's basically what I see as well.  Now, I concede that sometimes one lounge has a nicer view or location, but, other than that, there's not really a lot of difference.  

 

Too me, the real difference is one of perception.  There's something about being in a space that others are excluded from.

If you are B2B you can bring on board your allotment for each week.  Be sure to have your paperwork handy for the 2nd week to show that you are B2B.

The DL was a lot more crowded than the CL used to be...and also size and location of the different lounges varies by ship. I think it was a definite demotion for the D+ to be kicked out.

Agree!  Take Anthem, for instance.  It was a beautiful CL spanning the entire aft of the ship with open views.  In addition, in our experience never crowded.  The DL, however, overcrowded with no view.

I think that's the whole point.  The lounges are basically the same.  There may be some differences, but, they are minor in comparison.

 

It's a perception that one is superior than the other.  That's the real difference.

Lol I took it as the wine is better at home during your home happy hour.

 

Going to be a lot more D+ with double pts, and having them in the suite lounge, will just make it crowded lol. Heck I've only been in diamond lounge once and I'll be diamond + in a year, sometime, .. have no idea. If my April cruise goes would help. Wouldnt cruise again on rcl for a year. Dec 2021. I've given up on guessing when cruises will resume. .but I'm guessing will be a lot more whenever we start back, soon after. Ka boom!

Loved the one on Anthem...and the fact that it had it's own bathroom was a plus.

Agree about the DL on that ship. 

It actually varies so much by ship...some the DL was a better space..We loved the DL on Radiance with the overflow and the great views.

[Ocean Boy]

I really like the DL location on Voyager and Freedom class ships. Unfortunately, some of them lost their outside seating area when the suite lounges were added. The outside seating for the SLs required a relocation of the staging area for the rock walls which took the DL outside area.

Yeah, unless you are flying to a port.  😉   The duty free liquor shop in PR is a joke, and in fact sold me what should have been a good SB...at a tune of 40 bucks...but it was cooked...nasty.  They don't refund, was stuck.
