Does the Independence have a Diamond Lounge?

[RCLDIAMONDIAM]

it has been long before pre-COVID that I've cruised and we are taking the Independence day after Thanksgiving.

It's been difficult to determine if there is a Diamond Lounge still, and where is it? and what has changed compared to how they used to run the Diamond Lounge?

Any insights would be appreciated

We were on Indy in Sept and the Diamond Lounge is still there in the same place it’s always been.

Yes, deck 14. The C&A HH is still happening in the evenings but snacks are served instead of self services and C&A drinks are no longer unlimited in the DL. D get 4 drinks, D+  get 5 drinks and Ps get 6 drinks each day loaded on your Seapass card for most bars including the DL.

Yes.  Deck 14.  Olive & Twist is forward, Suite Lounge is on the port side and Diamond Lounge is on the starboard side.  Here is the Suite Lounge.

This is the Independence Diamond lounge which also has outside seating.

Looks nothing like that inside now. Very spaced out.

I think Indy has one of the nicest DL in the fleet.

It was there in August.  I thought it was exactly the same as Liberty DL from previous years.  Will be on Liberty next week to compare.

 

Less furniture due to covid.  Lots of overflow in OliveOrTwist.
