coo359a2 Posted June 19, 2022 #27 Share Posted June 19, 2022 We were on the 10 Dec and 20 Dec Enchanted cruise. They actually had some interesting and tasty bites of food besides the normal snack food - shrimp, tartare, cheeses, veggie sticks. I remember there were meatballs, chicken and a few other finger type food served in tiny dipping-like bowls. Got on the Emerald 4 weeks later and the PES offerings were the standard ones that have been served forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were given an 8x11 sheet of paper with the times for the PES lounge, wine tasting and Captain's Circle Party. The PES lounge is open from 4:30 to 6:30 every night except the night of the Captain's Circle party. There is a smack table set up with different offerings all served by the staff (no self-service) but no advance notice of what is offered. One night they had the boiled shrimp which I love but just happened to be there that night. There are no discounted drinks offered. Most though have the Plus package so all the alcoholic drinks are included (less than $15 I believe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan9945 Posted June 19, 2022 #29 Share Posted June 19, 2022 We are on the Enchanted Princess later this year. Where was the Platinum and Elite lounge on your cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista lounge. They didn't serve anything you couldn't order in the DR. I suppose if you were going to take advantage of the discounted drink it might be worth it but since most people had the Plus Package they didn't attend. You might as well get a drink in the DR and order an appetizer so you can eat it while seated. My feeling is that they might do away with the Platinum and Elite lounge some day altogether unless the attendance increases when the ships fill up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vakamalua Posted June 19, 2022 #31 Share Posted June 19, 2022 If we're traveling with a couple who is not Platinum or Elite, can they come with us to the lounge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we were Platinum, we were allowed in as guests of friends sailing in a suite. In January on Regal, we brought SIL and DN with us every night, nobody was even checking medallion colors. Technically, I don't think non PES passengers are allowed in the lounge but it's worth a try. Sometimes it is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted June 19, 2022 #33 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Princess can sell more drinks by allowing anyone in the lounge, so why wouldn't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittens101 Posted June 19, 2022 #34 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Ok I must be missing something. We have been platinum for awhile and have never gotten any card in our cabin. We’ve been missing out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been on the Caribbean, Enchanted and Emerald since cruising resumed and have not received the card showing the dates with the main snack item served on each day. These used to be in our cabin when we got there. Have heard the L&E Manager tell people they were not doing this anymore. No idea if her statement was correct or not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One embarkation day, we did get a paper with the place and times, but they haven’t listed the food, like they did precovid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted June 20, 2022 #37 Share Posted June 20, 2022 We have attended a few times over the years - but the drink specials are never anything we'd care for, and I really don't need a snack on my way to dinner - so mostly we pass on it unless we are with friends who want to meet up there. We have had them all over the ships (different venues) and the last few we did get a card in the cabin - but this was pre-Covid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayandshirl Posted June 28, 2022 #39 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The best thing about the lounge is where it's held. The views are wonderful with a drink to enjoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be one on each ship. Ask the Loyalty and Events Manager (Captain Circle Host/Hostess) where it will be set up.

mvaldes140 Posted June 28, 2022 #41 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I was just on Regal in November and the lounge was inside Club 6. Far from great views from there, but we didn't have plus so the $6 cocktails were nice one night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Regal, it is usually in Club 6 (next to the casino) and usually starts around 4:30. On Grand Class ships that have a Skywalker's it is usually there. (that's where the great views are...) The lounge is usually closed the day they have the Captain's Circle party. You should have gotten either a card in your cabin on embarkation day, or it could be on a sheet of paper listing other events as well. On your next cruise, ask at either the Captain's Circle desk or Passenger Services desk. In my opinion, these lounges are generally sparsely attended but the good part of that is a shorter line at the snack table. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted June 29, 2022 #43 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Emerald was in Club fusion(5pm-7pm) never popped our heads in except the Captains night(5pm OR 7pm) for the numbers. There was a status letter for each of us in the cabin with the details and times of our perks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes hard to find a seat even in Skywalker's....at least pre-covid. Even on the Sky earlier this year, it was well attended but not really crowded but we only had a total of about 1300 passengers on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
