Concierge Club Lounge and Coastal Kitchen

[FM]

Does the Concierge Club Lounge aboard the Quantum class ships ever get too busy/crowded? Are you confined to drinking your free evening cocktails within the lounge itself?

 

RE Coastal Kitchen, understanding is that reservations need to be made ahead of time? Is it rare that one wouldn't be able to dine in the Kitchen if you are a Suite guest and it's too busy?

 

Thanks.

Granted, it was November - staff shortages but also lower capacity sailings.  On Symphony we were unable to get into the CK several nights (Sky Class Suite x 2 families).

We had them screw up our reservation on a recent cruise and there was no space.  So, yes, you can end up not being able to dine in CK even if you are in a full suite.

Was in a grand suite on Anthem three weeks ago.  The lounge was pretty dead (week before pinnacles were allowed back in).  Suite guests only get free cocktails in the lounge from 5-8 pm with no limits.  We made reservations for dinner in Coastal Kitchen before the cruise by e-mailing the Suite Concierge.  She sent an e-mail back confirming reservations.  Not needed for breakfast and lunch.

Unlikely most suite guests would make the long trek back there very often.

Agreed. Just spent two weeks on Anthem in a suite. Being D+ and having the free drinks to enjoy anywhere on the ship, we rarely made the long trek to the lounge. The few times we were there, it wasn’t very crowded.
