PokrChick Posted May 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2022 My upcoming cruise will be my first as diamond. None of the people I'm travelling with are diamond. In fact, two of the four of us have never cruised before. So my question is - can I fill a plate of snacks for all of us in the diamond lounge and then leave with the plate? From the pictures I'm seeing, the snacks look unique to DL. Clearly I could be wrong about that part. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompson4131 Posted May 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The quick answer is "No". The Diamond Lounge Concierge sits by the door and may stop & question you why you're taking a large plate of food out of the club. These snacks are not worth this kind of effort in my opinion. Besides, with the 4 drink voucher you'll receive, why even go there to begin with if your friends can't enter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted May 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2022 This question seems sort of like 'can I go by myself to an all-you-can-eat buffet and fill a plastic lined purse with enough food to have a party with my friends later?' 15 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted May 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2022 There's really nothing that special about the snacks there. There's plenty of places on the ship to get food without abusing DL privileges 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last three cruises the DC has been very crowded. On Allure in December, as example, to the extent that after the first night we never went back. And on our Ovation Hawaii-Vancouver in 2019 there were over 600 D's and up and they opened the Music Hall for the DC instead! (Which was actually quite fun!) But now with the coupons every venue can be the DC - less the snacks. But agree with the yummy snacks! 😉 Edited May 4, 2022 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted May 4, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Every time I go to the DL during Happy Hour, it is packed with no seats available. I will grab a couple snacks and bring them out others in my party (some Diamond, some not) to nibble on while we sip a cocktail. I have never been stopped or questioned by the Concierge on my way out. As others have said, the plates are small so there is not a lot of room for lots of food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingos Posted May 4, 2022 #22 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The only thing I have seen in the Diamond Lounge that 'special' is a lovely 3-fruit danish for breakfast - kiwi slice, a grape and a strawberry half on cream. Yum. The happy hour offerings were all meh, and lukewarm. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted May 4, 2022 #23 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I have seen some DL food porn pics here that look a lot more enticing than what I have experienced in person so don't get too excited. The real life experience may not live up to expectations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymncruise Posted May 4, 2022 #25 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The welcome letter says not to take items from the lounge. I always take my coffee down to the Viking lounge and the concierge opens the door for me. I don’t think they care if you’re taking a little for yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
