Rare John&LaLa Posted June 12, 2022 #26 Share Posted June 12, 2022 10 minutes ago, Cigar King said: Interesting. So far, on the three cruises since start-up, we have not had a single card swipe for the lounge. Is a Pinnacle card in a suite marked to indicate as such or does it look the same as the non-suite Pinnacle card? Maybe they can't easily tell the difference? No real indication. You can ask for a suite card if they default to the gold. We've had both. Symphony was definitely swiping our card even though we were in a CLS. Harmony as well according to Laura Odyssey didn't, but we were pretty much the only couple there some nights. Before Pins were let back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to me that a little bit of ink could solve the problem. Afterall, they put "Prime" on my Wife's card and not mine. Why not just add "Suite" too?

Free drinks for 3 hours normally 5 to 8 pm, including wine beer and liquor normally with a 13 dollar limit, if you order something above 13 you pay the difference, example if you order a wine that is 15 dollars you pay 2 and tip so 2.18 .

wavechaser Posted June 12, 2022 #30 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Is there a suite lounge on Grandeur that offers the wine/beer from 11-11? That’s the difference between buying the drink pkg and not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinnacles were also able to do this before covid....does this still apply to pinnacles not in a suite like before?????/ On Adventure last month, Suite Concierge told us Pinnacles in the Suite Lounge depended on the number of Pinnacles aboard. Under a certain level - OK. Over that, they'd do a Pinnacle event in the Card Room up by the Imperial Lounge (as when we were on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually confusing if you're in a suite if you ask me. Drinks from SL/CK show up with a zero charge, but they don't seem to count against C&A coupon Now when not in a suite, the swipes with zero dollars do seem to count Harmony and maybe Symphony John, I’m confused! So if you are P in a regular cabin (not a suite), and you go to the Suite lounge - do your beer/wine drinks between 11-11 get taken from your 6 vouchers? What about during HH 5-8p; do your drinks get taken from your vouchers? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted June 15, 2022 #35 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Suite lounge should be just that! Few years ago we were in an OS on Allure and we couldn't find a seat in the SL before dinner due to all the Pins. Then as soon as the free cocktails ended the place emptied out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Royal is trying to limit the numbers of non-suite guests in the lounge. I did have a few cruises where only the suite guests were allowed and it was pretty nice. OTOH, there was plenty of room so some others guests could have attended. It will be interesting to see how the limits play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But service in lounge was excellent never needed to wait long for drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Pins who have never paid for a suite. Yes, they live close to the ports and do last minute cheap cruises several times a year and accumulate points to become Pins. When I pay $8,000 for an OS and fly across the country, I should get access to the SL before a Pins not in a suite. Maybe that makes me look "entitled" but then maybe I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I do think that Royal is trying to address the problem though by limiting access to the lounge depending on the numbers on board. I haven't sailed since they have been allowed back in and am looking forward to seeing how this plays out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
