These lounges can only accommodate so many people. D+ members don’t worry. Pinnacles will be next. Of course it did we booked about 7-8 cruises with double points. I honestly do not want Pinnacles to suffer .. and frankly I am not suffering at all. Gap between D+ and P is huge. I don't expect huge number of P anyway. As a former cruiser with multi lines ... RCI is not risking much. I do not remember similar benefits on most if not all of other lines. Especially comparable in quality/pricing.

Ah, yet in the actual benefits list there will probably be a footnote stating Pinnacles access will be dependent on capacity controls. I’m still a couple hundred points from PC; I won’t count on having access when I get there. My points are growing from joy of cruising with no great rush to reach PC due to my low expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there is not - I looked. The footnote simply says access is restricted to suite and pinnacle guest and you are not allowed to bring other non-suite/pinnacle guest into the lounge. Kids must be accompanied by an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted December 12, 2022 #87 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I prefer to have my cocktails in some venue where I can sidle up to the bar and sit on a barstool😇 Some of you who know me know that this is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You apparently don't know what RCI means. 😄 RCI = Really Consistently Inconsistent. They are NOT going to allow non-suite Pinns in the CL/SL on Pinn heaving sailings (TAs, the President's cruise, etc). They will set up a PL.

teddie Posted December 12, 2022 #95 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) We are new to Diamond and will be sailing as such in February 2023. I am extrememly pleased that we are getting 4 drink vouchers each per day, and have access to the DL. We pay upcharges for the things we really want, and have had great experiences on our cruises. OK; the highest category we have ever sailed are JSs, as we don't typically want to shell out thousands more. What I dislike intensely is the snobbery and entitlement voiced by some posters here. Honestly, you complainers sound like a bunch of resentful cheapskates. Sorry but that's how it comes across.

I've seen both the coffee machine and the door broken by pax (or in one case, non-D friends of pax) who didn't have a clue how to work them, figured if they banged them roughly enough they'd work faster, didn't read the signs re how to operate..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildergirl17 Posted December 12, 2022 #99 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think this will be a prelude to a change in Diamond Status....There are way too many Diamond club members and they have been hinting that they will no longer be given access to the Diamond Lounge and making that Diamond Plus Only....Just my thoughts..we have friends who are Pinnacle and they come to the Diamond Lounge we are More FUN.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light and windows cost extra on Royal 😉 I like to see the ocean when we are sat in a lounge having free drinks 🍹 And for the older ships with an Internal lounge, we use our coupons in lighted areas. Coupons are the better benefit than the lounge for D and D+ IMO Happy Days! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
