fatbird Posted February 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I thought I'd seen a reference here about a Platinum/Elite lounge on the Ruby Princess,but when I looked at the deck plans I couldn't find it. Can someone please tell me what deck it's on? Thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromep Posted February 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2023 There is not a dedicated Concierge Lounge as on the Royal class ships. However, you should receive an invite to the nightly Captain's reception, for Suite and Elite passengers, and that usually occurs in Skywalkers.

On the ruby, since we have been on her several times in the past few months, the elite lounge is in skywalker's Lounge - deck 17 aft......the Captain's party is in the vista lounge on deck 7 aft. We will be going again on March 5th....the Skywalker's elite lounge is a lovely event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDDY0827 Posted February 11, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Actually, it is the happy hour lounge for suite, elite and platinum passengers. Special pricing on a select number of drinks and snacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is only for elite and suite passengers - not sure because we are elite and often go by there at 5pm for an appetizer and a drink. the captain's party in the Vista Lounge is for elite and platinum passengers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Guardsy Posted February 11, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2023 We are both Platinum, but have been bumped to a suite on the Caribbean Princess. We also have the drink package. But, we WILL plan to take advantage of every perk of a suite-holder, as we are likely to never have this opportunity again. Advice / Suggestions are encouraged!

Nope. It is the P/E/S lounge. Platinum/Elite/Suite. Maybe 6 discounted drinks and freebie snacks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad someone finally got it right! Also, it is not a dedicated location on the ship (not on the deck plans). It varies by ship as well as the number of platinum, elite and suite passengers. That being said, on the Ruby, it is a safe bet that it will be in Skywalkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started with Skywalkers and then the next week, they changed it to the Vista. Not getting many coming to Skywalkers for it, they said. We’ve also had it in the wheelhouse bar. Just pay attention to your paper on embarkation day, showing your elite activities for that cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PES event is every evening except Captain's Circle event evening and includes a selection of hors d'oeuvres and a selection of discounted cocktails - or any drink you want at full price (of covered by whatever drink package you may have)..
