Big_G Posted April 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2023 As davekathy said DL would be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted April 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The concierge club on Radiance class ships is superior to the Diamond Club. You can walk outside the concierge club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted April 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I felt the suite lounge was better than the Diamond lounge for the bridge as you can go outside. I'd suggest you go outside, and use the glass door to view from the area by the rock climbing wall, or perhaps even further so you get a good all around view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted April 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2023 There is no suite lounge on Serenade...it is still simply the old concierge lounge. Yes, you can walk outside of the CL on Serenade through a set of doors, but will only have a view of starboard side and towards the aft. As Dave pointed out...view will still be better in the DL, or even better yet...the VCL which has views on both sides and forward. Nice circular bar (that rotates!) in there as well. Our usual hang out place. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted April 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2023 For us, there is only one place to watch going under the bridge - all the way forward and as high up as they allow passengers. Any other place on board is underwhelming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted April 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The concierge clubs on Radiance class ships are the best in the fleet. Outside, and a bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 281 nights on a Radiance Class ship, we have never seen the soot that posters are referring to in recent posts. The Diamond Club only has a view of one side of the ship.

When we were allowed in the CL (enter ships name here) we still preferred the DL over the CL. So making SLs from CLs was a bummer for us. Personnel preference only and we still enjoy going into the DL for a predinner snack and drink or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted April 21, 2023 #18 Share Posted April 21, 2023 If you want a great view of the bridge, go out on the top deck in the front of the ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not been good since they have been kicking even Pinnacles out of the Concierge Club when there are the arbitrary TOO many Pinnacles. We love Radiance Class ships, so I'm a little biased, hahaha. We peeked into the CC when we were shut out, it's mostly empty. The Concierges I have spoken with are not happy. Plus, there are usually hundreds of D, D+, and Pinnacles trying to speak to their one concierge in the DC. <SAD> Fortunately, Concierge Clubs on Radiance class ships have not been converted to a SL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is a capacity limit for pins, as long as the total number on board is below the limit, we are welcome in the SL. Currently on Wonder in a JS and we have been in CK every evening of the cruise, and have breakfast there every morning, and dinner most evenings.

It's been nice to be able enjoy the suite/concierge lounge with the new limits in place. When the numbers of Pinns are low, they're in, when they're high, they're not. Aren't all limits basically arbitrary on some level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
