elizabethbp Posted July 29 #1 Share Posted July 29 I am on the Liberty shortly- first time for that ship and also first time as a Diamond. Does anyone know the hours for the Lounge? is there a chance the hours could be restricted ( this is a Bermuda cruise). Do they really restrict access to only Diamond cruisers? Any info appreciated.

Restrictions, if any, would be during the afternoon happy hour and that would depend on the number of D+ and up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker just posted the info.. Diamond, Diamond plus and pinnacles only access it with your sea pass card, so that excludes anyone not allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted July 29 #4 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Happy hour is typically 5 to 8. They serve hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Vouchers must be used for any drinks, besides tap water and self-serve coffee. You can use your 4 "Diamond" vouchers at any bar or dining venue on Liberty. The Crown lounge is open 24 hours, serving continental breakfast in the morning and snacks mid day. The self-serve coffee machine is usually available from around 7 am to 10 or 11 pm (times vary).

What ship(s) restricted D+ during Happy Hour? I have heard and experienced first hand Ds not being allowed in the lounge during Happy Hour. But I have never heard of D+ being denied access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ships have blocked Diamond Plus's from entering Crown Lounge during HH. As you correctly stated, sometimes Diamond level cruisers may be blocked during HH if the number of Pinnacles AND Diamond Plus exceed a certain number. Why people have to spread false information is beyond me. Edited July 30 by TYMAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody here has reported to my knowledge that D+ have ever been restricted. If so, no doubt we would hear the screaming!😲 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinnacles only during happy hour. The result was almost empty Cosmopolitan club that looked like this every night. Felt sorry for the many guests that were turned away it was a private party for D and D+. At the time we had been D+ for many years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't run into that--and now that the Crown Lounge (Diamond Lounge) in down in the dark corner on deck 5, I've not seen it be busy. I'd happily be 'allocated' the Cosmopolitan Club as a replacement location. Was this during the return from Covid when they drastically limited the amount of people?

marci22 Posted July 30 #13 Share Posted July 30 The Crown lounge was ok but for drinks on our last two Liberty cruises, we preferred the bartenders at Olive or Twist, right outside. They always made the best drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we needed masks for the 2021 cruise but I think they just dropped the masks for the second cruise. I do remember the 2021 cruise on Navigator had about a total of 650+- guests. I could easily be off by a year on both dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily be off by a year on both dates. I think that is why D+ weren't allowed. Until they dropped the social distancing, they only allowed a fraction of the normal amount of people. That's different than what they are doing now. If they are above a certain threshold of Pinnacles and D+, then the Crown Lounge doesn't allow diamonds during the appetizer happy hour, but Diamond can come in any other time without restriction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH. Can you imagine the unlucky person who gets to be the lounge police in this situation ? That must be a horrible, horrible job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this causing upset if you are Diamond and are asked to leave at 5pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
