madforcruising Posted September 8, 2006 #26 Share Posted September 8, 2006 thanksnota diamond member, noly sailed with RCCL X3. Staying in a balcony. Maybe we willl sneak in anyway to get a good cup of coffee in the am. Ha-- thanks again The Concierge Lounge is locked up and can only be accessed with a special key delivered to the cabins of eligible guests. So it will be hard for you to sneak in, especial in the am when the Concierge is on duty. My experience is that they know all their guests very well and they make themselves familiar with the faces, so they would recognize you not belonging there.

threeofus Posted September 8, 2006 #28 Share Posted September 8, 2006 When we were on the jewel in April the lounge was not crowded at all...the concierge did get to know every face and most names. Not sure which I enjoyed more...the early morning coffee without the crowds or the free cocktails..... Ok ok....the free cocktails --- Although the computer station is not free it is available most of the time - no waiting and it's quiet during the day and it's more private.

I was just about to print that post off, since we will be sailing on Radiance on September 23, and take it with me to Chops and see what kind of reaction I got.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyaJune Posted September 8, 2006 #34 Share Posted September 8, 2006 We just returned from the Explorer and it was our first time as diamond members and our first experience in the concierge lounge. Our concierge Carlos knows exactly who is supposed to be in there and we saw someone trying to bring a friend in with them and they were turned away. But it really is a great perk, especially the drinks before and after dinner, top shelf cognac, scotch, etc. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherb1958 Posted September 8, 2006 #35 Share Posted September 8, 2006 We have DEFINITELY had sandwiches and cookies one afternoon in the Concierge lounge. It may have been that they were leftovers and brought from another function but I know I didn't dream eating those delicate little sandwiches and cookies!:D Sorry, can't remember exactly which ship, but it was either the Jewel or Brilliance transatlantic last year.

madforcruising Posted September 9, 2006 #36 Share Posted September 9, 2006 This is why I want my inlaws to get a suite as well, so we can ejoy these perks together. My parents don't want to get one, and I can understand that as they wouldn't take advantage of much there. Anyone know if there are any pics of the lounges posted anywhere? Heidi Pics of the Concierge lounge on the Jewel are on my website http://www.gwall.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH8 Posted September 12, 2006 #38 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I saw mentioned above that there is internet access in the Club. Is this free to guests or is it just an available station and you'd still have to pay for the minutes you use? We'll be on the Explorer, if that makes a difference. Thanks! They dont have internet access in the Explorer(or Mariner) concierge lounges.......not sure about the other Voyager class ships......wasnt Diamond when we went on the Voyager. or Navigator.. There was internet access on the Serenade.......maybe its just a Radiance class concierge thing??:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Enchantment concierge also has terminals and I think, but am not positive, that Splendour does as well. There are internet terminals available in the Diamond Club on Freedom, but I am not sure if they are present in the Freedom's Concierge club. Perhaps someone who was in a Freedom suite can enlighten us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrkky Posted September 12, 2006 #40 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have two of my kids with me in our GS and the other one in a D1 with my sister. Please tell me that the kids will be welcome in the CL. We had access to the CL about three years ago on EOS, and it was never crowded, but based on these post, things must have changed. I may get a slap on the wrist if I bring my third child in, much less my sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree with Patrick, your kids in the GS would be invited until 5:30, however I don't think your other child or your sister are eligible, unless they are diamond members. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the third child is in fact a young adult (over 18), then no he or she would not have access. Usually concierge access is extended to children under 18 travelling with their parents, but that's about the only exception. The sister would not have access in any case (bummer, but them's the rules). Based on the reports, you will have crowds these days. The kids will be welcome, as long as they are with a parent, before 5:30 pm (cocktail time). beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get a slap on the wrist if I bring my third child in, much less my sister. During the day, crowds are rarely a problem so I don't think the concierge, who is only there for limited hours in the morning and evening anyway, will differentiate between those of your kids who are in the GS and the one who is in a D1. I wouldn't be too concerned because there really isn't much of anything aabout the concierge lounge that will appeal to young kids. It is a nice quiet lounge during the day but there are many other places on the ship that will be much more attractive to your kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseonly Posted September 12, 2006 #47 Share Posted September 12, 2006 rrkky might be able to bring her sister in with her. Does everyone entering the lounge need the special key, or do they check your cabin number and name as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted September 12, 2006 #48 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Its not like there is anything going on there during the day except for the coffee................dont think the kids want that.........

bobbie0253 Posted September 12, 2006 #49 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Our kids liked the lounge during the day. They do have hot chocolate for the kids. They also have some games there. Our kids play chess and it was a nice quiet place to sip coffee and play a game or two. Here are pics of the lounge: Explorer: http://public.fotki.com/bobbie0253/coming_soonexplorer/dsc_0500.html Voyager: http://public.fotki.com/bobbie0253/coming_soon_voyager/dsc_7474.html Jewel: http://public.fotki.com/bobbie0253/coming_soonjewel_of/dsc_1855.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
