Irons are confiscated. They will find them when they scan your suitcases and give them back when you return to the origin. I tried to be sneaky a few times but have given up.

Ovation of the Seas Computer Glitch. The online reservation system to book specialty restaurants and excursions is not working. Royal Caribbean has not figured it out as of yet. 2016 (April 17-22) 5-night to France and Belgium, visiting Cherbourg, Le Havre-Paris, Zeebrugge Thank you

My wife and I are at the Diamond level. We will reach Diamond Plus level at the end of 2016. I would hope that RC does not move the Diamond Plus points level further away from us. The cost to give us a few drinks every day does not cost them that much. I could see RC creating a couple levels between Diamond Plus and Pinnacle. Allowing us access only the in the Diamond and Diamond Plus Lounge is fine. Suite lounge and the Concierge Lounge is off limits to us. We have not earned that level thus we have not been awarded that access. Spending money at specialty restaurants, on board experiences could be a way to achieve additional points. Buying points is a bad concept. Points should always be earned by nights at sea. I have a friend that is Diamond Plus. He and his wife and son take a RC cruise two or three times a year.The husband and wife became Diamond Plus five years ago and since then every cruise from then on they have put in their son's name using his credit card. The parents paid the cc bill. At 21 years old and still in college the son is now Diamond Plus. Current cruises they take are now registered and paid for by the parents and they are back to accumulating points. Thank you JR
