There's probably an 18% gratuity fee worked in. 

Hangovers, expanding waistline, sore leg muscles (from all the dancing), severe reduction in cash position, and of course, being overwhelmed.

Yes, right behind the emerald lounge, so at least those green with envy got that much going for them.  (Green with envy of diamond)

Uhhh, didn't they tell you? The plat'num lounge is in the al fresco area of the WindJammer. 

I'm right there with you, but after next week if I flaunt my C&A status, it will be the color of your beard Senor.... ,....  Plat'num
Oooh, can't wait to visit the Plat'num lounge,...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe what the OP's though process is...is by removing the prepaid gratuities you can reward those who provide great services based accordingly with the tips...much like what we currently have in the U.S. Restaurant industry and those who don't provide a quality service accordingly.
@whenismynextcruise  Comments like yours aren't needed!  What is sad is that there are a select group of people that would choose not to tip at all!  
We all know that tips are used to supplement the low wages that they (Crew/Staff) are paid, thus why the cruise entertainment industry implemented the gratuity system.
What i like about this forum, unlike others... members tend to be more relaxed and don't attack other members base on disagreements.

Ah, but there's the grammar fun! If you were gaining balcony space, it would have read "Ocean View Spacious Balcony". 

Help me understand this?  How is a Spacious Ocean View Balcony 42 sq ft bigger than an Ocean view balcony 50 sq ft based on the listed description.  What am i missing? LOL
 
 

After checking in at the Cruise Terminal, you will be directed to sit with other guests in the same C&A level as you.  When boarding begins, they board from highest C&A level down to lowest.  
So being in C&A (even at Gold) means you get to board before the unwashed masses non-C&A members.

@monctonguy I guess RC figures Canadians are loaded with cash 

Only if I don’t beat you to it and become the next “Super Mario”... umm... “Super Giuseppe”? “Joey”? “That IT dude”?
??

You are SO lucky, oh wait, you live in Northern NJ......never mind 

Did you try unplugging your computer and then waiting 2 minutes, then turning it back on?
