Video Highlights:
A complete, unedited walkthrough of the Crown Lounge's seating, bar, and design elements.
The Crown Lounge (formerly known as the Diamond Lounge) on Royal Caribbean ships is an exclusive venue designed for the cruise line's most loyal guests in the Crown & Anchor Society loyalty program.
It is not a general suite amenity, which is a key distinction from the separate Suite Lounge/Concierge Lounge on many ships.
Who Has Access to the Crown Lounge:
Access to the Crown Lounge is strictly limited to top-tier members of the Crown & Anchor Society:
- Diamond status
- Diamond Plus status
- Pinnacle Club status.
Important Note on Suite Guests:
Guests staying in suites do not automatically get access to the Crown Lounge. Access is based purely on your Crown & Anchor Society status. If a suite guest has not reached the required Diamond status (80+ cruise points), they will not be granted access to the Crown Lounge.
Conversely, a Diamond-level (or higher) member staying in a standard interior stateroom will have access.
Perks and Amenities of the Crown Lounge:
The lounge provides a quiet, dedicated space for top-tier members, often featuring portholes/windows for great views.
Key perks include:
- Complimentary Specialty Coffee: The lounge features a self-serve, push-button espresso maker that offers complimentary specialty drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and espressos throughout the day. This is a favorite perk, as higher-quality, espresso-based beverages are not available from the standard complimentary drip coffee stations on the ship.
- Complimentary Drinks (Happy Hour): The most popular perk is the nightly happy hour, where complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served.
Note: Since the pandemic, Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Club members receive daily complimentary drink vouchers loaded onto their SeaPass card, which can be redeemed at nearly any bar on the ship, not just in the lounge.
- Complimentary Continental Breakfast: A light breakfast is available each morning.
- Complimentary Evening Hors D'oeuvres/Snacks: Finger foods and light bites are available during the evening happy hour.
- Dedicated Concierge: A concierge is available in the lounge to assist with specialty dining reservations, show reservations, tender/shore excursion questions, and other requests.
- Exclusive Space: A reserved, quieter lounge to relax, read, or socialize away from the crowds.

The machines themselves are sometimes called "Pharmabox" because they sell pharmaceuticals and sundries.
This area offers essential items for passengers, such as:
- Over-the-counter medicines;
- Toiletries and feminine hygiene products;
- Electronics like chargers and headphones; and
- Snacks and other convenience items.
