I guess I better not mention my visit to the Delta Crown Room then....oops!

So now we know why Delta is really closing Crown Rooms. Read about it

The Crown room in concourse T at ATL is huge. It was all but empty on Sunday afternoon. The smaller ones in the other concourses are usually packed. I get to use it as a perk for my AMEX platinum card. I wonder if people with regular AMEX cards should sue because they can't use the Crown room?

I just received a brochure from Cunard for the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria. If I read it correctly, Queen Suite guests have their own dining room. They don't call it First Class vs Steerage, but . . . I do know that if I don't sail suites, I don't get the perks. It's the same whether you're on a plane or a ship or in a deluxe hotel or whatever. Do you think they'll send letters to join the class to past NCL cruisers? It'll be interesting to see what the settlement terms will be. If I remember correctly from my Carnival settlement (this was at least 10 years or so ago), it was $50 off a cruise to be taken within 1 year... I know I didn't use it, I wonder how many did.

As I had suspected would happen, I was unable to make a reservation for Le Bistro on our cruise this past weekend. Should I go for some recourse? Or should I just be thankful that the meal I had instead in La Trattoria was superb (possibly one of our best ever), and that I saved $75 that would have been spent on our party of five?
