The management finally gave in.

Well the ships management finally gave in and from tonight they are allowing an overflow lounge, for the diamond and diamond plus guests.
Why the hell they didn't just do it from the beginning of the cruise I'll never know.
Poor Mel the diamond concierge had to put up with four days of abuse from some of the passengers, which I think is well out of order as she's only doing as the management tell her. At least on the last transatlantic on the Indy, when I was actively involved in the complaining about  the overflow lounges, we went to the top and spoke to the hotel director.
This time I decided to let someone else do the moaning.
