Apparently my fare class doesn't qualify although it may be worth another phone call.
For UK departures there is a list of destinations where the hotel room will be available. These are from NCL and GLA only and can be seen here:

There is no mention of any distinction between fare classes on that page.
On the global site there is a list of applicable fare classes.

If you have a Diners Club or Premium Mastercard they can also be used to gain lounge entry.
