I think 1 credit (7 points) was for cruises up to 12 nights and then it was 2 points. Still it’s crazy to equate 3 nighters and 10 nighters to 7 points. We lost 7 points (a cruise) on this conversion. Oh well, we moved on.
I missed “don’t really like cruising”. They don’t cruise to have fun, but to be allowed into one of lounges for some snacks for several hours. If this is not happening they wasted lifetime of cruising
You do realize that to reach P cruising in regular accommodations you need to spend many more nights cruising (o horror!) ? Twice as many. And in a process they spend money aside from cruisefare. Also real suites which cost way more than regular accommodations have many more perks from the beginning than D.
Is every level a lifetime? Hardly. Maybe between D+ and P.
But … this conversation tells me some people really like cruising.
It’s just so many people are reaching statuses they will need to dedicate half of the ship soon.
Technically we are putting our money and time because we want nice vacation aren’t we? Does anyone really go on cruise with RCI specifically to reach higher levels?
I appreciate your sense of humor, but again, airport is for several hours. Still it is a torture.
Not sure why if it does not affect you (read away from the public) "public" should dictate how it is should be done.
I agree about areas being away from public, but disagree about bolded text.
It is completely different processes and I do not think other people should make a decision for people.
I used to smoke a lot, but could never do this in enclosed places. For the same reason I hated casinos. So no, not everyone likes to be in “gas chambers”.
I remember there were some places away from crowds … although I noticed that some people go out of their way to “inhale and complain”.
Not every day, but on some days. We are not really interested in them so we are OK if they are not made at all. If we had kiddo and wanted them daily we would probably tip them to do it more often.
Agree about meds, especially after being through 3 Covids (5 among us), 1 illness similar to Flu or RSV and 1 Noro on board in the last 3 years.
So Robitussin DM cough and congestion, NyQuil/DayQuil, Imodium... and some other stuff.
Not fun!!!
