smeck Posted March 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Stupid question for sure . If your status changes in the middle of a cruise do you receive those benefits during your current sailing or the following cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted March 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I believe it's the following cruise, but I'm sure someone will come through and let you know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted March 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You will gain your new status at the COMPLETION of the cruise. So you will not get any of the new benefits until your next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted March 14, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Following cruise! But f you have a B2B talk to the loyalty person onboard so they can set you up with the benefits of your new level for he second cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted March 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Some here have said that if they are on a back-to-back cruise and their status changed during the first leg of the cruise, their status was updated for the second leg of the cruise. Other than that, status does not usually change until you have completed a cruise. The new higher status will apply on your next cruise. That said, on our last cruise we received our second crystal engraved ship block because of the number of cruise credits we were earning during that cruise. I was really surprised because I didn't think we would receive that gift until we sailed on our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: back to back cruises- Even then, the change (if applicable) isn't made until the completion of the first sailing. The only difference with speaking to the loyalty ambassador is that that way you can ensure that the status is recognized on the 2nd leg of the back to back; normally it takes a couple of weeks for RC's computer system to show your updated status, which means it your status wouldn't be recognized quickly enough to apply for cruise #2. With the crystal block, that's different from an actual change in C&A status, and the benefits state that it will be given during the cruise on which you earn the necessary number of points (although it reality they often mail it to you later, or sometimes never, in which case you have to call them 5 times to remind them, LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last cruise, DH and I became Emerald, 5 days into an 11 day cruise. Even though the cruise was long enough to almost equal 2 cruises, we were told that no changes could be made to current status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
