Status Change during cruise/When do increased benefits apply?

We are 3 points shy of a change in status and about to take a 20 day cruise. I am wondering if we are able to take advantage of any of the extra benefits while on this cruise, or will we have to wait until the cruise after???

Seabourn points are awarded at the completion of each cruise. Therefore the new membership level and benefits will be available on your next cruise.

I am pretty sure that is correct -sadly - but do email Seabourn Club to make sure.

It is correct. Been there!

That is in the T&C's advertised on their website!

Think about it.....it is like a frequent flyer programme.....do airlines award your change in status as you fly on a qualifying flight to the next level of status?

A loyalty programme could not operate on such a basis.

Although Seabourn does not credit you until the end of the cruise, Regent Seven Seas does. We were pleasantly surprised about this while onboard a RSS cruise a few years back.

RSSC's website states the following: "If you have sailed with us before and are already a Seven Seas Society member, your new tier benefits take effect on the first day of the cruise during which you transition from one tier to the next".

Hardly a reason to cancel and rebook on Regent. Jimmyw9 is stating Seabourn policy and it rolls up towards great benefits such as a free 2 week cruise after 250 days sailed. That's worth earning and getting when it's earned.

Happy sailing!

Thanks everybody, I thought that was probably the case.

Sadly thats one of the things Regent does better. On them as soon as you reach the date you get the benefit. Seabourn it's on your following cruise.

Regent does. If you hit the next tier during your cruise, it begins at the start of your cruisse

We are on a 32 day cruise Auckland to Bali the cruise was sold as a single cruise originally then later it became 2. Auckland to Melbourne Melbourne to Bali before the first segment to Melbourne we will have reached Gold club status I wrote to Seabourn club asking if we would be advanced to the next level. They responded that we would, just alert the club or cruise specialist upon are arrival in Melbourne.
