Yes. We’re just trying to figure out if we’ll have to book another sailing before he turns 18. After the one in which we gain D+ status. Since he won’t actually have the points, I’m wondering if he has to physically sail as a D+ before he gets it permanently.

I know the basics about children having their parents’ status, but keeping their actual points. My question is in regard to when the status is officially obtained. Let’s say my husband and and I make Diamond Plus on our next cruise. My 17yo will also then get that status. But, does he have to cruise with us again, after we make Diamond Plus (because that status is not recognized until the next sailing), in order to keep Diamond Plus when he turns 18? In other words, let’s say he turns 18 right after the sailing in which we get Diamond Plus. Will he remain Diamond?

How much are they?

They do get the Internet perk. We use it every time.

He’ll get 4 drinks per day (can use for coffee, mocktails, water, etc), one 24-hour period of Internet, and 1 free photo…those are the best benefits 😊

Just got our Odyssey block from April this year.

You’re right. That doesn’t make sense at all.

My understanding is that it’s ship-dependent. There was one point where l read they were going to discontinue the program, until guests complained. As a result, some of the newer ships, such as Odyssey, did not immediately begin producing the glass blocks, thus resulting in a backlog. Just reiterating what I have read previously. However, that would explain why some are getting their blocks from the older ships prior to those who are waiting for blocks from Odyssey and Wonder, for example. I imagine some of the older ships ran out of stock as well, then did not reorder when they thought the program would be discontinued.

We were on Odyssey in April and we’re able to use the UDP at the wine bar. Not sure if it’s changed since then, but I hope not.

I find that there are very limited wines for $13 and under per glass, and many you cannot get by the glass. That being said, with the beverage package you can just pay the difference (the difference for anything above $12 or $13, depending on ship), and you get a discount on bottles if I’m remembering correctly.
