My daughter is approaching 200 points and is 6.  I think she might get there on our next cruise later this year, but she will be 7 by then.  That is with only one cruise with the recent double points promo.  Feel bad for my sons who have way less points. Lol.  
 

My two year daughter has over 250 points. She will have over 350 points before she is three. Maybe Pinnacle before age 6.

When they each turned 18, between 12 - 20 years ago.

It was to late. You need to create the account before the turned 18. After the age of 18 there is no link to permanently change the status. Status is rarely downgraded.

The reason they didn't get you status because it wasn't done when they were minor childern.

To bring some levity to this conversation.  Many years ago, when this same topic was discussed, there was a lady who got divorced from her spouse.  The husband piggybacked to the wife's tier, even though he did not have the points/nights to qualify for that tier.  The wife was so pissed off 😬at the x-husband and called C&A and got the relationship separated and he was demoted to his actual earned level.  True or not, that is what it was reported.😊

 

As the saying goes "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned."

When I booked my mother the system linked us and dropped my wife and linked my mother. We fixed it but my mother kept her Diamond status that she got from the link.

Then I guess my call to C&A will be valid, at least for my oldest who reverted to Emerald. Albeit 20 years ago! 😉

When, what age were the C&A accounts were created?

Published itineraries are alway in local time. Same as flights.

For #4. Call and ask to have a pack n play added to your reservation under the baby.

You can't use any pool but there is splash zone where the baby can play.

They used to put them in the room, request it you prefer it. They should still be available in the Suite Lounge.

All published itineraries are in local time. Even when a ship's embarking port is in the same time zone as a port, there can be a difference in DST therefore a difference in time.

This is what I was thinking....   When we were on Adventure the Diamond lounge was PACKED nightly.  Suite lounge empty.

 

I was like.... so you reduced crowding in one room by just moving everyone to another.... kinda pointless.

 

BUT.....   it made sense.

 

On adventure the diamond lounge entrance is in the main part of VCL.   All week they just propped the door open.  People wandered in and out to get food, but pretty much the VCL became the diamond lounge. 

 

I honestly loved the process because VCL is so under used, and it's my favorite spot on the ship.

 

I would be happy with them leaving VCL on future ships and using them for diamonds, and putting pinnacles in the old diamond lounges or something similar.

The drinks in the Suite Lounge are unlimited and you can order any drink you like.

How can I find out ship time vs port time? Trying to book some private excursions and don’t want to mess up the reservation.  Thx

The published itinerary time is local time. This is the time that pilots and harbor masters use. A ship may or may not change its time to local time.  So use the itinerary time for planning your excursions.

There is a backlog with passports. I would change my social security info first then update the passport. Make sure to have an orginal copy of the marriage certificate as a bridge document. Make sure you have official copies of documents so you can sail.

I believe you can use the free luggage valet

The normal price of the beverage package is about $83 -$89 per day.

Try www.dobell.com as they sell tuxedos.

I am bring my 8th month old on a cruise next month for her first cruise. We do about 10 cruises a year and I am sure she will be fine.

Your son will do ok.

If everyone is vaccinated, I don't really see why we would care.  

Not every passenger has been vaccinated. Childern under the age of 18 don't need to be vaccinated.

That may not work for a booking made with a TA as the OP has.

Call +18665627625. There is a prompt to select if you booked through a travel agent.

We fly United and their computer systems went down at midnight EST which is the morning time in Italy. That delay is about 20 to 30+ minutes.

Don't forget immigration which will take 30 to 90 minutes. Mornings are buzy.

I have a reservation with two named persons and one TBA. The cruise has been cancelled. I wonder what will happen to the TBA passenger's share of the fcc?

Normally more than 20 depending on length. Only 10 currently booked.

Looks like Air2Sea hasn't loaded all the flights yet,  especially if one plans to fly in 1-2 days early or stay 1-2 days post-cruise. When searching on the exact cruise dates, flight options are available. But if the dates are "altered" no flight options are available yet. 

 

Even though the cruise departure is 10PM, I'd feel more comfortable flying in at least 1-2 days prior, especially in Feb when our winter weather could cause flights delays and cancelations.

 

Looking forward to this great itinerary and spending several says in Barbados.

 

Not all flights to Barbados are daily. For example United has some flight to Barbados that are Sundays only
