How may voyage credits and days did/will it take you to reach Elite?

Why is it fair not to give a credit for someone on a 1-6 day cruise? They are still cruising and have paid money to Princess to do so.

 

We just reached Elite a week ago with 12 cruises and 135 days. (we were in WS for 3 cruises so received double credit and now have 15 credits).

To me spending 16 days on a cruise ship should not make you an elite. Elite should come through a commitment to the cruiseline. It’s not that they wouldn’t get credit, their days still count towards status, but the cruise credit wouldn’t.

8 cruises, 31 sailing days and I was Elite. Six cruises by myself, one being in a suite. 7 were four day cruises while the other was a 3 day cruise. I'm estimating that total cruise fares were < $5,000 while casino cash offers to book some of these were >$1,000 total and OBC's for the 8 were > $500.

Living in the Fort Lauderdale area during 2014 really paid off with great cruise deals at a time when they couldn't fill the ships.

Today my cruise count stands at 40 (with 20 actual cruises) and 124 days.

It's nice to know that I can now give Princess a break while I try other lines, but that when I come back in 10 years, I'll still have Elite benefits.

There is certainly a wide range of days/credits at which some have reached the elite level. I wonder how closely Princess monitors this particular data in order to determine when or if they modify the required levels needed to do so.

The laundry benefit is per passenger not per cabin.

 

Normally only sail in full suites so I get the laundry anyway. I guess I shouldn’t get the 10% discount either if I buy something on his account :rolleyes:
