How would this work? A first time cruiser on a b2b?

I am sailing with a friend this summer on 2 b2b 7 day cruises. She has never cruised with RCI before, and after the first cruise, will be Gold. What is your experience with this? Can she 'sign up' on the first sailing to get the Gold for the second?

What does she need to be Gold for??

I did a B2B transitioning from platinum to emerald and it does not automatically credit the account for the cruise that quickly. There really is almost no benefit to gold. You can always speak to the loyalty ambassador onboard if it's an issue.

She will have to speak to the Loyalty Ambassador on the second cruise in order to get her level changed.

I think that there are still some discounts on drinks and such that are worth having if you are 'only' gold ....

Agreed. It's not a big issue, but it's nice to get even a little perk or two when you enrol in Crown and Anchor. We've all been there once upon a time.

More importantly, enjoy your B2B! We have been on a couple and they are fantastic. Have a great time. :)

I wonder if the LA is swift enough and system allows it to have the new Seapass card on turnaround day already reflect the new level (instead of fixing it after the fact).

I doubt it. I know folks who became Pinnacle and while they were given a gold colored card, it still said Diamond Plus.
