Cigar King Posted July 30, 2018 Author #1608 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It rained yesterday and when I came out to my car somebody had buffed it with a fine shammy so the spots didn't show. I like to see the Gold's taking that extra step to make sure things are going well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted July 30, 2018 #1611 Share Posted July 30, 2018 What did the Platinums do? :confused: Gold's who have served more than 2 years and follow direction, but still lack the initiative to work unsupervised. I would like to see the levels redone. Gold becomes "Gold Plated", Platinum "10k Gold", and Emerald "14k Gold" this allows us to just call them Gold's while still letting them have their little pecking order.

Tatka Posted July 31, 2018 #1617 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It’s funny that our very next cruise after we achieved D status isn’t even with RCCL (these will come later this year) So I am thinking of ways to flaunt our D status with RCCL on NCL. Any suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted July 31, 2018 #1619 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Plus make sure you tell everyone you come in contact with that you are a DS. Even if it means changing the subject to make it all about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions please? I have a similar problem, but in my case my next cruise after becoming diamond is an expedition ship to Antarctica. I’ve been assured that all bird life will be wearing tuxedos in my honor. Which seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions please? The one true Cigar King, leader of the DS, wears his Royal Caribbean robe decorated with all his pins and is announced by trumpeters as his elevator passes each deck. Kudos to those musicians, who run the stairs to play as the elevator passes. That would probably work. Or, just loudly shout out "Royal Diamond Member Here" as you enter any venue. Please be careful as jealousy will definitely be present, and who knows if any Royal Gold Corp will be there to surround you. Enjoy your cruise. Remember if you have any issues, you can still email Royal and complain, even though it is not their ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted July 31, 2018 #1622 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Oh... you guys/gals are fun! I used to confuse people by wearing visors and other stuff from different lines, but your suggestions are great! NCL has completely different way of naming their loyalty levels. They start with Bronze and a Gold is their 3rd level. Of course I wasn’t paying attention and on our second cruise when we arrived into terminal and asked which level we were, not knowing about program differences and thinking that we are repeating cruisers I told them - We are Gold members. We were directed into priority Check-in lounge right away. My husband looked at me like I had a third eye. So I think with my “skills” I will flaunt my newly acquired D status very successfully.

Ocean Boy Posted July 31, 2018 #1624 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Those dangerous Polar Bears will be kept out of sight by some cold golds;p Polar bears are only dangerous when they are hungry. It is important to take a few expendable golds along on this type of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
