CrusingRuthing Posted February 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2019 About to sail on my first RCCL cruise as an adult and somehow I already have 29 points. I went on one cruise when I was 11 and it was 6 nights. How did I get all of these points and what are the ways you can earn them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You get them by sailing. 29 seems high for one cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the only way to get them was by getting one point for each night you sail. We also only have an interior room, not a suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailing in suites and solo cruising will raise the number of points per night. Look at your cruise history to determine how you got the points. Also, if you are under 18 and are still linked with parents, then your points will refect your parent's point total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwcruisers Posted February 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) LOL -- our adult DS somehow managed to morph from gold to platinum, over the years, too. My thought is that it was a direct or indirect result of the C&A point-system change-over, that occurred several years ago. Unlike X's stingy change-over in their Captains' Club point system, I recall that RC was quite generous, when it came to converting from points for cruises to days at sea. 😎 Edited February 7, 2019 by wwcruisers spelling error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm interior room as well with 8 points How many cruise have your parents been on? Until you turn 18, you will get the same number of points that they receive. If they have 2 or 3 cruise without you, that would explain the increase on your points. Edited February 7, 2019 by cruiseguy1016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismch Posted February 7, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 7, 2019 There is also a tie in with Azamara. I've never cruised with them, but I do have an upgraded loyalty status due to our cruises on Celebrity and RCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not get POINTS. The 29 points that OP has had to have come from RCI somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixesandeights Posted February 8, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You were linked to your parents account and they likely have that number of points. You would match their status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALSEAU Posted February 9, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 9, 2019 OP needs to go to their RCI account and look under Crown & Anchor information which will have a drop down menu to check cruise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgrenstromer Posted March 15, 2019 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I have another question related to crown and anchor - does anyone know when they started automatically enrolling everyone as a member with their first cruise? I'm trying to find out what my kids' C&A #'s are, and I can't find the #'s anywhere in my records, my daughter has sailed with rccl twice before, (once in 2008 and once in 2012) and my son sailed in 2012, but I'm not sure if we ever signed them up since I can't find their #'s anywhere, and when I read on their website it says that passengers are auto-enrolled so no sign up is required, so if this was in effect back in 2008 and 2012 then they should have membership numbers. I'm in Europe so I have been trying to verify this with RCCL via mail and they are not responding! I've sent them over 4 mails now, both via the C&A contact and normal customer service. I didn't think my question was THAT complicated...:O Maybe some of you expert RCCL cruisers know? thanks! /Krista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest lucked out as I think he's the only one of my 3 who has my exact cruise points (but didn't go on 4 of mine) whereas I expect his sisters have lower numbers, I'll need to check. But since he was also the one we just took on Indy I told him he'll now be Emerald but his sisters will be lower. he liked that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we sailed for the first time in 2014, you had to sign up, and AFTER you sailed. No number or sign up prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sowhat Posted March 18, 2019 #24 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Pay attention to your cruise points After returning from a 2 week cruise 10 weeks ago, we noticed our total cruise points have not increased. Emailed C&A and was informed that the total was right. E-mailed numerous times with screen shots of total cruise points on RCI web with point before and after two week cruise. Received phone back that their total was correct . More emails to C&A but no replies, so pay attention to your point totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 17 and shows he is Diamond with 117 pts (our # of pts). When I click on his cruise history it shows his actual sailings which are only 51 pts. I am wondering if his total pts will change to his actual sailed # when he turns 18 next March. I hope not!! I was disappointed I would not be able to get to D+ for him this year, but we will be able to easily do it on his own in the next few years if he stays at our # of pts when he turns 18. Especially because we have another 20 pts or so to come before he even turns 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
