Double points for passengers added after June?

[Cigar King]

I have a two bedroom suite and so far we're only using the one bedroom.  If I add passengers after June, will they be included in the double points promo?  The cruise is booked and will sail before October '22.

 

Thanks

Call Royal 🤪. They don’t know either.

My understanding is that the double points go with the initial reservation. If you’re sharing the rooms with unrelated people, I believe they also get the points posted to their C&A account. I don’t remember seeing anything in the T&C’s for the DPP that says all the beds have to be filled by June 30.

Not sure but my guess would be yes.  I was also wondering if you upgrade yourself after June 1 to a suite would you get those double points.  Also guessing the answer would be yes they just go by the booking date.  Hoping it gets extended thru the end of 2022

I was wondering the same thing! I have two cruises that I would like to upgrade, but the price is high right now.

If you're asking if I'm willing to share your two bedroom suite, my answer is yes.

Can't recall the period that it covers and the specifics.  Can someone educate me.

That would be nice but I doubt you will see any further extensions especially since sailing I’d beginning to resume. The only extension that I could possibly see is the book by date being extended.

Book by June 30, 2021 and sail by Sept 30, 2022

 

Double whatever the number of points you would have normally received.

I seem to recall reading something that your C&A number had to be attached to the reservation by June 30.  If true then this would exclude guests added after June 30 from getting double points.

I'm going to put you on the wait list.  It's getting old just paying for family.  Time to share the joy!  😉

Thanks.  This was my concern.  I'm not too worried though.  It would be nice to see my guests get the extra points though.  Most of them are low in the C&A tiers.

Are the points that big of deal? I don't get some people on here that are so excited about double points. You are spending thousands of dollars, what's an extra free drink a day really mean. If you want a drink, just buy it.

[Cigar King]

4 free drinks would make a difference.  Many of the guests I bring along have little money for vacations.  That being said, I get your point, and generally agree.

I know for us after we got to Diamond status and got free HH drinks we have saved hundreds each sailing on our bar bill😇🍹  And the balcony discount saves us $150 or $250 each sailing.  Maybe that is not a lot to you but it is to us

For some of us solo travelers, reaching  the 340 point mark, it means reduced supplement (150%) on some cruises. That means savings for some of us.

The points are very valuable to some of us.  But the extra points/nights are not offered every day.  It's like a found gift.

Do you think you would get double points based on a suite if you upgrade your cabin to a JS or higher after June 30 on an existing booking?

I’m not sure how they are going to handle that.

I hope I can get to test it but right now  there is a VERY big margin between balconies and JS on all our sailings

[molly361]

I wonder what would happen if you have a booking made before the end of June for 3 nights and then after June 30 change it to a 7 night cruise would you get the double points based on 7 nights?

[Cigar King]

Something tells me the corner cases are going to really make an appearance once cruising starts again.  Maybe I'll prepare a form letter to management.  I'm helpful that way.  😉

Not for us really...We're D+ and very little chance we'll get to Pinnacle.

The booking number would have to be the same...so changing it from a 3 to 7 how would that even work? Not sure it would.
