Rare island lady Posted April 20, 2022 #26 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Years ago we had Diamonds in December...many years ago. It was one extra point per night, for Diamonds and up. Popular promo...but did not last long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we hit Diamond, knowing the rules, we didn't even approach the LA to ask if we could be bumped up. I didn't think it would be fair to put them on the spot of having to choose between flouting the rules or telling us "no". The only perk that I really care about is the drink vouchers. On my last cruise, where I became diamond, I already had the drink package. Bothering the LA to upgrade me when I really wasn’t qualified yet seemed redundant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted April 20, 2022 #28 Share Posted April 20, 2022 3 hours ago, FionaMG said: I agree. We hit Diamond two days into a nine-night cruise. I don't really understand why this is the rule. The LA on board has access to your cruising history and could easily bump you up to the next tier the day you make it. I would have been very appreciative of that. Unless the idea is that people are going to be so determined to take advantage of their new status that they will definitely book another cruise? I totally get the idea that Royal can make their own rules, and I can see lots of good reasons for this one. That being said, we were given diamond status mid-cruise. We didn't even ask, one of our friends brought us the diamond stickers. Like many rules, this one can be broken too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our next cruise (after this upcoming one) is Celebrity, are we considered diamond on that one? You will be considered Elite on X.

The two programs exist independently. Points earned on RCL apply to C&A; those earned on X apply to Captain’s Club. Diamonds on RCL receive the benefits of Elite when sailing on X. Simply put, points earned on an X cruise are not added to one’s C&A total. Edited April 21, 2022 by ILCTCRUISER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
