sellwingri Posted October 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2022 My daughter is Diamond and will soon be sailing with her husband who has never sailed before. I know he qualifies for her status but is it possible to get this before sailing? They’re most interested in the free 4 drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just do it by phone (have the reservation number and the daughter's C&A number). Especially if the two accounts won't have the same last name, if that's the case. And remind him that he has to give her two of his drinks each day since she earned the level. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Cruiser Posted October 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Yes we just went through this for our last cruise. Call crown and anchor and they will issue a number for him and he will have Diamond Status. (800) 526-9723 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everAfamily Posted October 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2022 If your SIL hasn’t sailed before, he will be enrolled in C & A after completing his first cruise. The boarding pass should have him listed as pre-gold. I hope the representative overlooks this and grants the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A never cruised guest has no entry in the CAS database until after they sail. He is a CAS nobody before he steps on board for the first time.

3CatsInMA Posted October 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hopefully your daughter has a prenup in place, otherwise in the unfortunate event of a divorce the points will be divided and they could both be busted back to Platinum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relationship status is added immediately even prior to them sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son called in advance of our cruise. Wife was immediately issued a Crown and Anchor number with his Diamond status. It was in the cruise record prior to sailing and she received all the benefits of Diamond Status on the cruise including 4 free drinks per day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken on context what I posted was correct for a new cruiser. In a subsequent post I mentioned that existing cruisers get the shared status immediately.

4everAfamily Posted October 11, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Not sure how this information is incorrect since it’s from the C&A website. “If you are a new guest, there is no need to sign up for Crown & Anchor Society. You will be automatically enrolled after you complete your first sailing with Royal Caribbean International (applies to US Residents). Membership benefits begin after you have completed at least one Royal Caribbean International cruise.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI will grant immediate Diamond status to a spouse or significant other prior to cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted October 11, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 11, 2022 People, people. We post a short reply and it is not fully documented, and it ends up being only partially right. RELAX it is just CC not the real world. We can’t all be perfect when we post off the cuff. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted October 11, 2022 #21 Share Posted October 11, 2022 OP - based on personal experience I can tell you YES, RCI will grant Diamond status to a soon to be spouse even if that soon to be spouse has never cruised before. Tell your daughter to call C&A and tell them what is happening. Her soon to be spouse will be given a C&A number and will be awarded Diamond status based on your daughter's status.

OP asked a very specific question to which you gave a general answer that could be confusing to OP. No offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
