GeriatricNurse Posted February 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I am 'Gold' Status and I have never received any information from NCL on the process to obtain a 'Bronze', 'Silver' or 'Gold' Lapel Pin! Do I have to contact NCL directly in order to have them mailed to me or are all the pins available on each ship, at 'Guest Services'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all 3 on Epic at the latitudes desk, I think cruise next may have them on the other ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romalley99 Posted February 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2023 All the pins are available at the Cruise Next Desk in the Atrium. 🙂 Make sure to ask for all of them up until your status. They will give them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that DW has ours squirreled away somewhere, but I'm just not a merit badge wearing type of person anymore. I outgrew that about the time I figured out that nobody cared (I think that was around the time I turned ten and dropped out of such things). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, nobody is forcing you to either take or wear the pin. If you don't want to wear it, fine...your choice. Someone else wants to, fine...their choice. Everyone can do what makes them happy. Just can't understand why you'd bother painting this with such a negative light on what others may want to do. Can't you simply let others do what they want without throwing shade? 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know quite a few people that are into "status". I've always thought it was a strange thing to be proud of. We cruise because we enjoy it. We enjoy the perks of our status, but never think of it as something to put on display for...others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

complawyer Posted February 12, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2023 hey sea shark: why do you always seem to get your knickers in a twist? it seems that after any given question or comment, you're the one "throwing shade" i just merely inquired if the op was actually going to wear the pin. i wasnt berating, criticizing or making fun of him/her.. we're sapphire, and have been on over 24 ncl cruises. consequently i have a drawer full of those latitude pins. yes! i know i could have turned them down, but it's way easier just to accept them, say "thank you" and throw they in the suitcase. god bless anyone who wants to wear/display them proudly by the way, it's completely wrong to call out chiefmate jrk. havent you figured out by now, that most of his posts are firmly tounge cheek and almost entirely satirical? it's a forum site, you neednt take yourself nor the posts so seriously. im and old man, so best advice to you is "LIGHTEN UP" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't quote you, respond to you, or say anything about your post. Yet you want to jump on me...better check as it appears that your knickers are knotted. As for the topic, I haven't expressed an opinion either way...I just don't understand why people here have such a problem when someone has an opinion different than their own. Wear a pin if you want, don't wear one if you don't want, but find something to replace the judgment of other people's choice in the matter. What part of that do you have a problem with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did away with the ship specific pins, and when they revamped the program in January 2022, they introduced new pins in coordination with your Latitudes Level. You can pick up yours at the Cruise Next Desk onboard the ships the next time you cruise 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be even cooler than that is a lapel pin of your absolutely awesome Canadian poutine Venn diagram logo. Where can I get one of those?

Don't you just love the CC posts that begin: "Our status is Unobtanium" and continues: "and we were treated as if it was our first cruise. We had to ask several times to get our six free liters of water in our room.". Edited February 13, 2023 by RocketMan275 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
