Xpress Pass

[kdog3ss]

Below my name on my Xpress Pass, it says Aqua Class - Classic.  My wife's says Aqua Class - Classic - Pearl. Any idea what this Pearl means?

Classic your beverage package, and I believe Pearl has something to do with the casino.

Pearl is casino level. Entry level I believe.

Ha! You mean she qualifies for something that I don't get? Not fare! 🤩

Ours should say calcium carbonateas as we don't gamble.

Pearl means she put her card in a slot machine at some point.

Yeah, last year on the RC Oasis. That would do it? 

[CaribbeanBound]

Yup, that could do it.  Same company.

Pearl is the casino level when you have accumulated 1 point.    For a couple years Iain was Pearl and I wasn't because he won a free spin and then re-bet it.

I experienced this same thing during our last cruise earlier this year. My pass said "Pearl" and my bride's did not.

 

Even though we'd both plunked a few shillings into slots during the previous cruise, I happened to "log in" to the machines using my pass, while she did not.

 

Suffice it to say, she not only made sure she logged in earlier this year, but she also tried to jump-me category wise 😆

Trying to figure out our Xpress pass. Mine says Aqua Class - Classic; his says Aqua Class - Select - Pearl. I understand Pearl is casino level and I’m guessing Classic is beverage package but what is Select?

Classic and Select are both loyalty levels (Select is above Classic so he probably has cruised more than you).  

 

The beverage package should be a code somewhere on the Xpress pass.

Usually beverage packages on Xpress Pass are CALL or PALL for Classic/Premium respectively

[ChicagoCruiser2007]

I do now see CALL noted. But odd that hubby has higher level than me as I traveled on celebrity once before we met!  Are there any worthwhile perks at these levels?

Has he cruised Royal Caribbean at all?  Platinum on Royal Caribbean matches with Select on Celebrity.

Call the CC. 1-800-760-0654. Your CC tier levels should be the same since you are married. Your cruise points will be different. They reflect your actual cruises. 

[ChicagoCruiser2007]

I will call. Curious as to the difference. And also curious what perks come with these levels

Thanks for sharing this link! Do you know what the criteria is for these tiers? $$$ spent? Level of cruise (ie AQ)? # of cruises?

CC cruise points are earned depending on stateroom or suite category and the number of nights spent onboard.

I was just reading up on the tier categories. Even though we’ve always gone with AQ, looks like it takes a while to advance! Doesn’t seem like there’s much real benefit anyway (although happy to get a scoop of gelato!)

IMO, once you hit Elite is when the benefits/perks are of value.
