It takes so long I call it no mans land. Forever wandering and waiting for pinnacle. That said diamond + has 2 stepping stones within that level with extra perks. More amenity picks, the 340 for upgraded toiletries and solo discount. 525 next step but still called D+.

DH and I used to laugh when we received emails reminding us we only needed 490 or 380 or 275 points to reach the next level. As we have gradually gotten closer, the number finally does not seem as laughable; it now seems possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerick Posted October 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2023 525 points = 1 year + 5 months + 1 week sleeping onboard in my 2F studio balcony cabin (@ $225/day = $120,000 what I booked my Jan 2024 AN trip for) OR 5 months + 3 weeks all by myself in a Junior Suite (@$370/day = 65,000, cheapest Jr Suite I could find) If pineapples ever get important enough to me so I'd eat in the MDR for half a year I could consider it. But they'd better add a lot more variety to the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made it to D in May 2018 (cruised since 2003, but with 8 lines till 2021). Made to D+ in 2022. Next cruise we will have 283. I think with at pace we will make it in another 8-10 years well before retirement. Edited October 18, 2023 by Tatka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not cruise in suites. We do cruise 5 times a year. We even cruise around holidays to maximize vacation. Disembarkation day is always my work day if not a weekend (work remotely while driving).

Rare twangster Posted October 18, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Don't cruise for points. Cruise because you love to cruise and want to travel. Points and status are just side effects that happen along the way. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcony discounts, free drinks, etc. all have a $ value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.. we became more loyal… Not only because of perks, Royal offers great value … and the best collection of cruises out of Northeast year around, but perks are nice.

ARandomTraveler Posted October 19, 2023 #19 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Don't forget - you can always marry your way in 😂 My guess is that the points and status levels will soon be diluted, making it so they're worse less and less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my plan. If my wife dies, I’m gonna hang around the diamond lounge looking for widows wearing pinnacle pins.

He was looking for young girls. It's the older women mostly wearing them gold pins. You will sweep them off their feet. No doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
