Diamond status while on ship

We will become diamond while on our cruise. Does anyone know if they will give us diamond benefits while on the cruise?

Thanks in advance!

What cruise line? Depends on the policy for that cruise line. Check on the board for that cruise line.

Edit: Looks like you might be referring to RCI. Check on the RCI board, here:

I've heard this go both ways. The best thing to do is, go visit the on-board loyalty ambassador and tell them your situation.

Thanks all:)

Probably not. Points are not credited until after you complete your cruise.

Points are totaled and accumulated after the cruise, so officially the answer is no. The only tier level receiving recognition at the time it is attained is Pinnacle. That being said, you can try and ask the Loyalty Ambassador on board to see as some have reported being recognized, although that has never happened in our experience. We were on two recent cruises with friends who turned Diamond and Diamond Plus during each cruise and neither was recognized or afforded benefits for the new tier - and both asked. If you think about it, most tier levels are attained mid cruise but always effective on the next one. The Diamond Lounge and free cocktails will likely have to wait........;)

I was always under the impression that it was your status as of the day you boarded that counted so you won't get the diamond perks until next cruise.

Sorry, but you won't get your Diamond status until after the cruise.

We are doing a b2b on the first cruise the third day we will have our required points.

Well you will need to go to the Loyalty Ambassador before your first cruise is over..........................................

This way they can prepare and recognize you for your second part.

I would approach it....................

"..................Since I am doing a B2B and will attain diamond status on this cruise......................and my next cruise is the second leg of this .........what has to be done to get my perks........................thank you.................."

Be pro-active.

Good luck

let us know how it goes.

Safe travels.

And

Congratulations

Thanks so much, will let you know how it goes

You didn't mention that originally - that's a different scenario. And if that is the case, you will be recognized as Diamond on the second leg of your back to back. You can mention this to C & A prior to your cruise so they can note your fiile, but do follow up as well with the Loyalty Ambassador as you board on the first leg. They will note the points earned on the first leg and will "accelerate" the tally. This is done all the time.

Congratulations on Diamond and enjoy the benefits....starting on your second leg! ;)

Just wanted to let you know we were able to get our diamond status while on our cruise. Yes, I took advantage of it, coffee in the mornings in the diamond lounge and drinks in the evening. We met some nice people and enjoyed talking with them. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting back and good that it worked out for you.

Until I read posts made after this one, I wanted to ask which cruise line. Every cruise line has dif efrent names for their loyalty program and different names for various levels.

no. points are not awarded until after the cruise ends. only Pinnacle are recognized if they make that level while on board.

then you need to go to the loyalty desk ASAP on the first leg and let them know so you can get the perks on the second leg.

This thread started In January, the OP was just reporting back that they were able to get their status upgraded for the second of their B2B

Happy for you, but I did want to mention that this is definitely not the norm. We politely asked about it in the same situation as yours, and we were denied before the sentence was out of my husband's mouth. :(

We were on Vision of the Seas and we did a b2b we only needed two nights and they were so nice they gave us our diamond status on the first leg, we didn't have to wait until the second leg. Also I called Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor before the cruise and they also told me we would get our status, just talk to the Loyalty Ambassador once we get on the ship.

Agree it never hurts to ask. So there is an exception to every rule, so to speak. I believe you were very fortunate though. On one of our B2B cruises we turned diamond (point wise) the second day of the first leg. When I asked the LA if we could move from emerald to diamond mid-cruise he basically said so sorry. But as promised we were diamond on the second leg. Somethings are worth waiting for.
