gmacruiser418 Posted August 13, 2010 #101 Share Posted August 13, 2010 how about putting in the equation, have they ever had an upgrade? when? wouldn't it be fair to rotate this some too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 13, 2010 #102 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The one that calls the D+ desk to remind them they want the upgrade!:D I know a few that have more than 30 CC's, but will start calling 3 weeks out to "check" on their status. I know that some D+'s with over 100 cruise credits will not get a call till the cruise is about 2 weeks out, and that happened just 3 weeks ago. So, I don't see consistency in place as of yet. Rick Im one who calls..........with the pretense of something else......the other day the rep asked if I wanted to order my amenity..........told her no,I need to think about it...........knowing I wanted a good reason to call back starting tomorrow..........even though technically I cant get an upgrade on a 3 nt cruise till I have 75:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotomom Posted August 13, 2010 #104 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd like to know if they have figured all this out yet.......say I book Jan 1st for $1000 and you book June 1st for $2000,who gets the call if we both have say 30 credits?:confused: The one that paid $2000. Based on price paid.... the higher the revenue, the better in RCL's eyes. Also, you "could" get a call WITHIN 3 weeks. That doesn't necessarily mean that exactly 21 days prior to sailing they're going to call. There are enough loopholes in both those paragraphs to prevent anyone from getting an upgrade. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy 4 cruising Posted August 13, 2010 #106 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Im one who calls..........with the pretense of something else......the other day the rep asked if I wanted to order my amenity..........told her no,I need to think about it...........knowing I wanted a good reason to call back starting tomorrow..........even though technically I cant get an upgrade on a 3 nt cruise till I have 75:mad: but what if there isn't anyone else with more credits than you?? I was on a sailing that had LOTS & LOTS of open cabins 3 weeks before sailing and we called and they said, we don't HAVE to and the next week they put it on special and then waited another week before they started upgrading. we didn't get one because there were not enough cabins in that cat left!!! on this next sailing we were called 2 weeks out.

And I'll bet that there's an element of "whose cabin can we best use for another upgrade or re-sell if we upgrade these passengers?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they also take into consideration the amount of $$$ D/D+ members spend while on board - sea pass bills, specialty restaurant visits, tipping habits, etc. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now D but when we were lowly Gold and Platinum (only 1 cruise ago) on every cruise we booked 2 cabins - a JS and an inside for our boys, bought wine and soda packages, dined twice in Portofino (when available), gambled in the casino, prepaid our tips (and then more) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashcat Posted August 13, 2010 #111 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I am so happy about my upgrade because it was a total shock, I had not been waiting for it, taking into consideration all the things I had done on my previous cruises or that I was just a lowly gold - that made it even better - total surprise was the best!

rubrrick Posted August 13, 2010 #116 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Well, we are two weeks out from our cruise today, and I will see if I get lucky enough for an upgrade. Not counting on it at this point, but it never hurts to ask.:) Just will be happy being back on the water again. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipLondon Posted August 13, 2010 #118 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I noticed our upgrade by checking the status of my booking under "My Cruise" on the RC website, we had booked a Balcony Guarantee, and received a GS, this was 12 days before our Oasis sailing, thank you Royal, loyalty does pay. After this I was also send an amended set of documents that showed the new cabin. ...........Happy Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted August 13, 2010 #119 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Then why bother with the date booked wording? Wondered the same thing about both C&A Tier and Cruise Credits in the wording. Just CC would be sufficient since it automatically implies the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
